[Series] Three Different Styles! Adult Shorts Styles | "Adult Social Studies Field Trip" GUIDE by ISETAN MITSUKOSHI

We're introducing a popular video from "Adult Field Trips," a series of content available on Mitsukoshi Isetan's official YouTube channel, "GUIDE by ISETAN MITSUKOSHI"!

With June here and the weather getting quite hot, it's definitely getting too hot for long pants. The three GUIDE crew members have been thinking about wearing shorts, so they've come to the Men's Tailored Clothing section on the 5th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . They'll be getting some tips on stylish shorts looks for adults that are perfect for wearing around town.

We've selected outfits from this season's new arrivals that suit the individual personalities of these three women!

This time, the navigator guiding the three crew members in coordinating their outfits is Daisuke Iwata, assistant buyer for Men's Tailored Clothing 2 on the 5th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . Joining the crew for the first time is Okada, who will introduce shorts styles that suit the individual personalities of Tsuchiya and Tashiro.
Three different styles of shorts outfits. Be sure to take inspiration from these and try creating your own unique shorts style this summer!

[Tsuchiya] Shorts can be styled to be both active and urban, depending on how you coordinate them!

Iwata : For Tsuchiya-san, I selected PT Torino shorts, a bestseller from the 5th floor of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .

PT Trino linen blend shorts 50,600 yen

Iwata : This brand is famous for its slacks and chinos, but their shorts are also a masterpiece. They're made of a linen blend fabric with a subtle herringbone pattern. They're incredibly breathable and comfortable against the skin, offering both coolness and a sophisticated look.

Tashiro : It feels incredibly nice to the touch. It's lightweight and has a high-quality feel.

AUBERGE short-sleeved shirt 35,200 yen


Iwata : The top is a checked shirt from the Japanese brand AUBERGE . It has a wide box cut and double pockets, creating a design that is both relaxed and sophisticated.

Tsuchiya : It looks great even with the hem untucked, and the deep slit makes it easy to move around in. It's a piece that looks great in both the city and resort settings.


Tsuchiya
: My impression after trying it on is that, although it looks casual, when I wear it, I feel like I'm wearing something of very high quality. The feel against the skin and the coolness are outstanding. It would probably look good paired with low-tech sneakers or loafers.

Iwata : That's right. This time I paired it with black suede Converse sneakers, but loafers would also work. The muted colors give it a more urban feel.

[Okada] A combination of long shorts and a long-sleeved shirt. Just covering the knees instantly gives a more mature look.

Iwata : For Okada-san, I'd like a pair of slightly longer shorts. They're from the Japanese brand Tangent, and their military-inspired design is currently on trend. The wide silhouette and length that completely covers the knees make them popular with adults.

Okada
: I like the Gurkha-pant-like design. This length is great for older generations.


Camisas Manolo Blahnik "BUENAS NOCHES" shirt 51,700 yen

Iwata
: The top is a long-sleeved open-collar shirt from the Spanish brand CAMISAS MANOLO. The model name "BUENAS NOCHES" (meaning "good night" in Spanish) is a relaxed, pajama-shirt style piece. The cuffs are also shirt-style, the buttons are large, and the monochrome color scheme gives it a sophisticated look.

Tsuchiya : Shorts that cover the knees are unusual, but they give off a very mature impression. They would go well with sneakers, sandals, or even leather shoes.

Iwata : That's right. Leather shoes and loafers are also good options. Gray shorts are surprisingly uncommon, so they'll definitely help you stand out.

Okada : The balance between the long sleeves and shorts is refreshing. Rolling up the sleeves a little would also give it a relaxed feel, which is nice.

[Tashiro] Pay attention to the materials used in this high-quality shorts outfit.

Iwata : For Tashiro-san, I've chosen something a bit more niche: suede shorts from ARMA , a Dutch brand.

ARMA suede shorts 79,200 yen

Tsuchiya
: Suede shorts?! Isn't that a bit too extravagant?!

Iwata : This is a genuine product made with sheepskin. It has a proper lining, is very lightweight, and feels great against the skin. The drawstring closure adds a relaxed feel.

Tashiro : This... when you touch it, it feels incredibly high-quality. It's light and has a smooth texture.

Iwata : My top is a bandana-patterned cotton-silk shirt from NICENESS .

Tashiro: It has a glossy finish and is made of a thin, light material that is almost transparent. The sleeves are long, but they use a generous amount of fabric, creating a beautiful design that flutters in the wind.

Iwata : If you feel the shirt design is too bright, try layering it with this jacket from the French brand Chato Lufsen for an elegant and urban layered look.

Tashiro
: The texture and silhouette have a great presence. The whole outfit is unique, yet it somehow comes together!

Iwata : The jacket is made of a wool-linen blend, making it easy to wear even in spring and summer. Using a basic navy color over a large area helps to tighten up even the more flashy items.

Tashiro : This time I paired it with American plain-toe leather shoes, but loafers would probably work well too.



—All three seemed very satisfied with the materials, details, and finish.

Tashiro : Even with unique items, the combination of materials and colors can make them look much more sophisticated. Shorts are truly more complex than they seem.

Iwata : The 5th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building has a wide variety of shorts at this time of year. The selection is especially extensive from June to August, so please come and see for yourself!
