The Smart Ceremony Style: Blending Celebration with Daily Life
The core concept of this collection is a “smart ceremony style” that moves beyond single-use occasion wear. The brand aims for garments to be cherished and integrated into daily life after the main event. This approach is particularly evident in the women’s line, which prominently features trendy gilets alongside other items perfect for both work and leisure.
Women’s Collection: Gilets Take Center Stage
The collection introduces gilets as a fresh, elegant alternative to traditional jackets. One standout piece is a rich tweed gilet, woven with threads of varying thicknesses, offering a refined look that rivals a classic blazer. Its sleek, collarless design allows for diverse styling, from pairing with a delicate frill blouse to adding a corsage, creating an instantly more festive feel.
For a more relaxed vibe, the gilet can be transformed by simply changing the inner layer. Imagine it over a sharp chambray shirt, with a high-neck top peeking through, for a casually sophisticated ensemble. The subtle accent of matte metal buttons adds to its understated charm.
Beyond gilets, the collection offers updated formal styles with relaxed silhouettes that flatter the body. A blouse with pearl-embellished cuffs and wide-leg pants with a beautiful drape exemplify the luxurious details. These matching pieces, or “cassette clothes” as they are sometimes called in Japan, are designed to be foundational wardrobe staples, offering both elegance and ease.
For those seeking a fresh take on the classic jacket look, a light grey ensemble with a relaxed fit offers a spring-like lightness without being overly formal. Paired with a charming shirring blouse in a cool tone, it strikes a perfect balance—ideal for busy parents transitioning from a ceremony to work.
Family Coordination: Harmonious Styles for Special Moments
COMME CA ISM also highlights family coordination, ensuring everyone looks their best for special events. For a classic “Hare no Hi” look, families can opt for matching jacket styles: a white tweed jacket for mother and daughter, and navy suits with coordinated ties for father and son. Linking elements across outfits creates a beautifully balanced and memorable aesthetic.
Another family option focuses on a sophisticated palette of deep navy and black, enhancing a sense of unity. Textural depth is added through details like a glen check pattern on the daughter’s dress and a tweed jacket for the mother. Interestingly, the son’s collarless jacket also comes in an adult size, allowing for matching father-son styles.
For families seeking a touch of individuality, the kids’ outfits offer charming personality. A smart look featuring a green vest for a boy, or a chic collared dress for a girl, can make children’s fashion as stylish as the adults’. For fathers who prefer a more casual yet refined approach, a collarless jacket paired with a band-collar shirt achieves both cleanliness and formality.
