Japan is one of those places where you kinda want to dress for the vibe. Not because there’s a strict dress code everywhere – it’s more like… you notice how neat and intentional people look, and you wanna match that energy.
First time I went, I overpacked. Half the pieces I brought never left the suitcase because I realized comfy shoes and layers were basically the uniform. Also, you walk a lot. So whatever you wear, make sure it’s something you can actually live in all day.
Here are my absolute favorite Japan outfit ideas I’m completely obsessed with atm and I’m sure you’ll love them just as much as I do!

FAQ:
What is appropriate to wear to Japan?
Neat, comfortable, and weather-appropriate. Nothing crazy revealing if you’re heading to temples or shrines.
And honestly, even in casual settings, people just… look tidy. So maybe swap the holey hoodie for a clean sweater.
What is the clothing style in Japan?
Depends where you are. Tokyo? Trendy and mixed – you’ll see high fashion next to streetwear.
Kyoto? Softer, more classic. Everywhere though, it’s put-together. Even the “casual” looks feel thought-out.
What is a traditional outfit in Japan?
A kimono – though there are different types for different occasions.
You might also see yukata in summer, which are lighter and more casual. And honestly, they’re beautiful up close.
What not to wear in Japan as a tourist?
Messy, ripped clothes. Offensive slogans on shirts (even in English). And maybe don’t wear super short or low-cut stuff to religious places – you’ll feel out of place.
Are shorts ok in Japan?
Yeah, especially in summer. You’ll notice men wear them more than women in some areas, but tourists wear them without an issue.
Just maybe go a bit longer if you’re heading somewhere traditional.
