How to combine shirts and ties without being bound by brand names

Ms. Ishida, who is in charge of the newly revamped curated accessories corner this spring, doesn't give off a stern image despite wearing a double-breasted suit. The slim silhouette, short length, and compact form, along with the casual detail of patch pockets, refresh the traditional impression of double-breasted suits.

The striped shirt is an Italian brand, and the knit tie is an American brand. While it was once considered unfashionable to pair an Italian shirt with an American tie, ignoring such strict rules and coordinating them in this way is a sign of a progressive men's style. Modern classic style is best enjoyed freely, without worrying about the origins of brands.

Suit: Doppia Arr. Shirt: Guy Rover. Tie: Brooks Brothers. Pocket square: Drake's. Glasses: Kaneko Optical. Watch: Shinola Detroit.

The outfit, primarily in dark navy with minimal white, exudes a dressy feel. Even the accessories show attention to detail. The pocket square, in particular, is navy with a white border, and the amount of white is perfectly suited to today's ensemble.

His glasses are purely for show, and his watch is American-made. Mr. Ishida, who embodies the new wave of classic style, wears Alden bit loafers, a brand not available domestically. His choice of items, a mix of hard and soft styles, shows that he fully enjoys classic fashion without any rules. Following in the footsteps of Ivy League, DC Continental, and Classico Italia, a new era of suit style is here.
