Scene 1 - Office and Cafe
Clean linen shirt, tapered pants, subtly colored sandals.
Choose calm colors for sandals, such as black or dark brown, to create a neat overall look.
Slim-silhouetted designs pair well with jackets and slacks, seamlessly transitioning from the office to an evening cafe.
“Not too casual” is a key point for wearing sandals in the city.
Scene 2 - Weekend Outing
White T-shirt, jeans, beige sandals.
Limiting colors to about three, like "white, blue, and beige," creates a simple yet cohesive impression.
Designs that expose the instep easily create a summery lightness and are well-suited for a relaxed holiday atmosphere.
On days with a lot of walking, choosing a type that firmly supports your feet will make your day much easier.
Scene 3 - Summer Festival / Pairing with Yukata
Yukata or Jinbei with natural-colored sandals.
Sandals are easier to walk in than geta, and less tiring during long festivals or firework displays.
Natural tones such as ecru, beige, and light brown pair well with Japanese traditional wear, creating a soft overall impression.
Thong-type designs are particularly easy to balance with a yukata.
How to Incorporate by Age Group
20s and 30s
Even if you play a little with colors and materials, keeping the sandals simple helps to create a cohesive look.
40s and 50s
Choosing based on calm colors will make the coordination with clothes feel natural.
It is also recommended to use several pairs as summer staples.
60s and Above
Prioritizing ease of putting on and taking off, and stable comfort, ensures comfort even during long outings.
3 Basic Principles Easy for Both Men and Women
-
Limit colors to within three
-
Choose a length that shows the ankles (for pants styles)
-
Match material textures (linen, cotton, etc.)
By keeping these three points in mind, sandals will naturally blend into your outfit.
Finally
Sandals, surprisingly, play a big role in influencing the impression of a summer outfit.
Even with simple clothing, changing your footwear can significantly alter the overall atmosphere.
At AOTOMORI, we aim to create sandals that seamlessly fit into daily life, travels, and special summer days.
