Chiaki Shimizu

Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building Assistant Buyer for Men's Accessories

I joined the company in 2018. For the first three years after joining, I worked in sales of dress shirts and ties, and last year I was in charge of online sales. Since April of this year, I have been working hard every day in my current position to convey the appeal of men's accessories to our customers.

Mayo Ogura

Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building Media Planning Assistant Manager

A woman with a distinctly tomboyish style, working at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . She has been in her current position for the past two years, and works tirelessly every day to convey the charm of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building to as many customers as possible. She also boasts that she could eat Chinese food every day without getting tired of it.

Kaori Masuko

Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building Category Specialist

Joined Mitsukoshi Isetan in 2008. Dedicated to business, she worked as a store stylist before becoming a category specialist this year. She holds qualifications in color analysis and body type analysis. She selects accessories to suit her own wave body type.

The most important thing about accessories is that they "make you feel good when you wear them." While it's true that you should wear what you like, if your main goal is to "attract" women, it's also true that you should consider what women prefer. Take a look at the real opinions of women who have a lot of experience with accessories!

Fashion-conscious women view men's accessory choices in this way.

Mayumi Ogura (hereinafter, Ogura) : Personally, I like delicate accessories, so I have a good impression of men who wear delicate accessories rather than bulky ones. I see it more positively than someone wearing nothing, thinking, "This person must be someone who enjoys fashion." Between gold and silver, I prefer gold. Gold gives a soft impression, while silver feels cool.

Kaori Masuko (hereinafter, Masuko): When it comes to men's accessories, wearing simple designs subtly gives a sophisticated impression. I think the important thing is "sophistication." When I'm serving customers, I look at their hands, and I think it's wonderful when they're wearing a thin bangle or something similar along with a wristwatch, as it makes their hands look beautiful and impressive.

Chiaki Shimizu (hereinafter, Shimizu): I also like men's accessories to be "simple," but in this hot weather, it's perfectly fine to enjoy wearing a thick bracelet with a T-shirt. Between gold and silver, I personally prefer silver. I think silver looks cooler than gold. Just as there are more and more cosmetic products that men and women can share, accessories with designs that can be shared are also popular.

The key is having a knack for addition and subtraction!
Women evaluate the " Isetan Men's Accessory Draft Meeting "

1. The theme is everyday life. "Styling that expresses your own opinion within simplicity."

I'm really curious about the bracelet on Ogura 's right hand (lol). Wearing the same design of cord bracelet with different colored stones is an idea I would never have thought of, and it's interesting. The ring on her left pinky finger adds an accent; it's simple but eye-catching, so I'd give it about 70 points for "likability."

The way the Masuko bracelet is styled is a fresh and unusual look. I think this kind of accessory usage would be good for a casual outfit when going out. I'd give it a 65 out of 100 on a "like" scale.

Looking at Shimizu 's hands alone, it's a very unique way of putting things together. If the outfit is simple, the eyes will naturally be drawn to the hands. Right now, I'd like to see him pair it with a T-shirt. My "liking score" is 70 points.

2. "A simple yet sophisticated Precious Summer" inspired by Italians.

I love the simple, summery feel of Ogura 's design. A single bangle can feel a little plain, but combining gold and silver is a new discovery. Usually, people stick to one or the other, but this combination gives off a stylish image. I'd give it a perfect 100 points.

I like Masuko 's style too. I'd give it a 120 out of 100 (laughs). Gold alone can look a bit flashy, but the silver balances it out nicely, giving it a sophisticated, mature masculine charm. The ring on his little finger is also a simple design, creating a refined look for his hands.

Shimizu's "likability score" is 95 points. I really like this outfit. Both the right and left hands are simple yet have a strong presence, and the use of two colors, gold and silver, in the bangle shows the wearer's good taste.

3. Focusing on silver, "Enjoy layering with delicate motifs."

Ogura went all-in with just his right hand (laughs). The silver color scheme is consistent, and the voluminous ring on his middle finger and the delicate ring on his little finger create an interesting balance. It feels fresh and professional. I'd give it an 80 out of 100 for "personal preference."

Masuko's look is sharp yet stylish. She's managed to pull off a combination that's usually difficult to coordinate, giving the impression that she loves accessories. I'd give it an 80 out of 100 for personal preference.

Shimizu : "I'd rate it 80 points. I'm curious about the left hand (laughs). The combination on the right hand alone is very nice, but it might also look good if the ring on the middle finger were moved to the left hand. I also think the bangle design is unique and nice."

I've found the perfect accessory for your significant other, such as your lover or spouse!

Men's accessories make the perfect gift to choose together while having fun (Ogura)

Ogura: I often wear men's items on a regular basis, so I frequently check out men's accessories. When I see men who wear rings, bangles, necklaces, etc. well, I think, "They really pay attention to that much detail."

Accessories make great gifts, but since people have different preferences for design and color, and rings come in different sizes, I like to go shopping with the person I'm giving them to. I want them to wear the gift every day, and it's fun to shop while chatting.

Sharing accessories with men is quite common these days. I also borrow clothes from my brother, and I really like that both clothes and accessories can be worn in a gender-neutral way. Accessories are very effective items if they complement your style.
If I had to choose one, it would be the Fantastic Man bangle (pictured). I like the warm gold color.

Accessories are one way to express yourself outside of fashion (Masuko)

When female customers at Masuko ask me, "I want to give a gift to a man, but I've already given him the usual leather goods and ties, so what would you recommend?", I recommend accessories. Rings come in different sizes, so plain bangles, bracelets, and necklaces are always appreciated. The Mars bracelet (pictured on the right) is easy to wear and highly recommended.

Men's accessories often feature simple designs and are of high quality, so many women who prefer simple designs over flashy ones shop at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . We also frequently see couples visiting the store and purchasing necklaces, bracelets, and other items to share.

TOMWOOD is by far the most popular accessory brand. It has many fans, both male and female (Shimizu).

The accessories section on the first floor of the Shimizu Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , carries about 15 brands, but TOMWOOD is particularly popular. Many female customers buy TOMWOOD for themselves, and the number of people coming to Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building after seeing it on social media is also increasing. Its simple designs and wide variety of styles and sizes contribute to its popularity. It's also popular with couples. My personal favorite is the open ring (pictured left). Its open design prevents it from looking bulky.

TIKASHI is a popular domestic brand. Many of their designs pair well with suits, making them ideal for businessmen. For a wide variety of choices, I recommend brands like Sympathy of Soul.

We're seeing an increase in couples coming in and buying nice items to share. We often see women buying accessories for themselves while their partners are shopping for gifts for their boyfriends. New autumn/winter items will be arriving soon, so please come visit our store.
