A person who looks good in unique clothing | How to start enjoying "fashion for yourself"
“Unique items seem to have a high barrier to entry.”
“I wonder if it will suit me? Can I pull it off?”
There are surprisingly many people who think that way but hesitate to reach out...
But in reality, "people who look good in unique items" are not necessarily those with special taste.
Rather, unique items are “Choosing for oneself” From the moment you can have that feeling, you will start to look good in them.
In this article, I will clearly summarize the characteristics of people who look good in unique items and tips to start "fashion for yourself" from today.
What kind of people look good in unique items?
To put it simply, people who look good in unique items are not "people who want to stand out,"
“People who can choose clothes that align with their own feelings” That's right.
For example, people who have this kind of feeling are very suited for unique items.
People who want to choose clothes based on "their own feelings" rather than "someone else's evaluation"
More than trends or the opinions of others,
“When I wear it, do I feel comfortable?”
“When I look in the mirror, does my mood lift?”
People who want to cherish that.
One-of-a-kind items are exactly the clothes that suit a “self-standard.”
② People who feel a little disappointed when they match with others
the same bag, the same clothes, the same vibe.
It's not that it's bad in itself,
“If I'm going to get something, I want it to be unique to me”
are perfect for one-of-a-kind items.
③ People who are happy when clothes have “memories” or “stories”
One-of-a-kind items have a background that mass-produced items do not.
Materials, craftsmanship, encounters.
It's not just “ordinary clothes,”
“I like the me that chose this”
The elements that make me think so increase.
Reasons for feeling that one-of-a-kind items don't suit me (almost this)
There are generally three reasons why I feel that I can't pull off one-of-a-kind items.
① Because it looks "flashy"
One-of-a-kind = Unique = Flashy
Many people have the image that comes first.
But one-of-a-kind items are not for being flashy,
“Adding depth to the atmosphere” They are also clothes for that purpose.
② Because the coordination seems difficult.
One-of-a-kind items have a sense of being the main attraction,
It's easy to feel like "I don't know how to match."
But actually, the way to match is really simple and okay.
Later, I will introduce a "no-fail style."
③ If you make a mistake, there's no replacement.
One-of-a-kind items cannot be repurchased.
That's why you become cautious.
But that caution turns into reassurance when you know the "tips for choosing."
How to enjoy "fashion for yourself" (4 easy steps)
From here on, it's a method you can start today.
Step 1: First, decide on one place you want to wear it.
If you aim for versatility right away, you'll get confused.
First, just one.
Example)
・Lunch with friends
・Travel
・A slightly nice dinner party
・Museum, theater
・It's a regular shopping day, but you want to lift your mood
When the place to wear is decided, it becomes easier to judge "too flashy/too plain."
Step 2: Just add one item to "your usual self"
It feels difficult to pull off a unique item for the whole look.
I recommend this.
Your usual clothes (basic) + one unique item。
Example)
・Black top + unique item skirt
・Denim + unique item bag
・Plain dress + unique item outerwear
・One-tone coordination + unique item accessories
Just by adding “one item,” it suddenly looks sophisticated.
Step 3: Judging what "suits you" is okay based on "mood" rather than "face"
Unique items are more about the logic of face type diagnosis than
The way your mood lifts when you wear itIt tends to become the correct answer.
・Your posture will improve a little
・You will want to look in the mirror
You will want to go outside.
When this feeling emerges, it is a sign that "it suits you."
Step 4: If in doubt, choose "main role or supporting role."
There are two types of unique items.
-
Main role type: The impression is determined by that one piece (dress, jacket, etc.)
-
Supporting role type: Elevate your usual clothes (bags, pouches, outerwear, etc.)
Beginners are less likely to fail if they start with the supporting role type first.
The coordination type to make unique items into "casual wear" (just remember this one)
If you want to incorporate unique items into your daily wear, these three are the strongest at first.
Type ①: Solid × unique item (the easiest)
Just combine with solid colors (white, black, beige, navy, etc.).
Since patterns and textures become the main focus, it comes together elegantly.
Type ②: Summarize with similar colors (looks more mature)
From the colors used in unique items, pick just one color to tie everything together.
It gives a sense of "being coordinated" and becomes much more sophisticated.
Type ③: Unify the small items (significantly reduces failures)
Align the taste of shoes, bags, and accessories.
Just by aligning this, even if the clothes are somewhat unique, they won't stand out.
Kigiku's one-of-a-kind pieces are clothes that "bring kimono patterns back to everyday life."

Kimono patterns are wonderful just to look at,
Many people feel a hurdle when it comes to "wearing it out."
That's why Kigiku retains the charm of kimono (patterns, materials, atmosphere),
As a dress, as a bag,
A shape that you can easily take anywhereI am making it that way.
One-of-a-kind pieces are not "clothes to wear on special days,"
Casual wear to organize yourselfYou can also become that.
Summary: Those who can wear one-of-a-kind pieces are "people who can choose for themselves."
People who can wear one-of-a-kind clothing are not necessarily those with good taste,
You can be someone who can make "what feels good for me" the focus.
It's okay for the first step to be small.
Add just one piece to your usual outfit.
just that alone can change fashion to be "for yourself."
If you have questions like "which one suits me?" or "I want to discuss the occasion to wear it,"
Please try to find a piece that catches your interest on the product page.
I hope you encounter a "one-of-a-kind" piece that fits into your life.
