With summer vacation over, the season for shirts and ties that hint at autumn is almost here—from Wednesday, August 22nd, Isetan Shinjuku Store will be holding its "Colorful Festival" throughout the entire building to celebrate the arrival of autumn. At the Dress Shirts & Ties section on the 1st floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , the theme is "Vintage & Scottish-Italian," featuring the latest collection of shirts and ties that beautifully enhance a man's V-zone. Buyer Tomohiro Watanabe will explain this season's trends and must-see topics.

"Vintage & Scottish Italian" to enhance classic style.

Watanabe appeared wearing a vintage tie from the 1950s. This season, the focus is on "original made" items from each brand and vintage eye curves that evoke a sense of the past. "We expressed the trendy classic style with shirts and ties that have a sense of history and affection," he explained about the Fall/Winter 2018 season.

The V-zone is themed around "Scottish Italian," which Isetan Men's is promoting as a seasonal trend for this autumn/winter season. It combines Italy's expertise in soft tailoring with colors and patterns inspired by British vintage styles to create "Britain as seen from Italy."

"A tie that picks up one of the colors from the stripes will create a harmonious look," says Watanabe.

Dress shirts are trending with multi-colored stripes, and the brand offers sophisticated items such as shirts made with LUIGI BORRELLI 's "Tessuto Esclusivo" (exclusive fabric) and shirts from the ROYAL COLLECTION that use higher-grade fabrics.

Drake's ties: ¥20,520 each

The tie to match is a smoky regimental tie from the popular brand Drake's , which is very on-trend today. Warm colors such as birming orange, burgundy, and brown are key, and the muted colors look modern in Drake's signature unlined, three-fold construction.
