A Gentle Coolness for Hot Days: LOFT’s Soothing Summer Items
A towering cumulonimbus cloud floats in a deep, crystal-clear blue sky. No matter how old we get, the summer sky never fails to stir our hearts. But while gazing up at that sky, sweat inevitably starts to form…
"A Spoonful of Enjoy for Your Life" is a series that delivers small yet enriching touches to make daily life more comfortable.
This time, to help you enjoy the Japanese summer a little more comfortably, we’ve asked LOFT’s PR team’s very own "Coolness Captain," Yokokawa, to share her recommended cooling and soothing items.
Cool Preparations for the Sweaty Season

On summer mornings, you’re awakened by the dazzling sunlight filtering through the curtains. Already slightly sweaty, you can’t help but feel that it’s going to be another hot day. As you slowly shake off the heaviness of sleep, you might find yourself thinking, "I really don’t feel like going out…"
That’s when a small trick to refresh your body can make all the difference.
The UV Block Sheet – Cool Type delivers a cooling and hydrating sensation. Gently wipe away sweat and your skin will feel smooth and refreshed, with a soft citrus scent lingering in the air. Since it also provides UV protection*, it’s perfect for those busy mornings when you need to get ready in a flash.

ZERO HOLE – UV Block Sheet Cool Type (20 Sheets)
*SPF25 / PA++
Keep a pack in your bag and you’ll be ready to freshen up anytime, anywhere. A reliable companion for summer, it helps you stay cool and protected from the sun on the go.

The convenience of being able to wipe away sweat and reapply sunscreen at the same time has made this item a favorite among our staff. I always carry a pack in my bag—it’s great for those moments when I just want a quick refresh while I’m out. It’s also easy to use on areas that are often overlooked when applying sunscreen, like behind the ears or on the neck.

Your makeup is done, your hair is set—all that’s left is choosing what to wear. But then comes the dilemma: the temperature swing between the hot outdoors and chilly, air-conditioned indoors. That’s where the Hinyari Shirt Shower can come in handy.
Just give your top a quick spray before heading out, and each time you sweat, a refreshing coolness spreads across your skin, helping you stay comfortable throughout the day. With this, you might even feel confident enough to throw on a long-sleeve layer without hesitation.

The most cooling version yet of the popular Shirt Shower is here. Its refreshing effect, powered by evaporative cooling and menthol, lasts for about 30 minutes to an hour. It also features deodorizing properties.
Stay Cool and Enjoy Summer Under the Sun

ELAiCE – iFan Fino Pro
Even with the best preparations, summer’s intense sun and humidity can still be overwhelming. When you find a spot of shade, it’s a good idea to take a quick break—and that’s when a handy fan becomes your gentle companion. A cool breeze around your neck can ease both body and mind.
The fan hangs around your neck and has an adjustable angle, so you can use it hands-free—perfect for wiping sweat or sipping a cold drink at the same time. Another plus: it's compact, about the size of a smartphone, making it easy to carry wherever you go.


Yokokawa
This is a 5-way model that can be used not only as a handheld or neck-hanging fan, but also as a desk fan, mobile battery, or smartphone stand—making it useful in all kinds of situations! Despite its compact size, it features four wind speed settings, so it’s also great in terms of functionality.
*On extremely hot days, the air from a handy fan may feel like hot wind. Prolonged exposure can actually raise your body temperature, so we recommend avoiding use in such conditions.

Peacock – Mini Ice Pack

In the heat of the afternoon, the breeze from a handy fan may no longer be enough. When you need to ease the heat building up inside your body, it’s time to reach for the Mini Ice Pack.
This ice pack comes in a vacuum-insulated case that helps retain the cold for hours. Simply remove it from the case and gently press it against your neck or underarms—the cooling sensation gradually spreads, bringing relief. Since it stays cold well into the evening with occasional use, it’s like a summer charm you’ll want to keep close.

The ice pack is made of silicone, so it feels gentle on the skin and is easy to clean with a quick rinse. Its pocket-sized design makes it convenient to carry around, whether you’re commuting, heading to school, or enjoying outdoor activities. It’s a versatile item that fits seamlessly into many different situations.
A Cool Moment Awaits at the End of the Day

Toyo-Sasaki Glass – Foaming Beer Glass Tumbler
Even after the sun sets, the air often holds onto the heat of the day. On such summer nights, you might find yourself craving an ice-cold beer straight from the fridge. If you're going to enjoy a drink at home, why not take a moment to upgrade your tumbler?
With the Foaming Beer Glass Tumbler, even an ordinary canned beer transforms—just pour it in, and you'll get a smooth, creamy head of foam. The frosted glass softly reveals the amber hue inside, adding a touch of cool elegance. Pair it with your favorite snack, and you’ve got the perfect way to say, "Good job today."

The frosted, textured interior of the tumbler creates just the right amount of foam when pouring beer. It also comes in a gift box, making it a great choice for a summer present.
A Gentle Coolness to Close Out the Day

Koizumi Lifetex – Yukigokochi Shirling Half Blanket
After winding down at your own pace, all that’s left is to drift off to sleep. While air conditioning can help cool the room, why not let your bedding bring the coolness instead?
True to its name, Yukigokochi—meaning "the feeling of snow"—offers a smooth, pleasant texture that gently envelops you like freshly fallen snow. With its light chill and soft touch, it invites you into a peaceful, restful sleep.

Yokokawa
The fabric has a cool-to-the-touch finish, making it pleasantly refreshing. The fine shirring knit design allows air to circulate easily, adding to the smooth, dry feel against the skin. With its simple, natural color options, it also blends effortlessly into any interior décor.
From getting ready in the morning to taking a break while you’re out, and winding down at night—summer brings high heat and humidity, making it all the more important to stay comfortable by adding small touches of coolness throughout your day.
At your own pace, may you savor the fleeting views and sensations, and spend each summer day feeling at ease.
"A Spoonful of Enjoy for Your Life" will continue to share little comforts that gently enrich your daily moments.
See you next time.
