Wearing article

1. A wearing article having a vertical direction, a lateral direction, a skin-facing surface and a non-skin-facing surface and including a first waist region as one of front and rear waist regions, a second waist region as the other thereof, a crotch region extending between the first and second waist regions and a liquid-absorbent core located at least in the crotch region within a range defined by the first and second waist regions and the crotch region, wherein:

the first waist region includes an outer layer sheet on the non-skin-facing surface, an inner layer sheet on the inner side compared to the outer layer sheet and an interlayer sheet interlaid between the inner and outer layer sheets and having a decorative element being visually recognizable from the non-skin-facing surface side of the outer layer sheet;

the outer layer sheet is nonwoven fabrics formed from crimped conjugated fibers; and

a brightness value of the inner layer sheet is higher than a brightness value of the outer layer sheet.

2. The wearing article according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first waist region has a central region in which the liquid-absorbent core is located and both lateral regions defined outside the central region as viewed in the lateral direction; and

the brightness value of the lateral regions is 55 or higher.

3. The wearing article according to claim 1 , wherein the outer layer sheet has a mass per unit area ranging from 20 to 30 g/m 2 , a fineness ranging from 1.0 to 8.0 dtex, a thickness dimension ranging from 0.15 to 1.5 mm, and a brightness value ranging from 40 to 50.

4. The wearing article according claim 1 , wherein the outer layer sheet is not elastically tensile and the inner layer sheet being elastically tensile is attached to the outer layer sheet under tension.

5. The wearing article according to claim 1 , wherein the outer layer sheet and the interlayer sheet are bonded to each other by bonding means evenly distributed to the interlayer sheet over an entire area thereof so that the area distributed with the bonding means may be 4% or more of the whole area of the interlayer sheet.

6. The wearing article according to claim 1 , wherein the outer layer sheet has heat-sealed regions in which the conjugate fibers are heat-sealed to each other by thermocompression bonding.

7. The wearing article according to claim 1 , wherein a content of titanium oxide in the outer layer sheet is 0.1 mass % or less.
