As a largely conservative society, Japan has different standards
to Western countries in many aspects of life–including dress
code. If you’re keen not to offend and want to be sartorially
prepared, keep reading for some practical Japanese dress code
tips for what to wear during life’s most important situations.
Japan is a communal culture, where it is key to blend in. While
a suit in Western countries can include some variety in color
and design, in Japan it is quite important to stick to black, gray
or navy with a neutral shirt and tie. Even though Japanese
business attire is very conservative, a quality suit will be taken
note of. The neat, dark suit is code for respect, and this is vital
to remember.
