  1. That's one part of japanese culture that I'd fail so friggin hard.... xD Well, I've wore suits. For weddings, university graduation, and... that's about it. Perhaps a few other occasions, usually parties that required the outfit. Even graduation, these days you just rent the graduation gown thing and that's it - doesn't matter what you're wearing under it. xD Well, I did an internship and a freelance job inside the executive branch of a large company times ago... I wasn't forced to wear a suit, but it had to be business casual. As a former metalhead it really didn't feel like myself, but then again, I didn't have to choose what to wear everyday. xD It'd probably be an issue if the place didn't have central AC that kept the place at the exact same temperature all year round... But I'm gonna guess, and people may correct me if I'm wrong, that in a tropical country like mine these things tend to be more relaxed because quite frankly, forcing people to wear suits or heavy clothing here is asking for heat strokes, all sorts of bad body odors, and sweat stains everywhere. xD You end up being more presentable if you are wearing casual but comfortable clothing, rather than formal heavy clothing that you sweat all over because of the heat. :P If your employer will ask you to wear a suit here, it'll need to provide the environment for you to be comfortable with it... So it's limited to stuff like law firms, and few othet jobs. School, mine actually had uniforms... Both private schools I attended. But it's shorts and t-shirts, pants and jackets for winter, far from formal. It's more like something you wear so it's easy to identify and so you don't have to waste time chooseing what to wear than a strict rule. I think these days it's more common for schools not to require or have uniforms anymore. Also, no rules about hair, make up, accessories or whatever. University all bets are off... no one cares. xD CompSci course we had people showing up almost in their jammies. xD Journalism course I swear some days in winter I saw some girls wearing pajamas under some layers of clothing, crocs with socks on, no make up, and like, whatever. xD You did have to be a bit more presentable in front of a camera though, less because it's a rule, more because common sense. xD But yeah, journalists and reporters do have a more formal dress code still... Anyways, an interesting topic, thanks for sharing Greg!
