--A Letter from a Concerned Customer--
"What should I wear to a casual dinner party?"

"I've been getting a lot of invitations to dinner lately. I've been getting invitations from family, friends, and even my boss at work, and since this is one of the few opportunities I have, I'm going somewhere a little pricey. A suit would be too formal, and everyday clothes would be too casual... What should I wear in a situation like this?"


LOOK.1: Basic formal attire for a family dinner party

Shirt (¥28,600/TICCA), skirt (¥53,900/AKIRA NAKA), bag (¥49,500/FURLA), shoes (¥52,800/PELLICO), earrings (¥28,380/Siena Rosé), necklace (¥44,000/BORORO), ring on right hand (¥47,300/EM), ring on left hand (¥38,500/Kaoru)

As we get older, the number of family meals together likely decreases, whether it's because we've moved out of our parents' home or are busy with work even if we're still living together. That's why you want to wear clothes that make you look great every time. So, first of all, the basic outfit I would recommend for formal occasions is a clean white shirt. Some people may be worried that it will look too stiff, but pulling the back of the shirt collar down a little to create a "unbuttoned collar" will give it a more casual, sophisticated look. This time, I paired it with a glossy pleated skirt. It pairs well with a wide range of tops, such as t-shirts and hoodies, so it's versatile and versatile, and its stylish design will make any outfit look cool. This is sure to be a staple in your wardrobe, so if you don't have one yet, why not try buying one?


LOOK.2: A relaxing day off with girlfriends

Dress (¥53,900/Mame Kurogouchi), bag (¥23,100/FARRAH+SLOANE), shoes (¥52,800/Pellico), necklace (¥59,400/Ete More), earrings (¥30,800), right index finger ring (¥38,500), right ring finger ring (¥30,800) / all by Kaoru

When you're dining with close female friends, you want to enjoy your favorite fashion without being influenced by the other person. So why not try a more stylish look? Our top recommendation is a floral print dress from Tokyo's iconic brand, Mame Kurogouchi. This beautifully draped piece features a pale floral print with black accents for a feminine touch. Pair it with crimson stiletto heels and a long-legged fringe bag, like the model in the photo, for a more ladylike look. If you have long hair, wearing it up will add a touch of sexiness, so we recommend keeping your face neat and tidy.


LOOK.3 After-work Dinner

Jacket (97,900 yen/Cyclas), knit (86,900 yen/Cyclas), pants (94,600 yen/Cyclas), bag (74,800 yen/Hirofu), shoes (59,400 yen/Pellico), scarf (13,200 yen/manipuri), earrings (91,300 yen/Hirotaka), necklace (59,400 yen/Ete More), Ring (¥60,500/Bororo) If you're a working woman, you're likely to have a business dinner at least once a month. While you want to make a good impression, many of you probably find it a hassle to carry a change of clothes to work. For those of you in this situation, we recommend changing the accessories you wear at work and at home. For example, simply switch from stud earrings to larger hoop earrings. This will instantly elevate your look without changing your outfit. Also, pay attention to the thickness of your accessories. Thin ones are more feminine, while wide ones are more edgy. Therefore, if you want to maintain a refined impression at the office, we recommend delicate designs. They add a sophisticated touch and subtly elevate your style.
