"COMME des GARCONS HOMME DEUX" 97AW Pinstripe classic set up

With “rebellious spirit” and “things you have never seen” as its concepts, it has released many designs that overturn the fixed notions of fashion—specializing in the reconstruction of dresses and jackets, three-dimensional cutwork, and more.

COMME des GARCONS

From HOMME DEUX, we would like to introduce a valuable piece.

In crisp, poised wool fabric, fine pinstripes quietly run through, creating a gentle coexistence of the neatness of the 1990s and the “sense of unease lurking in everyday life” that is distinctively Garçon. This is just such a remarkable piece.

The jacket is designed with a slightly wider notch lapel, leaving space in the V zone. With a calm two-button front placement, the silhouette is nicely shaped from the chest to the waist, and the shoulders are given an appropriate sense of structure—resulting in an appearance that makes your posture naturally straighten.

At the waist, flap pockets are placed; the chest features box pockets to keep the front lines orderly; and the three buttons at the cuffs add a restrained rhythm. The design can be said to deliver visual lightness while still preserving a classic construction. The fabric is woven with fine yarns for a tightly knit feel; the surface is smooth, yet has a substantial drape thanks to its inner structure. The fully lined, smooth slip makes putting on and taking off comfortable, and it is also a joy that even during long hours of wear, stress around the shoulders is less likely to linger.

The trousers have a slightly higher waist. By adding deep tucks to both sides of the front panel, there is extra ease around the waist. A tapered silhouette that gently narrows from the thigh to the knee shows the drape beautifully when walking. The crease falls straight, and when it aligns with the vertical lines of the pinstripes, the leg line appears clean and streamlined. Belt loops and the hidden-button placket help maintain the overall neatness of the styling. Without disrupting the balance expected of a suit, this design creates a “subtle sense of misalignment” through the distribution of volume and slight adjustments of the lines—making it an added value that clearly reflects the 97AW sensibility of HOMME DEUX.

As a MOOD, it is ideal for those who want to wear a single piece from work through to after-hours, and for anyone who wishes to wrap themselves in a modern atmosphere while keeping the classic structure regardless of gender. The contrast between the straight pinstripes and the soft drape is an appealing point that allows a quiet, alluring mood to be integrated into everyday life, we believe.

For styling, if you wear it as a suit, pair a clean collar shirt with a knit tie, and match the lines with leather shoes with inner lacing. This will make the crispness of the pinstripes stand out. Next, for wearing the jacket alone, combine a smooth mock-neck knit with wool trousers in a wide silhouette, and emphasize the contrast between the structured feeling at the shoulders and the drape of the body. This creates a sense of mode “space,” helping the look feel attuned to today’s atmosphere. Furthermore, by styling the trousers with a band-collar shirt and an open-front gilet, then organizing the lines with a belt that makes the waist appear higher, you can complete an urban balance that comes together in a genderless manner. In all cases, finishing with dress-leaning leather at the feet helps keep the suit’s tension nicely in check.

Please take this opportunity.
