The rainy season is just around the corner. For business people, this is one of the most depressing seasons, with bad weather making daily commutes and fieldwork more difficult. To make these days a little more enjoyable and comfortable, it's a good idea to enjoy this season while also being mindful of functionality in fashion. So, we've carefully selected rainy-day items that combine fashion and functionality. Here are some must-have items to enjoy during the rainy season.

REGAL rain boots, ¥17,280 ( Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building B1F = Men's Shoes)

Rainy day fashion starts from the feet.

Since its introduction last year, REGAL's rain shoes have been popular for their combination of practicality and fashion. The "Rain Series," featuring a waterproof PVC resin upper and a non-slip rubber sole, now includes a new lace-up boot with a side zipper. Using REGAL 's signature rounded, basic last, it achieves an elegant silhouette despite being a rain boot. Along with last year's hugely popular side-gore boots, this season offers a wide variety of options, including new camouflage-patterned soles.

The new lace-up boots have also evolved in terms of functionality, with features such as an inner zipper for easy on and off. We offer a range of models, primarily in basic colors like black and navy, but also with playful sole colors.

A "high-quality umbrella" that you'll want to own at least once, enjoying the materials and colors.

Founded in 1854, Maglia Francesco is known as Italy's oldest and only handmade umbrella manufacturer. At their Milan factory, instead of mass production, skilled craftsmen, characteristic of a long-established brand, meticulously create each umbrella using traditional methods, from fabric cutting and machine sewing to frame construction. Acquiring a high-quality, authentic umbrella that you can cherish for years to come, especially in preparation for the rainy season, is a luxury only adults can truly appreciate.

A metal plate engraved with the brand logo is proof that it's a Maglia Francesco umbrella. The brand's signature classic stripe patterns are made from fabric woven in a factory that also produces necktie fabrics, resulting in a thick, weighty fabric with vibrant, vivid colors. The brand's products are robustly constructed, have a beautiful form, and convey the warmth of handmade craftsmanship and wood. Just as in Europe, where it's customary to pass down a favorite umbrella from parent to child and cherish it, this is a masterpiece that makes you want to "cherish good things and use them for as long as possible."

A genuine folding umbrella that you'll want to carry around with the handle peeking out.

FOX UMBRELLAS folding umbrella, ¥14,040 ( Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 1F = Dress Shirts & Ties)

Founded in 1868 in England by Thomas Fox, FOX UMBRELLAS originally manufactured small parachutes. They leveraged the high durability of their materials to develop the world's first nylon umbrella. Beyond functionality, their umbrellas are renowned for their beautiful form and meticulous attention to materials, earning them immense popularity among the British royal family and around the world. In rainy Britain, owning an umbrella from this brand, a favorite among the upper class, is now considered a mark of sophisticated style. Their umbrellas are not only practical, but their designs also carefully consider how to elegantly enhance the appearance of the person carrying it.


Featuring high-density nylon for a luxurious feel and 10 ribs for added strength, this folding umbrella completely avoids the cheapness often associated with such umbrellas. While retaining the elegant silhouette characteristic of the "Fox" brand, it boasts a smart and beautiful form that sets it apart from ordinary umbrellas. The handle is made from the classic natural-colored Malacca wood, and because it is crafted to showcase the natural texture of the wood, each umbrella has a unique color, feel, and texture. Each umbrella is carefully finished by skilled craftsmen, offering an easy way to experience traditional British craftsmanship and elegance—a hidden gem from a long-established brand. It's not small enough to easily slip into a bag, but there's something charming about letting the handle peek out as you walk.
