Stylish knitwear from MOON CASTLE

Hello everyone, this is Mr. OLDMAN's Ichimura.

 

How are you spending your Golden Week?

 

The second half of the holidays is already upon us. We've been bustling with business, welcoming many visitors from far away, customers returning after several years, and those who visit every year to coincide with their homecoming.

 

Being in this line of work, I don't really get to experience long holidays, so I’m a little envious.

 

In the apparel world, almost all of our summer items have arrived, making the shop floor very lively.

 

This is one of the most rewarding times of the year for us, so please do come and visit if you have the time.

 

 

Now, let me introduce this to you today.

 

MOON CASTLE Relax Crew Neck 12,650yen

 

I mentioned this on Instagram earlier, but summer knit items from MOON CASTLE have arrived.

 

The popular "Ice Cotton" material is a wonderful fabric that feels cool to the touch and ensures a crisp, comfortable fit even during Japan's hot summers.

 

I wear it myself, and it's much cooler than wearing a regular cotton T-shirt because it allows for better airflow, and it dries quickly even if you sweat.

 

It’s an amazing material that you’ll truly get hooked on once you try it.

 

And there’s that grown-up atmosphere that only knits can provide—a certain allure or elegance that a standard cotton T-shirt just can't achieve.

€

As we get older, a T-shirt paired with casual pants doesn't always look quite right.

From our mid-30s on, wearing just a T-shirt can make us look a bit too much like a boy (haha).

 

That's when these kinds of knit T-shirts become so convenient.

 

If you don’t have one yet, I really hope you’ll take this opportunity to give it a try.

 

 

Available in four colors, all of which are appealing.

 

 

The crew neck has a comfortably relaxed fit.

 

 

The slightly narrower neckline is also quite elegant.

 

 

This mint green color is also very refreshing, cool, and genuinely great.

 

 

They have already been selling rapidly during this Golden Week.

 

People often ask me, "How should I style these?" but I recommend pairing them just like your usual T-shirts.

 

For example, in this classic style with a denim jacket and baker pants.

 

If you were wearing a pocket T-shirt underneath, it would be a standard casual look, but by switching to a knit T-shirt, you can enjoy a more sophisticated, adult atmosphere.

 

Even when you take your jacket off because it’s hot, this looks more mature than just a plain or graphic T-shirt.

 

If you want to keep it casual, that's fine, but in our 30s and 40s, it's good to have one or two outfits like this up our sleeves.

 

 

MOON CASTLE Skipper Polo Neck 13,750yen

 

Actually, I have one more thing: the Skipper Polo has also arrived.

 

It’s a highly recommended model that feels even more stylish and mature than the crew neck.

 

 

The fit is a little sharper, though don't worry, it's not tight at all.

 

 

 

The fact that it's a polo shirt without buttons is a key point.

 

Polo shirts can be quite tricky for beginners and often end up looking a bit like an "old man" style.

 

But this expertly designed skipper polo looks refined even on its own, which is great.

 

 

The hem features ribbing with light tension.

 

Thanks to this ribbing, it doesn't drape too loosely, which is very nice.

 

You can also play around with it by folding the hem inside to shorten the length.

 

 

I tried styling it like this.

 

Again, I just swapped my usual T-shirt for this skipper polo.

 

Of course, a graphic T-shirt would also look good, but it gets boring if that's all you ever wear.

 

Sometimes, when you want to enjoy a slightly more elegant, grown-up atmosphere, this is the way to go.

 

There’s no need to dress it up too formally; it’s perfectly fine to incorporate it into your usual casual style.

 

Both are truly fantastic items, so please make sure to get them.

See you again soon!
