What does Yugen mean?

Yūgen (幽玄) is a Japanese aesthetic term for a subtle, deep beauty that is suggested rather than stated. In clothing it translates into restraint: good fabric, a clean cut and one detail that rewards a second look.

That is the idea behind these guides. They explain the history, the pieces and the fit, so you can choose with confidence.

What to wear to a casino night

A night at the casino usually means a loose dress code: no shorts, no loud logos, and a jacket helps. Streetwear fits in if you keep it clean. A black coach jacket or a well-cut overshirt, plain tee, straight trousers and simple leather sneakers will pass almost anywhere.

Avoid oversized graphics and heavy techwear straps; the quieter pieces from our basic guide work best.

And online casinos?
