Hello. This is Lazio, an original goods manufacturer based in Shibuya, Tokyo.
With autumn's arrival comes a fashion style that suits mature men over 45 especially well. It's the “cool older guy” fashion that embraces not youthfulness, but a “brick-like depth.” It's a style that naturally exudes the composure born from respecting the passage of time and a refined sense of aesthetics.
Though I'm over 60 myself, I aim to maintain a sense of style that suits me, always keeping an eye on aesthetics while maintaining a clean look.
I hope to spark even a little interest in fashion for you all, so this time I'd like to share a few thoughts on coordination.
① Savor High-Quality Basics
Subdued navy or charcoal gray jackets are staples for the cool older guy. This aligns with Laziojp's spirit of “True SIN. Being Authentic.” Prioritizing fabric thickness and suppleness, choose wool-blend jackets or tailored pieces with stretch. These gain character with wear, enhancing both appearance and comfort.
② Subtly Play with Color in Layers
Lightly incorporate autumnal hues like bordeaux or mustard through knitwear or shirts. This adds a touch of playful warmth to a composed look. Incorporating seasonal tones without being too flashy creates an eye-catching focal point.
③ Harmonize Dressiness and Casualness Just Right
For example, pair slim chinos or high-quality denim with sophisticated suede shoes or leather sneakers for a skillfully balanced look. This blend of relaxed and polished embodies the duality of the “cool older guy”—calmness and approachability.
④ A suit set for gentlemanly refinement
Pairing a navy suit set with a white shirt or T-shirt instantly creates a gentlemanly aura. The key to a smart impression is choosing a just-right fit. Add loafers or dress shoes for a stylish touch, creating a light-footed look that reflects your current mood.
⑤ Assert “Quality” with Knits and Shirts
Items that convey rich texture, like thick knits or corduroy shirts, make a statement without flashy embellishments. Pair them with wool pants or a soft-touch scarf to exude a gentle charm and personal flair.
Fall 2025 is the season when the “cool older guy” style truly shines. Honoring tradition and authenticity while naturally expressing mature composure and warmth through personal color and material choices—isn't that the essence of true cool?
We present this with the hope that our readers will also enjoy “fashion that savors the present while cherishing inherited aesthetic sensibilities.” May a gentle glow softly illuminate your everyday life from here on out.
