The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about changes not only in lifestyles but also in the criteria for choosing what to wear. While more people are choosing items that provide comfort and a sense of well-being, others are facing a new problem: "I don't know how to coordinate outfits anymore."

This time, we've captured four everyday scenes and will introduce recommended styling from two brands that match a "high-quality lifestyle": MACKINTOSH LONDON and PAUL STUART .

Scene 1 |
Relaxation scenes are enhanced with high-quality materials that soothe both body and mind.

With more time spent at home, many people are likely realizing the importance of loungewear. It no longer serves only as pajamas to change into before bed, but also as clothing for relaxing during leisure time, or even as one-mile wear for quick errands. Upgrading your loungewear, which now has more points to consider than ever before, will not only reduce physical stress but also have a positive impact on your mood. Focusing on comfortable materials and silhouettes that don't look sloppy will help you create time for true relaxation.


This sweatshirt ensemble, made from high-quality materials, will satisfy even those who regularly wear fine suits. The reversible pile cotton fabric is carefully knitted using vintage knitting machines. The surface has an elegant sheen, making it perfect for casual wear as well.


The hoodie, pants, and inner sweatshirt are made from "powder sugar cotton," which is knitted slowly over time to create a slightly brushed surface, resulting in a soft and smooth texture. The vibrant pink cardigan worn over it is made from linen, which becomes more comfortable against the skin the more you wear it.

Functional items effortlessly support a new work style.

The way we work has changed dramatically in recent years. Some people work shifts and go to the office a few days a week, others continue to work completely remotely, and some have switched to commuting by bicycle. It's only natural that workwear is becoming more diverse to match the ever-diversifying ways of working. There is no longer just one optimal business style. That's why it's important to find items that suit your own work style. Functional wear that can accommodate flexible commuting, or tops designed to look good in remote meetings, workwear that matches your current mood will surely support your work.

The reason this Flex Jersey set maintains a stylish silhouette that's perfectly suited for business settings is because it's crafted using authentic tailoring techniques. By removing the interlining, it achieves freedom of movement and lightness around the shoulders, resulting in a light and airy finish that pairs perfectly with backpacks and sneakers. It's also ideal for cycling to work in the coming seasons.

This jacket style allows you to project a polished image even during remote meetings. Pairing it with a T-shirt underneath adds a touch of casualness. Made from soft cupro fabric, the set includes pants with an elastic waistband. You can easily slip on the jacket for meetings and then comfortably move on to household chores.

Vibrant colors to support an active holiday.

Holidays, which allow you to free your mind and body, are important for making the most of your weekdays. Even if you don't go to work every day, the clothes you wear can help you switch between work and leisure. By combining functionality that supports active holidays with colors that brighten your mood, your time off spent in the sun will become even more enjoyable. For those who aren't used to incorporating vivid colors into their everyday fashion, this time we'll introduce styling tips that will allow you to wear them without feeling out of place.


Add a playful touch to a classic polo shirt by pairing it with a classic herringbone knit vest and checked trousers. Matching the polo shirt's color with the check's color creates a sophisticated look despite incorporating patterns. This is a relaxed and confident outfit that only an adult can pull off.



On your days off, trying out colors you wouldn't normally wear is sure to boost your mood. Eye-catching, vivid colors are easy to incorporate into your wardrobe, especially with pants. Pairing them with a knit top that's loose in both width and length provides both ease of movement and flattery, further enhancing the relaxed mood of your day off.

For a special outing that's a treat for yourself, dress up a little more than usual.

Now that everyday activities we used to take for granted have become special occasions, going out and dining out have become rewards for ourselves, making a conscious effort to dress up a little can make the experience even more special. That doesn't mean you have to sacrifice comfort and coziness, though. Incorporate elastic-waist pants and stretchy jersey jackets into your smart casual style for going out. With versatile items that are easy to mix and match and easy to care for at home, you can enjoy fashion without hesitation.


This stylish outfit combines a comfortable, breathable basket-weave jacket, perfect for warmer weather, with a vibrant purple knit t-shirt. A neckerchief adds a touch of formality, making it suitable for a more formal restaurant setting.

For smart casual wear, a shirt jacket with a classic feel that can be worn like a shirt is a perfect match. Its lightweight, unlined construction allows for a relaxed and comfortable look.
