HERMESBasic coordination is "subtraction" ｜ Decide on one main character
「HERMESMany people worry that they need to prepare special clothes that fit, but there is no need to do that.HERMESThis code works better if you think of it as subtraction instead of addition.
The reason is simple: the bag itself has a high level of perfection. The more you decorate the area, the more your bag will end up looking cluttered. There are three basic ideas:
- Focus on one bag as the main character:Do not compete with large accessories or patterned clothes.
- Organize your clothes in basic colors:Based on white, black, beige, and navy
- match the quality of the material: Clean clothes are easier to match with the bag.
A white shirt, beige pants, and simple pumps and loafers on her feet. That's all,HERMESThe bag is enough to take center stage. If you don't think too much about it, just keep in mind that you want to create a background that complements your bag, your outfit will become much more sophisticated.
[Buyer Kougen comment]
``Even at our store in Ginza, people often ask us, ``What kind of clothes should I match this with?'' What I always tell them is, ``It's okay to wear your usual clothes.''HERMESis not a bag with a strong statement, but a tool that enhances the person who carries it. It will look much nicer if you blend it into simple everyday clothes rather than a special outfit that puts a lot of effort into it.''

HERMESColor matching tips to make your outfit look classy
How you match colors greatly affects the impression of your outfit. It may seem difficult, but the idea you need to keep in mind is very simple.
The standard color is “to match the color of your clothes”
Standard colors such as black, etupe, and gold (bright brown) are versatile and go well with any outfit. By using a tone similar to your clothes, the whole look will be elegant and calm. When in doubt, choose a standard color and you will never go wrong. For those who want to use it every day, this direction is safe.
Only one bright color is available as an “indicating color”
Vibrant colors such as red, blue, and orange will be the focal point of your outfit. Pairing it with simple clothes such as white, beige, or navy will make the bag stand out. The key is to focus on one bag with a bright color. It will look more mature if you don't add too much color to your clothes or accessories.
When in doubt, "match the brightness of your clothes and bag"
If you are not confident in choosing colors, the trick is to match the brightness. Light colored bags for bright clothes, dark colored bags for subdued clothes. Just by matching the tone, you can create a sense of unity throughout.

[Buyer Kougen comment]
"If you're choosing the first color, I recommend classic colors such as Etoupe or black. However, one of the best parts of vintage is being able to come across discontinued colors that are no longer produced. When it comes to second and third colors, many people want to enjoy bright colors as accent colors. The Ginza store has colors that are not currently available, so please come and see the colors in real life."

In addition to the bag itself, you can expand the range of your outfits by adding accessories.HERMESWe have a wide selection of famous accessories that will elevate your outfit.
Twilly | Change the look by wrapping it around the handle
A twilly is a long, thin scarf that you wrap around the handle of your bag. Simply wrapping it will soften the impression of the bag and add a touch of elegance. It also has a practical role in preventing scratches and color transfer on the handle. You can enjoy different expressions even with the same bag by changing it according to the season or mood.

Beginners tend to do thisHERMES Coordination mistakes and how to avoid them
Finally, I would like to introduce three points that beginners tend to stumble upon. Just knowing this will greatly improve the quality of your coordination.
Mistake 1: Covering your entire body with luxury brands
If you buy bags, shoes, and accessories from high-end brands, it can end up looking heavy and overpowering. It will look more sophisticated if you focus on one bag as the focal point and keep everything else simple.
Mistake 2: Bag and clothes don't match
Clothes that are too rough, like loungewear, and neatKellyIf you put them together, it tends to give a discordant impression. If you gently match the class of your clothes to the atmosphere of the bag, it will come together naturally.
Mistake 3: Including too many colors and patterns
Pairing a brightly colored bag with patterned clothes or flashy accessories will draw attention away. The more you choose a bag with a strong statement, the more simple your clothes will be.
