Astoria Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, President: Yasunari Ando), which proposes elegant and feminine items perfect for commuting and outings, has announced the "Kireime (Elegant) Cut-and-Sewn" series as a new proposal for working women.
In recent years, the clothing of working women has been required to balance "looking proper" and "being comfortably worn." While there are more days when you don't want to be as formal as wearing a blouse, there are also many situations where a T-shirt is too casual, increasing the need for tops that satisfy both "ease" and "a sense of visual security" at the same time.
At Astoria Odile, featuring the elegant cut-and-sewn fabrics that the brand excels at, we developed a piece for working women that is "not as formal as a blouse, but not too casual." With a moderate fit that doesn't overly contour the body line and a design that enhances a feminine silhouette, we have finished it into an item with a presence that looks beautiful even worn alone.
For the material, we adopted a fabric that utilizes the soft touch, stretchability, and lightness unique to cut-and-sewn items.
Thanks to its smooth and light texture, it maintains a comfortable wearing feel even for long hours, while also being adaptable for styling under a jacket or outerwear, making it widely useful for work, daily life, and formal occasions.
While a survey conducted on Instagram showed a result of many preferring blouses, there was also a certain number of voices supporting cut-and-sewn fabrics. From these results, we can observe the existence of needs seeking the balance between a "proper feel" and "comfort."
Even in the upcoming long and hot season, we have finished this piece so it can be worn coolly and comfortably while naturally blending in from commuting to daily life.
As a new alternative to blouses, this is a piece that will be active as a main top for this summer.
Astoria Odile will continue to deliver products that stay close to daily life, as reliable tops that make working women feel "I'll be fine if I wear this today."
