Hello. This is Lazio, an original goods manufacturer based in Shibuya, Tokyo.
With the intense heat continuing day after day, I'd like to share a few styling tips I keep in mind.
For the scorching heat of 2025 beating down from morning, I've focused on “lightness” and “sweat management.”
First, I make high-back T-shirts the centerpiece to minimize sweat stains on my back.
Just having a higher collar at the back significantly reduces that moment of anxiety when you take off your jacket.
I recommend white. The key is its high brightness, which reflects light.
For bottoms, I choose based on the balance of breathability and drape.
Seersucker, tropical wool, or tech trousers with stretch blend keep the back of your knees from feeling sticky even when seated.
Keep the length just above the knee. For footwear, opt for lightweight leather sneakers or loafers with breathable soles.
For business, carry a lightweight unstructured jacket over your shoulder.
Simply drape it over your shoulders before meetings to maintain a polished impression. Coordinating your shoes and watch strap in the same color family creates a cool, cohesive look.
For leisure, pair the same high-back T-shirt with a cap, lightweight shorts, and a water-repellent sling bag. Adding a parasol and cooling towel significantly lowers your perceived temperature while moving.
A single spritz of citrus fragrance keeps you feeling fresh longer.
Finally, stay hydrated, replenish salts, and rest “frequently.” Keep your attire light and your movements relaxed. Don't let the heat defeat you—maintain your own refined elegance. That's my summer dressing philosophy.
