Women's pantsuit suitable for a Tokyo business meeting?

Question:


I'm trying this question in two categories. Hope someone can help me. Would a women's pantsuit in navy or browns be appropriate for a business meeting in Toyko? It will be at the corporate headquarters of a multinational conglomerate.

Answer:


If you're not Japanese, then people aren't going to expect you to dress the same way anyway. Pansuits are perfectly fine in your situation. Black is fine too. The majority of Japanese business people wear black. I don't know who told you otherwise.

The main thing in Japan is your harmonious attitude. As far as looks go, as long as you're neat and clean.

Don't blow your nose in a meeting. Wait until you can go to the washroom to do so. Sniffle if you have to. Don't eat unless others are eating.
