–SPECIAL– "Yves Saint Laurent" 00’s Tuxedo bib-front wing-collar dress shirt

Yves Saint Laurent, who has continually updated nightwear with both modish allure and refined elegance across eras, presents a special piece that sharpens the aesthetic of formal wear.

This exquisite piece translates the formal design of a wing collar and U-shaped pleated buzam, which aligns with a tuxedo, into a sharp mood characteristic of the era.

First, around the neck, there is a luxurious auxiliary material with thick shell buttons engraved with the YSL logo. When touched with fingertips, a dense luster is conveyed, subtly adding a sense of class to the base of a dress shirt. The upper part of the placket uses stud buttons, which tighten the neckline that draws attention when tied up, and the structure leaves only tension without unnecessary decoration, creating a beautiful balance.

The buzam on the chest creates shadows with delicate pleats, and by switching the outer circumference with a U-shape, it elevates the typically flat white to a three-dimensional form. When worn with a jacket, the central vertical line remains uninterrupted, neatly aligning the body's axis. The collar is a wing collar, naturally connecting to the peak lapel of a tuxedo and the bow tie, faithfully adhering to formal conventions while carrying the characteristic Yves Saint Laurent glossy tension, which is impressive.

The fabric is 100% cotton with a refined crispness and smoothness, providing a clear skin feel. The pleats of buzam are less likely to collapse, allowing the wearer to maintain a perfect posture for a long time, which is practical. Since it features double cuffs, there is room to add expression with cufflinks, subtly controlling the focus of the outfit—this resonates especially with those familiar with night styles.

Regarding the era, the main label is made of silver-gray satin weave, with a small tag at the bottom right indicating MADE IN ITALY. Additionally, since the inner tag states the domestic agent as Gucci Group Japan, it can be said to be from a period before the brand name transitioned to SAINT LAURENT PARIS and before Kering Japan's notation became common. Furthermore, as a symbol of the evening attire of this period, the wing collar with stud buttons and the U-shaped buzam are simultaneously equipped, physically supporting the early to mid-2000s atmosphere.

What is particularly noteworthy about MOOD's special collection is that this is not just a dress shirt, but it embodies the key points of redefining tuxedo style for men in the most subtle form, capturing the essence of the era. While referencing the memories of the 70s nightlife, the design language has been transformed into a modern tension by stripping down the silhouette and details, and its value lies in being perceptible within the color white, an achromatic color. The allure that rises without additional decoration is due to the pattern and choice of auxiliary materials being designed from the outset within the night context, making it a presence that plays a special role in your wardrobe.

In terms of styling, simply layering a minimalist tailored piece over a neat pair of slacks makes the shadow of buzam stand out as the main feature, creating a poised presence regardless of gender. Adding a long coat or simple leather items naturally connects Yves Saint Laurent's cultivated night aesthetic to everyday life. Without aiming for a tie-up look, it can also be styled with high-quality wool pants and an elegant jacket, making it a perfect piece for those who want to incorporate the joy of owning formal wear into their daily outfits.

Take this opportunity.
