Are you familiar with "Pants Mania," a popular feature on the Instagram shop account for men's tailored clothing on the 5th floor of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building which showcases trendy pants and their styling? In this feature, buyer Yamaura aims to "increase the number of people who enjoy fashion by learning about the depth of pants," and proposes coordinated looks that make the most of the unique characteristics of pants that have just arrived on the same floor. This time, in a special feature titled "Pants Mania Special Edition!", buyer Yamaura will introduce this season's must-have slacks and pants, as well as recommended styles, along with his thoughts behind them.

What kind of pants is Pants Mania buyer Yamaura paying attention to this spring?

Our Instagram posts, which focus on the characteristics of pants such as silhouette and details, have been helpful to those who are struggling to choose from the many pants available, and we've felt a sense of accomplishment. We look forward to your continued support.

Since I started promoting my "pants fetish," I've often been asked about the importance of pants, and I think pants play the role of the anchor in a relay race.

When deciding on an outfit, most people start by choosing their top or outerwear, but the final step is the pants, and the choice of pants determines the overall style. Especially in spring and summer, pants become a key item in determining the style because the tops tend to be lighter, so I hope you enjoy choosing your pants.

The common theme across these three styles is "adult military." Here are three watches you should consider next.

At Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 5th floor, the men's tailored clothing section offers a wide selection of business trousers as well as designer trousers that are perfect for discerning men. This season, in particular, we have a great selection of trousers with a military-inspired design.

This time, we'll be suggesting styling ideas starting with military pants that can be enjoyed in dressy, casual, and resort settings. While military pants often have a heavy-duty image, the three pairs we'll be introducing have excellent individual qualities, such as well-crafted pleats at the waistband like slacks, and a glossy material that gives them an elegant feel. They can be easily paired with any top.

1. Dress up in a sophisticated military style with tangent trousers.

From Tangent, a brand that launched this season, we've chosen a new pair of military pants that updates the details of French military overpants from the 1940s. While incorporating authentic details such as the double pockets and detachable adjuster belt characteristic of overpants, the material gives them a fresh feel that makes them easy to wear like slacks.



The outfit features trousers with a distinctive chunky detail, so we've deliberately paired them with a blazer and a chambray shirt with a tie. We propose a dress style that could be called "urban military."

2. Enjoy a casual adult military look with custom-made PT TORINO pants.

I loved the fit of the "Level Fit" trousers from PT TORINO, which debuted in the Fall/ Winter 2020 season with a beautiful no-pleat design. So, I created a special Isetan-exclusive version of these "Gurkha trousers for adults" in twill fabric, available in five colors and denim. This is my proudest creation this season.



The silhouette is characterized by a relaxed fit from the waist to the knees, tapering nicely towards the hem. The special order model features a single loop and is adorned with a metal button, showcasing meticulous attention to detail.
For this outfit, try a relaxed look with a travel jacket and a t-shirt, paired with military-inspired pants for a unique style. Also, give the olive green and black color combination a try.

3. Enjoy a sophisticated military resort experience at Giabs Archivio.

When I was looking for pants that I could enjoy in a sporty yet elegant way at a resort, I came across the "TIZIANO" model from giabsarchivio 's "SPACE-FIT" series.

These pants feature a drawstring and elasticated waistband, meeting the needs of today's consumers who seek comfort and a casual look. The single pleat provides a comfortable, relaxed fit around the waist, while the tapered silhouette and cargo pockets (without gussets) create a clean, understated look.



This time, we're suggesting a cardigan and shirt combination, but a linen shirt paired with leather shoes would also fit a relaxed mood.

This season's theme for men's tailored clothing, "Stylish Fashion," embodies our desire for people to enjoy fashion as a way to add color to their lives, and our wish to invigorate the fashion industry, which is our community. We hope that by helping everyone enjoy fashion, we can revitalize the entire industry, and we will continue to introduce our products with this in mind. Please keep an eye on ISETAN MEN'S for the Spring/Summer 2021 season.
