Ageless beauty Oh Na-ra; I thought she dressed up to look younger, but she actually just wore basics… White shirt and denim outfit

Whenever I decide to dress to look younger, I always end up adding an extra layer of clothing. I feel like I need accessories, or that I should add some color... But once I've actually gotten dressed, I start taking things off one by one right at the front door. I wonder if I tried too hard. How convenient would it be if I could look fresh and effortless just wearing a white shirt and jeans like Oh Na-ra? In the end, I guess what's more important than clothes that make you look young is knowing where to let go of the effort.

A white shirt and jeans—why don't I ever wear something this common at home?

A white shirt and wide-leg denim is a combination that seems like it would be rarer for someone not to have in their wardrobe. However, when I actually wear it, it ends up being either work attire or a trip to the local grocery store. It makes me think for a long time about what the problem is.

Oh Na-ra's styling isn't too neat, starting with the shirt. She wore it slightly unbuttoned, paired with loose-fitting denim and a hat with a brim; just doing this makes her look relaxed, like someone on vacation. The jeans also look comfortable as they don't cling tightly to her legs.

These days, when I buy jeans, I sit down before I look at my thighs. Pants that only look good when you're standing in the fitting room are dangerous. If I sit down and my belly suddenly asserts its presence... well, I quietly take them off.

Semi-wide or wide denim with a fit that isn't too tight at the waist is much easier to wear all day long. As for shirts, I find myself reaching more often for lengths that are easy to tidy up slightly at the front, rather than lengths that completely cover my hips.

A pink striped shirt looks best with white pants.

The color of this shirt is really pretty. Even though it's pink, it doesn't have a bright or overly sweet feel; since it has fine stripes, it doesn't look overwhelming even when worn with white pants.

I also like having my sunglasses hanging around my neck for no particular reason. When I travel, I put them on my head, look for where I put them, put them in my bag, and then take them out again... It’s just most convenient to simply hang them like that.

However, white pants are a different problem.

It feels like there is always something on the chair only on days I wear clean pants. I take a quick wipe before sitting down, and I check the seat on the subway... Just by putting on a new outfit, I suddenly become a hygiene inspector. If pure white is too much of a burden, cream or ivory pintuck pants would be a good option. You also need to make sure to check for underwear see-through. It is just too cruel to realize it too late after going out in the sunlight.

You have to sit down, not just stand, to know how black shorts look.

An ivory knit top with black shorts, topped with a thin black cardigan. Even the Chanel bag is black, so the colors are actually simple, but the outfit isn't boring.

But when I see shorts, I think of a chair first, rather than the design.

It definitely looked fine when I was standing, you know? The problem is that the moment I sit down, it feels like the pants suddenly vanished by about 5cm. Once I start pulling them down with my hands, I end up pulling them down all day long. If the short length is too much of a burden, I think black Bermuda shorts that fall loosely above the knee would also look good. Just leave the ivory knit as is. With this setup, it shouldn't feel like I'm forcing myself to look younger.

Brown dress for a day without dinner plans...

Ah, this is pretty, but you need to be prepared.

It is a brown dress with a fitted bodice that reveals the shoulders, so it creates a sophisticated vibe the moment you put it on. With the lace details, it is quite different from an ordinary daily look.

And it’s awkward when a dinner appointment runs strangely long on a day I wear clothes like this. I sit nicely at first, but by the time dessert comes out, I gradually move further away from the backrest. Because I’m holding my stomach in...

So, I found that if I like this shade of brown, it is more realistic to wear just a part of the dress as everyday wear rather than the whole thing. A brown long skirt paired with a thin knit sweater is likely to be worn again even after it ends up in the closet. Buying clothes for a special occasion is so exciting, but they end up sitting on the hanger for far too long until the next appointment.

I opened the closet and took out the white shirt and jeans for now. But I rummaged through the top shelf trying to find my hat, and now the closet is even more of a mess... At this rate, I think giving up on finding the hat tomorrow will actually help me get to work.
