[Feature] TAGLIATORE 's latest cotton suit sets are perfect for business occasions! How to mix and match them to suit different levels of formality.


As spring approaches, businessmen are thinking, "It's time to start looking for a business suit for spring and summer." Isetan Men's presents a new styling suggestion from the popular Italian brand TAGLIATORE . Combining TAGLIATORE 's popular "VESVIO" cotton suit, which debuted this season, with a matching blouson (dubbed a "shirt") made of the same material, we propose five different looks suitable for various business situations with varying levels of formality. The explanations are provided by stylist Soeda from the Men's Tailored Clothing section on the 5th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . We introduceコーディネートs that showcase the unique appeal of a cotton suit set.

How to skillfully differentiate between high, medium, and low levels of formality in business settings using three different items.

The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the casualization of business attire have significantly loosened the long-standing "must-dos" of how to wear a suit. However, precisely because the range of work attire has broadened, it's also true that the "level of formality" of one's attire needs to be adjusted depending on the work situation and the level of formality.

For example, from high-pressure internal presentations to meetings with clients, remote work in co-working spaces or cafes, and computer work in the office, a three-piece suit from TAGLIATORE 's "Vesuvio" line, consisting of a suit jacket and trousers and a matching four-pocket blouson, allows you to create different outfits for various situations, depending on the level of tension, by combining it with your existing innerwear.

Cotton suits were previously considered a fashionable item for those with a keen sense of style, but their wrinkle-resistant properties, the ability to wear the jacket and trousers separately, and their versatility for year-round wear have led to a re-evaluation of their relevance in today's world. We'll introduce "truly useful business items and outfits" that can be worn in a variety of business situations.

The "Vesuvio" suit and "Shirt" blouson are available in three colors: khaki, navy, and brown.

The jacket of the "Vesuvio" suit features slightly wider shoulders than TAGLIATORE 's standard models, slightly wider lapels, and a higher gorge line. The waist is nicely shaped. The matching trousers are neatly tapered and made of cotton, so they can be worn casually like chinos.


This blouson-style "shirt" with a collar is a versatile piece that can be worn like a shirt with buttons and a tie, or as a light jacket. Its design has a military feel, reflecting this season's trends.


[Scene 1] On a day with a high-pressure internal presentation, I wear a suit and tie.

The best weapon when wearing a suit is, of course, the tie. A white dress shirt pairs well with a khaki suit, and a dark brown tie with a small pattern adds a touch of elegance for a classic look.


[Scene 2] For meetings with clients, wear an outfit that's in line with this season's trends.

When stepping outside, I want to lift my spirits and look stylish. I'm using a suit jacket on its own, and coordinating it with a denim chambray shirt and navy slacks. For a tie that brightens my face, I've chosen a regimental tie with a burgundy accent.

[Scene 3] On days when I'm working on my computer in the office, I switch to relaxation mode.

A cardigan made of good quality material is perfect when a T-shirt or knit sweater alone is too casual. Cardigans are also great for remote work and are a popular item that can give you a slightly more professional look. For bottoms, suit trousers and clean white sneakers are a perfect match. The suit trousers have a neat, classic silhouette and are made of cotton, so they are as comfortable to wear as chinos.

A collared blouson made from the same material as a suit is a trendy item right now. For cafes and co-working spaces where you're conscious of how you look, button it up for a clean impression. Pairing it with white pants will further enhance the seasonal feel.

[Scene 5] On the day of the company meeting, I wear a new set of shirt and matching pants.

A casual set-up combining a shirt with suit trousers offers a more relaxed feel than a suit and pairs well with a skipper polo shirt. Its sophisticated look is perfect for the office.
