Stylist’s profile: Sayaka Kawakami
Ms. Kawakami worked at a major financial institute before becoming a professional stylist. Her edgy, feminine coordinates, which avoid fluffy and soft elements, are immensely popular with the women of her generation. Her busy schedule sees her contributing primarily to magazines as well as e-zines.

For Summer
“Match this drape tunic to these ankle-length jeans. Even though the top has a long length that extends to conceal hips, the ankles peek out to produce a great, balanced look. The jeans’ beautiful, straight silhouette makes legs appear slender and straight, so the bottoms go great with the chunky sneakers that are in vogue.”

Featured Items
Compression high-rise skinny ankle jeans
Drape French sleeve tunic
Back pack

For Fall
“Built around the jeans’ dark indigo, this monochrome coordinate ranges from navy to blue. Create a beautiful and long “I” line silhouette with the tucked in navy top and the jeans. You’ll gain a loose, airy feel and a much more sophisticated appearance when you layer a big shirt over top in the style of a jacket.”

Featured Items
Compression high-rise skinny ankle jeans
Extra fine cotton oversize long-sleeve long shirt
UV cut Supima® cotton sleeveless sweater (out of stock)

Ultra Stretch Jeans

For Summer
“These jeans’ cut-off hems balance out the respectable feel of the item’s dark color to confer a stylish appearance. I consolidated the tops in the single color of beige. These slender jeans produce longer-, beautiful-looking legs. However, consider keeping the top half snug as well to produce an attractive, slender silhouette.”

Featured Items
Damaged ultra stretch jeans
Ribbed boat neck half-sleeve T-shirt
Light V-neck Cardigan (out of stock)

For Fall
“If you’re hesitant to try skinny silhouettes because they reveal unflattering tummy lines, then consider pairing these jeans to a dress and wearing them in the style of leggings. Thicker than leggings’, the fabric provides firmer support, so even though the jeans provide peace of mind, they also produce contrast that fosters a tighter appearance.”

Featured Items
Ultra stretch jeans
Corduroy shirt dress (Available mid- August)

High Rise Skinny Flare Ankle Jeans

For Summer
“These jeans are excellent. They flare toward the hems to bring out the delicate appearance of your ankles, and just pulling them on produces a contemporary look. These light-colored, cut-off jeans and this slightly misty blue tee form an exquisite match. Add a bit of pizzazz through chic peripherals, like silver ballet shoes, for extra style.”

Featured Items
High-rise skinny flare ankle jeans
U crew neck short-sleeve T-shirt
Cotton twill cap

For Fall
“These jeans’ flared, ankle-length design excels at producing a slightly retro feel. Add items that have a classic feel to them, like a loose orange blouse, green shoes, and a respectable faux suede shoulder bag, to create a dramatic, stylish look that’s perfect for fall.”

Featured Items
High-rise skinny flare ankle jeans
Rayon stand collar 3/4 sleeve blouse

Uniqlo U High-Rise Wide Straight Jeans

For Summer
“Just pulling on these jeans confers contemporary looks, owing to their chunky silhouette and lines that curve toward the hem. When opting for this pair, consider a dashing dark model. Emphasize the cascading silhouette by going with heeled white sandals and not rolling the cuffs. Add a summery sleeveless sweater to complete a jeans look that has a wholesome, feminine air to it.”

Featured Items
UV cut Supima® cotton sleeveless sweater (out of stock)
U wide-fit curved jeans

For Fall
“Consider a masculine arrangement when styling these jeans, which have a relaxed silhouette and are a light blue. The key is to roll back the hems and make them appear finer so as to add a feminine element. Hang a khaki brown ribbed T-shirt over your shoulders to add a sophisticated air to the casual combo of a striped tee and jeans.”

Featured Items
U wide-fit curved jeans
Striped boat neck long-sleeve T-shirt
Cotton ribbed crew neck long-sleeve T-shirt
