Originally, cycling to work was a way to combat a lack of exercise, but with changing societal trends, it seems that the number of businessmen commuting by bicycle has surged as they want to avoid crowded public transportation. Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building in addition to essential items like backpacks and shoes, inquiries about bicycle commuting fashion have also increased. Comfort and ease of movement, along with a high-quality look suitable for business, are key requirements. Yusuke Tadano, category specialist at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building will explain how to achieve this.

A functional, activewear-ready set-up with stretch and water-repellent properties.

A suit set is an essential part of business attire. Both the jacket and trousers are made from a stretchy polyurethane blend fabric, but the high-quality wool base gives them the look of a classic suit. The water-repellent properties make them suitable for light rain. The trousers have a relaxed fit around the thighs, but the well-defined tapered silhouette gives them a stylish look perfect for urban cycling commutes.

The jacket's lining is made of breathable mesh material. The large zippered pockets prevent items from falling out even when you're moving around, making it ideal for cycling commutes. The material is also wrinkle-resistant, so you can easily roll up the jacket and store it in your backpack when commuting.

Traiano is a brand with a background in sports fabric manufacturing. While it looks like a regular dress shirt, it boasts excellent stretchability, almost like a cut-and-sew garment. The stripe pattern is created using high-precision 3D digital printing, effectively recreating the feel of cotton.

For sneakers that are suitable for both business attire and active movement, Cole Haan is highly recommended. The leather upper matches well with smart suit styles, and above all, they are lightweight. The rubber sole provides excellent grip and cushioning.

A jacket and pants style that looks like a dress but feels light and comfortable to wear.

For business meetings, dining at restaurants, and the essential comfort of cycling to work, I highly recommend the jacket and pants style from RING JACKET . The jacket is the best-selling "Balloon" model, made of elegant wool with natural stretch. It's as light and comfortable as a cardigan, allowing for easy movement, and the structured silhouette, characteristic of RING JACKET gives it a high-quality look.

The jacket has a cool, smooth feel. The design doesn't have buttons at the cuffs, so you can roll up the sleeves for a more casual and sophisticated look.

Business-appropriate trousers often have a stiff silhouette, and the tightness around the waist can be surprisingly bothersome when you're on a saddle. A drawstring type that doesn't require a belt allows for a more relaxed fit.

ZANONE 's knit polo shirt features a high-density knit fabric, and despite being 100% cotton, it has a crisp, smooth texture and a cool feel against the skin. It's ideal for cycling commutes during warmer seasons. The slim fit, three-button neck design, and small collar give it an elegant look, making it suitable for business settings.

This backpack is designed for the modern business style. Its minimalist design and multiple pockets allow for smart organization of small items, including a laptop and water bottle. Furthermore, it's made of coated, abrasion-resistant nylon, making it suitable for use even in rainy weather.

A glossy jersey set-up that exudes business-appropriate sophistication.

The popular jersey set-up from CIRCOLO 1901 is lightweight and comfortable, with stretchy material that doesn't restrict movement, making it ideal for cycling commutes. Although it's made of a casual cotton and polyurethane blend, the mercerized finish gives it a beautiful sheen, and the slightly wider lapels give it a less sporty look than typical jersey sets. It exudes a refined elegance that makes it suitable for business settings as well.

Since CIRCOLO 1901 set has a soft feel, we recommend pairing it with an inner layer that also has a natural feel. The Buffy sweater is 100% cotton. As expected of a natural material, it has a rich texture, and the fine gauge knit gives it just the right amount of dressiness.

CIRCOLO 1901 also offers a parka made from the same material as the jacket and pants. Since both are mercerized, the texture of the material is consistent and well-balanced when coordinated with the pants. You can enjoy a style where you wear the jacket for work and the parka for your leisure time.

This backpack is a joint development between Isetan Shinjuku Store and master-piece . We interviewed customers at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building about the features they wanted in a backpack, and then commissioned master-piece to create it. It has an interior that can store a laptop, and the shoulder straps have pockets for storing wireless earphones. The snap-fastened section on the exterior can be removed and used as a separate pouch, which is also convenient for storing masks.

A comfortable, stretchy set-up perfect for both cycling to work and remote work.

This is a set-up from MACKINTOSH LONDON 's "Flex Jersey Series." Made from a cotton and polyester blend, the combination of a slightly boxy jacket and comfortably loose pants offers a relaxed fit and is becoming increasingly popular as a remote work style. Its exceptional stretchiness makes it an ideal set-up for bicycle commuting.

The sleeves are a straight, buttonless design. A hidden playful detail is that the brand logo is revealed when you fold them back. When cycling, rolling up the sleeves enhances the agile feel and also adds a design accent.

The Cohen knit T-shirt I chose as an inner layer has a refreshing feel thanks to its cotton base, but the crisp texture of the nylon blend material and the ribbed neckline and cuffs give it a sporty look.

MACKINTOSH LONDON 's "Flex Jersey" pants have a relaxed silhouette, so pairing them with sneakers that have a voluminous design creates a well-balanced look. The upper is made of highly durable CORDURA® nylon, and the thick sole provides excellent cushioning. The shoelaces are adjustable with a simple tightening mechanism, so you can easily adjust the fit, and you don't have to worry about the laces coming undone while cycling.
