Mix and Match #5 kotohayokozawa｜Center Cutting Rib Knit
Stripes are versatile enough for any season, but they can often lean too casual. However, with the right styling and item choices, they can achieve an elegant look and also serve as an accent in autumn/winter outfits, which tend to be dark.
This time, we will focus on the ribbed knit, which adds a striped pattern to the classic pleated tops from kotohayokozawa, a women's brand launched in 2015 by designer Kotoha Yokozawa. We will introduce striped knit coordination that achieves a trendy nuance for this year. This sweater's ribbed knit offers a three-dimensional texture, and its stretchy material fits the body, making it exceptionally comfortable. Slits at the cuffs create a feminine and beautiful silhouette, adding a touch of effortless style. Why not incorporate a striped top into your innerwear and combine it with warm items to bring out a seasonal feel and achieve a sophisticated adult look?

I styled Kotohayokozawa's casual striped sweater in a sophisticated way.
The PERVERZE jacket has an overall masculine silhouette and a relaxed fit, so it can be worn without issues even with a slightly thicker top. For the bottoms, I paired it with Levi's wide-flare jeans to avoid a too-stiff look.
On my feet, I wore Clarks black suede shoes, which are highly functional, to maintain the sophisticated vibe of the jacket!
I matched the colors of the Charlotte Chesnais earrings and Yuzefi bag for a cohesive look. How about this for a date to see the autumn leaves?☺︎
Styling By Nodoka Shibuya（169cm）
For the classic pleated top from Kotohayokozawa, since autumn and winter tend to involve dark-toned clothing, I intentionally paired it with a vibrant, vivid Aries waffle knit cardigan!
This voluminous dress from beautiful people is excellent because it can also be worn as a long skirt. The accessories are unified in silver. The star accessory is the beautifully curved ring from Charlotte Chesnais. For those who always choose dark colors every year, why not try a pop of color this year?
Styling By Miku Mano（170cm）
I paired the soft ribbed knit with a hard leather jacket for a contrasting and dynamic look. The Rokh skirt, with its playful design, adds movement and glamor. By opting for sneakers, I created an outfit that is easy for everyday wear.
The beautiful people leather jacket is a durable, high-quality piece that blocks wind, making it a classic autumn/winter item to cherish for years.
The Nike sneakers feature a silver swoosh, elevating a casual outfit with a unique twist. Please enjoy this FMN-style fusion of mode and street fashion!
