I know it's geared at guys but it works for girls too. I agree always overdressing a little looks way better than being underdressed. I love these Japanese fashion pics too. Very sharp stuff.

Back when I worked as a cashier in a grocery store, a friend of mine made me an earring made out of a penny. It had a grungy, used quality to it and he didn't brush it up at all, it was just an average penny from my pocket, but it made a difference. There was an instant change in the way people treated me compared to when I was just wearing a stud, people began paying more attention and talked to me more. Sure, I got some people who didn't like it or thought it was weird, but many people actually gave me compliments. Half of the people who came through my check-stand at least noticed the earring if they didn't comment on it. That little piece of flare was the only thing different about my uniform, everyone else was wearing the exact same thing as me, but it was that earring alone that set me apart and brought me attention.

This is why I love Asian culture: they seem to have the confidence to dress themselves with style and to play with what they wear. Plus, from the looks of their ads, well-dressed guys seem easier to come by XD As for the overdressed vs. underdressed: my opinion is that it's attractive because it shows that the guy wearing those clothes cares enough about who he's with and what he's doing to dress well for the occasion. Besides, what girl doesn't love a man in a good blazer? I know I do XD. It does such a good job of really streamlining and showing off the torso and shoulders. Keep up the great articles, Jae :D SO true!

I am currently living in Tokyo and from Day one loved how much more stylish and well put together people walk around here. You are really hard pressed to see anyone that looks like a bum. Your article made me aware of a lot of the things I see daily, but could not always put my finger down on why it looked so good. Thanks for another great article.

I stumbled through it, and I completely agree with what you say. When I went to Japan, I had an intense culture shock, but after going back to Korea, I really felt like I was in a professional world. Everyone dressed nice, and it all seemed to look good together! I felt like a loser! I really hope someday that others will find Seoul's high expectation for fashion to be admirable and others will step up to the plate! I really loved this articles.
