As outdoor styles extend into everyday life, they are refined into cleaner and more sophisticated styles. The freedom to move between outdoor and urban life through layering is a key feature, with designs and colors that consider this layering creating new proportions. Earthstone, orange, green, blue, and navy, commonly used in outdoor settings, are adjusted to wearable tones for easy use in daily life. 

Utility jackets and parkas are designed minimally with flat, reduced-bulk outer pockets. Creating a contrast in proportions is achieved by layering different lengths of outerwear, adjusting sleeve lengths, or layering long shirts underneath. Encouraging color blocking between items is also effective. Considering layering, lighter and thinner outerwear is preferred. As seen in the last cut (Moncler, black outer shirt), using shirt materials with enhanced insulation and trimmings as an alternative to outerwear can also be an effective approach. 

Layering for proportion play, as well as creating avant-garde forms, adds a new feel. Subtle changes, such as asymmetrically cutting the hemline or extending the back hem, are encouraged. Even ordinary silhouettes can be transformed into asymmetric shapes by adding side slits or misaligning buttons. When buttoned correctly, these designs revert to a normal silhouette, allowing personal preference in styling. Quilting can also be crafted into interesting curves, enhancing the effect of using shapes for playful designs. 

Outdoor styles are simplified and infused with new variations to create daily wear. Applying cropped lengths, creating full skirt styles, or cutting sleeves to cover the shoulders are simple ways to craft new styles. Composing them as sets to give a neat impression is also effective.
