Hitoshi Matsumoto, Sanma Akashiya…… successful comedians gather to find out who has the No. 1 “sense of personal style”? Active stylists give their dry opinions.

Popular comedians are often approached by fans on the street.
To be fashionable, you need not only the brand of the items you wear,
but also a sense of style and size.
It is not just a matter of spending money.

Winter is a busy season for comedians, with “M-1” and special programs on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. It would seem that the best-selling comedians in particular don’t have time to worry about dressing up. ……

In fact, the busier the life of a successful comedian, the more fashionable he or she tends to be. When they have their own shows or become MCs, they have opportunities to meet with TV executives and popular personalities other than comedians, so they tend to pay more attention to their appearance. Many of them buy the private-style outfits they wear on the show as they are,” said a working stylist.

Big-name comedians

Downtown Hitoshi Matsumoto (60)
Dining at a cafe

Stylishness ★★★

Typical of the phenomenon that a simple outfit can look all at once tacky depending on the shoes. People who want to emphasize their muscles are particular about the silhouette of their tops and pants, but neglect shoes.

Takaaki Ishibashi, 62, of Tunnels
Carrying luggage in preparation for golf the next day

Fashionable level: ★★★★★

There are no overtly brand-name items, and everything is in good size. This is the fashionable style of an adult who does not force himself to dress young. If you straighten your back, I think you will look more sophisticated.

Takashi Okamura, 53, Ninety-Nine
From barber to esthetician

Stylishness: ★★★★

Sporty clothes suit his petite figure, but if he wears them all over his body, he looks young. Short jackets and other items with a mature, sexy look are recommended.

He also says that fashion trends change with each age group.

The bigwigs are conservative enough to drop by high-end stores, while most comedians in their 40s and 50s are American casual wear enthusiasts. This is probably due to the influence of “Downtown” and “Tunnels. On the other hand, comedians in their 20s and 30s are more sensitive to the latest fashion trends, perhaps due to the trend of comedians becoming idols.

Okamura of “Nai-Nai,” who often goes out with his male friends for drinks, is a fan of high-brand sportswear that is easy to move around in, and Un-jash’s Watabe, who was under house arrest at the time, has become more casual in his personal clothing.

Mid-career comedians

Chidori Daigo (43)
Drinking with Tsuda & Kana Kurashina

Fashionable ★★★★★

Using white and bringing the center of gravity to the upper body and feet makes the legs look shapely. The cap and scajan are probably a nod to his mentor, Ken Shimura.

Audrey Masayasu Wakabayashi (45)
Going for a walk on a holiday

Fashionable ★★★★

This style was influenced by rappers such as Eminem and “Schadaraparr. He wears crisp denim rather than vintage clothes, which is rare among comedians in the MC business!

Ryota Yamasato (46), Nankai Candies
Dining with a couple

Stylishness ★★★★★

He has become more sophisticated since getting married!　He dresses with overall balance in mind, but I wish he would be a little more confident and take on the challenge of being as unique and fashionable as his wife Yu Aoi!

Dian Atsuhiro Tsuda (47)
Drinking with Daigo & Kana Kurashina

Fashionable ★★★★

Clothes are not the right size. It looks like a ronin student in the early Heisei era. There is no strength or weakness in the color or silhouette, making you look like a diminutive person. Please wear a hat at least because the head area is lonely.

Audrey Toshiaki Kasuga (44)
Went to visit his wife.

Fashionable

He is not fashionable enough to be arrested by the police. He is extremely thrifty, so he probably doesn’t care about his clothes. It is also surprising that he hides his face. With this outfit, there is no need to worry about cheating on her. ……

Kamaitachi Kenji Yamauchi (42)
Shopping after work

Stylishness ★★★

The silhouette is ◎, but the brand logos all over it give it a mature and vulgar look. Even his mask and other accessories are high-brand sportswear, revealing his perfectionist personality.

female comedian

Hiccorohee, 34
Tired and shopping

Stylishness ★★★★

The high-waisted pants that make use of her height are nice, but too plain and safe. An elegant atmosphere suits her, and I would like to see her change her accessories to larger ones.

Yasuko (25)
Moving on to the next site

Fashionable level ★

They are dressed like self-defense officers themselves. I like the way they pack in their favorite things, such as character elastic and DJ T-shirts. Try camouflage pants or half pants!

Lalande SAYA (27)
Shopping after work

Fashionable: ★★★★★

The boyish cuteness and old-fashioned coziness are exquisite. The fact that it’s not overly menswear-like is also a plus. The pink hair and light blue coat are an advanced color scheme!

3 o’clock heroine Maki Fukuda (35)
A handsome handsome man on a casual drinking date with Masaki Okada.

Fashionable ★★★★

The fact that she is not wearing blatant date attire is very tactful. The thick-soled shoes and striped pants have a very long leg-lengthening effect.

comedians who have done something wrong

Jungle Pocket Shinji Saito (41)
Went to a ramen shop alone

Stylishness ★★★

American casual style typical of this generation of comedians. White is an expansion color, so don’t use it where you don’t want to emphasize. This is a good opportunity to try a conservative style with a sincere image.

Un-jash Watabe Takeru (51)
Walking with his dog

Stylishness ★★★

He has changed his look from before his suspension, when he was an MC, to a more casual one. Has he shifted to clothes that are easy to move in as he lives a life centered on housework? She is halfway between wanting to dress casually and wanting to dress neatly.

TKO Takehiro Kimoto (52)
Taking a walk while under house arrest

Fashionable level ★

It’s fine that he likes American casual, but the Yale University college sweatshirt on top is a bit inappropriate for his age. The brand name “FAT” on his feet looks like a literal translation of “fat.

FUJIWARA Toshifumi Fujimoto (52)
After work

Fashionable ★★★★

Mr. Fujimoto, who is well-dressed and has beautiful legs, has a foreign body type. The style of bringing the center of gravity to the upper half of the body is ◎ If the pattern of the T-shirt has a big point, it would be a hundred points!
