The brushed flannel fabric is not only visually appealing, but also warm and breathable, making it ideal for the autumn and winter seasons. While a solid color would give off a noble vibe, the choice of a medium gray flannel with wide-pitch stripes interwoven with white threads is full of trendy flair. With its wide lapels, high button placement, and flapless change pocket, and although not visible in the photos, it actually features a beltless side adjuster design, giving it a strong presence even when the jacket is removed, this Luca Grassia jacket has many noteworthy details. It can be said that this is a piece that more than adequately expresses Mr. Fujita's individuality.

Moreover, the shirt has a tab collar, adding character to the neckline. The fact that he has kept the tie understated to balance the already sophisticated suit and shirt is further evidence of careful consideration. Until now, button-down collars were popular as the third most popular shirt collar style in business attire after semi-wide and wide collars, but perhaps because they have become more widespread, the popularity of tab collars seems to be gradually increasing. As a collar style that originally originated in formal wear, it offers a fresh twist while maintaining an elegant feel.

This autumn, a tab-collar shirt and flannel suit combination like this conveys a sense of understated style while staying on trend. It's sure to make a good impression in the office.
