WEDNESDAY
It's the middle of the week. When it’s easy to feel stress from work, we recommend choosing clothes that are comfortable and stress-free. Here is an outfit idea of AOKI's hit item ""Pajama Suit,"" which is comfortable as a pajama and looks as solid as a suit. The lightweight seersucker keeps you cool and comfortable even in summer time. Moreover, it stretches and does not make you feel tight.
