Backpack
I'm in the mood for something neat and tidy right now. Finish off your look with a backpack for a light and airy office style.
Backpacks have become a staple for commuters, but this season, the trend is to carry them in a more refined way. By paying a little attention to the color, material, shape, and the clothes you pair them with, you can avoid looking too casual and instantly elevate your usual style. Here are some Marunouchi-style backpack looks that seamlessly blend into your workday style.
LOOK 01
Dressing down a three-piece suit with a scarf and sneakers: "A modern, sophisticated style."
I put together a menswear-inspired three-piece suit in chic colors and wrapped a colorful scarf around my head. I added a backpack and sneakers to give it a casual touch, creating a light and balanced look that suits the current mood while still maintaining a sense of sophistication.

LOOK 02
Create a "light and breezy commute style" with smart trousers and a 2-way backpack.
I paired a collarless striped shirt with wide-leg pants that aren't too wide at the hem. The balance is relaxed yet sophisticated. The backpack is a 2-way design that can also be worn as a shoulder bag, making it convenient for commuting by train.

LOOK 06
A light, airy I-line silhouette is created with a sheer long shirt and a burgundy pencil skirt.
A long shirt paired with a burgundy-colored pencil skirt creates a slender, I-line silhouette, perfect for autumn. The sheer fabric of the shirt adds a touch of lightness, and even with a backpack, the look remains polished without being too casual. Adding a jacket gives it a sharper edge, making it a great choice for commuting.

A smart casual look combining a graphic piping shirt with denim. Layering a vest over the shirt adds depth to the upper body, preventing the denim and backpack combination from looking too casual. This is a sophisticated casual style to remember for days when you want to look polished.
