With growing attention on styles that blend design and functionality, numerous domestic and international brands are releasing a steady stream of intricately crafted and sophisticated items. We present four styling ideas focusing on these must-have items for this autumn and winter season, which combine lightness, warmth, ample storage, and functionality with stunning design.

Lightness that lets you feel the breeze and a carefully calculated cut.

I selected a camouflage coat from <A-COLD-WALL>. It gives a light, autumnal impression without feeling heavy. Each item in this styling has a zippered pocket, so you don't have to worry about your belongings falling out when you go out. Also, functional details are incorporated in various places, so you can go out without worrying about your movements being restricted even when carrying your belongings. I want to enjoy autumn style while feeling the breeze hands-free.

The pursuit of eye-catching, exquisite colors and practical specifications.

 

A Cold Wall is a fashion brand founded in the UK by Samuel Ross. As its name suggests, it uses architectural designs and gray industrial materials to create a wide range of highly designed items. In particular, the designer himself places the utmost importance on practicality, which is reflected in the cutting and silhouette of the garments. This camouflage coat is a mid-length coat with a concealed fastener on the front and flap pockets. The hood has a shape-retaining wire, allowing it to maintain its shape and be freely reshaped. It also has four flap pockets and a drawstring at the hem for adjustment, making it a highly practical item. The top is a relaxed-fit storm jacket from the same brand, made from durable technical shell. The storm flap hood adds a touch of utility.

For the pants, I chose a cropped pair from The Viridi-anne, a brand known for its sophisticated designs based on charcoal rather than black, featuring a particularly technical cut that prioritizes functionality. The outer fabric is a 2-layer waterproof material bonded with wool, combined with Hybrizatec, and features a slim silhouette with a Velcro belt at the hem. For the shoes, I chose boots from ALYX, a brand that presents futuristic and minimalist designs in its collections. The result is a sophisticated style that isn't too casual.

Enjoy exceptional storage capacity and a stylish silhouette.

We focused particularly on "storage capacity" for all items. Every item worn has two or more pockets, allowing you to store all your basic belongings. The outfit is unified in black, which is especially good for showcasing gear-type items, creating a smart style. The silhouette is on-trend (slightly relaxed), but because it's gear-type, it's adjustable, so you can change the silhouette depending on the occasion. We encourage you to change your styling to suit your mood and the situation.

The three-dimensional silhouette is appealing.

This blouson is from the brand <product almostblack>, created by Masaki Kawase, whose concepts are "practical," "design with necessity," and "timeless." In terms of the brand's concept of "practicality," it uses e-vents to release heat appropriately. Tucks are placed all over, allowing for a three-dimensional silhouette, and the raglan design means it suits a variety of body types.

This time, the outfit is coordinated with the matching pants, but the pants also have a similar three-dimensional silhouette and possess the same characteristics. They can be purchased separately, so we encourage you to expand your styling options by buying them individually and mixing and matching with other items.

The shoes selected are a collaboration between MINOTAUR INST. and the Danish shoe brand ECCO. Featuring a removable leather-covered insole with the ECCO Comfort Fiber System™, these shoes are simple yet comfortable, and you'll realize how easy they are to style once you try them on.

A playful combination of different materials in the same color.

 

This style strikes a balance between being too outdoorsy and fashionable, while also offering ample storage with plenty of pockets. The outer layer, vest, and pants are all workwear/military-inspired items, but the key is to keep the color palette dark to avoid looking too casual, resulting in a chic image.

The vest and pants are not made of the same material, but rather a combination of different materials in the same color. A bandana-print button-down shirt is added to the outfit to prevent it from becoming too monotonous. The pants have a design with many pockets placed in a well-balanced way, which helps to prevent them from looking too heavy. The vest is also reversible, with the lining made of "Chenille," a symbolic material of this season, and the styling is designed to make the most of both sides.

With its exceptional warmth and lightweight comfort, this garment will get you through this winter.

The key to this styling is the new "Fake Melton" material used in the Madison Parka, which is new this season. At first glance, it looks like heavy wool melton, but it's actually made of polyester, making it an excellent item that is very light and comfortable to wear while also providing excellent warmth. In addition to the three pockets on the outside, there are also three pockets on the inside, so you can go out without a bag. Another advantage is that, being polyester, it is easier to care for than wool.

A military look achieved through an all-black ensemble.

This styling centers around a utility jacket from CP Company's URBAN PROTECTION series, with the inner wear and pants also in all black. At first glance, it's a chic style, but the multiple pocket placements on both the outer jacket and pants, along with the use of different materials in various places, give it a rugged, masculine feel while also incorporating a trendy military look. In addition, the hood of the outer jacket is detachable, allowing for layered styles depending on your mood.



These pants have a slim, streamlined silhouette, making them perfect for city wear. They feature an adjustable drawstring waist and are easy-to-wear pants made from a mix of different materials. A special weaving technique combines cotton and nylon, resulting in a soft feel and technical functionality.

Practical outerwear that pays attention to the functionality and texture of the materials.

This utility jacket from CP Company uses Taslan nylon, resulting in a soft, matte texture similar to cotton, while also offering quick-drying properties. Multiple utility pockets are strategically placed on the front for added functionality. The hood features a removable protective mask, and the front pocket is adorned with an URBANPROTECTION logo badge. This practical and stylish outerwear is truly a must-have for today's style.
