Translation from a Fashion Magazine.

[RichMusic81]

Hi all,

A friend of mine once appeared in a Japanese magazine and has never found out the meaning of the accomanying sentence to the picture.
I have been studying Japanese this year and know the words but can't quite get the actual meaning of the sentence.
Here it is:

これもレディスで、ジャストにはくのがテクなのた.

I've got something along the lines of 'this is also for ladies', but am having trouble with the second sentence.

ジィスト I can only find out is 'just', which I presume refers to a clothing company perhaps, and テクwhich means 'tech'. It's the bits in between I having trouble with.

Thanks,
Rich.

ジャストに is an adverbial phrase, meaning "(to wear) correctly fitted one (i.e., not loosely or over tight)" or "(to wear pants) properly around the waist (i.e., not hanging downwards)" here, and not a company name.

I never would have guessed what ジャスト meant. (I hate 外来語).

 

[Toritoribe]

Yeah, it's confusing, indeed. Probably these are originally from ジャストサイズの(just fitted), ジャストの位置で(just in the (proper/correct) position) or like that.

I'm with Mike on this one.

 

[Mike Cash]

If they mean 適切な位置 then I wish they'd just say 適切な位置 !

 

[Glenn]

Amen! ------
