This summer's scorching heat is almost over, and the season for wearing fall clothes has finally arrived. Many people are probably racking their brains over what style to try this fall. Urban Closet, located on the second floor of Isetan Shinjuku Main Store, features 1970s styles, a timeless classic beloved throughout the ages. Following this trend, we'd like to introduce some fall looks based on the "Glam Garden" theme.
■What is Glam Garden?
"Glam Garden" combines glamorous and natural. The key is to coordinate outfits with details like fringe and fur, or long outerwear and wide-leg bottoms. This season's color palette centers around camel, with forest green accents, evoking the idyllic image of gardens. ■ If you're aiming for a neat and tidy "Glam Garden" style
If you're trying out a neat and tidy "Glam Garden" style, try pairing a sleeveless turtleneck (THE IRON/25,000 yen) with a fringed suede skirt (23,000 yen) from Ready for the Weekend (hereafter RFW), and layering it with a cardigan, this fall's must-have item. Cardigans, lightweight outerwear that occupies a role somewhere between a coat and a cardigan, come in a wide range of materials and details. Also not to be missed is the natural look of a fringed three-quarter sleeve blouse (MIHOKO SAITO/30,000 yen) paired with a midi-length wrap skirt (THE IRON/37,000 yen). Adding a felt hat will bring out the warmth of autumn.
Enjoy a mix of autumnal materials with this style, combining a napped high-neck sleeveless knit (SACRA/22,000 yen) with a cardigan (SACRA/29,000 yen). Adding a pearl necklace and hat creates a feminine and glamorous look. Pair it with a midi-length flared skirt for an elegant look, or with distressed denim (BLUEBIRD BOULEVARD/30,000 yen) for a more modern impression. Another feature of this style is that the impression can be completely changed by the bottoms.
■ A styling ally: a set for a 70s style
Trendy set items can also be given a 70s twist. The 3/4-sleeve blouse (RFW/23,000 yen) has fringe at the hem and is coordinated with tapered pants (RFW/19,000 yen) made from the same fabric. Made from high-quality Japanese polyester fabric, the opaque fabric has just the right amount of thickness and a feminine drape, enhancing the glamorous impression. Add a touch of style with a hat or scarf for a classic 70s look.
■Pay attention to the feather motif that symbolizes the 70s
Also noteworthy is the series that uses RFW's original feather print, inspired by the 70s. A star mark is subtly hidden in the print, giving it a rock vibe. Pair the tunic blouse (RFW/21,000 yen) with denim baggy pants (RFW/19,000 yen), a trendy item this season, to add a touch of natural garden essence.
A glamorous long skirt (RFW/23,000 yen) with an irregular hemline adds movement, styled with a glam rock-inspired collaboration T-shirt with Rita Jeans Tokyo (RITA JEANS TOKYO. x RFW/8,000 yen) and a gingham check shirt (RFW/17,000 yen), topped off with a cardigan (RFW/29,000 yen).
■Matching mother-daughter items are also a highlight
Also not to be missed is the bonded dress (TOKYO DRESS x RFW/23,000 yen) with a bird illustration print inspired by feathers, a symbol of the 1970s. The velour piping gives it an autumnal look. The print was created by illustrator Masayuki Ogisu, who is also known for his illustrations for ANASUI. The T-shirts and bonded dresses, a collaboration with Rita Jeans Tokyo, are also available in kids' sizes, making it a great way for parents and children to enjoy matching outfits together.
The glamorous style of the 70s is characterized by materials, details, and silhouette balance that anyone can try. Why not add a touch of the 70s essence to your outfits and enjoy your own autumn style?
