CARITE, a fashion sharing service run by Ginza Mitsukoshi, is a service that allows you to easily rent high-quality outfits for special occasions such as weddings and dinners using an app, which can be a bit of a hassle to buy every time.

Until now, it was a limited-time shop, but due to its popularity, it is continuing to expand! The number of items available has increased, including this season's new products, making it even easier to rent. As a follow-up to last summer's "Dressing for Adults" series, FASHION HEADLINE will be showcasing five recommended outfits for special occasions, based on five themes, using items available for rental at Qualite! 

[Tips 1] Dress up stylishly with a chic jumpsuit

This time, we're proposing outfits using a jumpsuit from Qualite's popular brand, FLICKA, to create a feminine and on-trend look!

You'll definitely want to master the formal style of wearing a "combination suit" which is both sophisticated and relaxed, and is very comfortable while still creating the latest stylish mood.

Even if you are attending an invited event such as a wedding or reception party, if you are asked to work at the reception or take snapshots at the venue, or if you are attending with children, "ease of movement while wearing it" becomes important when considering how to dress up.

In such cases, we recommend dressing up using this "jumpsuit."




What's great about this Flicka jumpsuit is that it flatters your figure while maintaining a relaxed silhouette. The lightweight material gives it an elegant look whether you're standing with your arms outstretched or crouched.

The high-waisted, wide-leg pants are sure to flatter your figure. The flared sleeves, made entirely from delicate lace, add a touch of glamour while also covering your upper arms.

It also has pockets on both sides, making it easy to casually carry essential items like your smartphone or lipstick, perfect for parties. It may seem like a small thing, but it's an important factor when choosing your clothes. I'm impressed by the details that address the concerns and wishes that any woman can relate to.

The jumpsuit is one size fits all. The length can be adjusted slightly with blousing, but this is a piece that is especially recommended for those between 160cm and 170cm tall.

Finally, check out these coordination tips to make your Flicka jumpsuit look even more stylish! 

Coordinate point note

Stylist's personal earrings featuring a profile motif

To enhance the look of your jumpsuit, it's a good idea to coordinate your hair and makeup with a casual mood! Try putting your hair up in a nuanced updo that makes the most of the airy, fluffy strands, and finishing with nude, glossy makeup for a sophisticated look. The choice of jewelry is also important. As with hair and makeup, the key to creating a modern, sophisticated look is to not go overboard with decoration. This time, we're coordinating earrings with an artsy motif depicting a person's profile with delicate lines. By boldly adding a single piece with a playful design, you can create a subtle yet stylish impression. If you want to add a little more...a simple, solid choker or hair accessory would be great.




Clutch Bag (Rental Price: ¥6,000) / Soir

While there are many simple, practical party bags available these days, we recommend choosing a mini bag with a design that will really get you in the party mood. This time, we chose a compact, clasp-closure clutch bag with a sparkling, jewelry-like closure, available for rental at "Qualite." It also comes with a chain that can be worn on the arm, so it's perfect for cocktail parties!

Next time, we'll be introducing dress-up styles for reception parties and company dinners.
