Our group's topic is fashion, hair and appearance and so on. We want to ask American students some questions below.
☆What image about Japanese fasion do you have?
☆Japanese girls wear a pair of leggings under short pants or skirt, but some American girls wear only a pair of leggings. Do you think wearing a pair of leggings without wearing skirt is ashamed?
☆What do you think Japanese brown dyed hair?
☆Why you don't take off your shoes on your bed? Japanese think shoes are very dirty. So we don't wear shoes in a house.
☆What do you think Japanese high school girl's uniform. Especially skirt.

the image i have of japanese fashion is somewhat conservative as compared to Americans and for girls, more of a "cute" style rather than "sexy".
ReplyDeleteAmerican girls wear just legging sometimes because in our culture many people think that if you have a nice figure you should show it off. leggings are currently in style so a lot of girls do that. i dont think it's shameful... it shows confidence and pride for one's body and style.
I know that some people don't take their shoes off in the house but that's only SOME people. in my family, we always take our shoes off becuse like you said, they are very dirty. also, i was brought up in a japanese cultured household so taking off my shoes when i enter anyone's house is something i've been brought up doing
My perseption of Japanese fashion is also conservative. I see alot of modesty and not wanting to flaunt yourself.
ReplyDeleteI personally am not the biggest fan of legging. I think its hard to pull off that style when you are dressing to go out. It also just seen as a casual attire. I see alot of girls wearing a big sweatshirt over them so its not overly revealing. I dont think its shameful but its definitely not something that I would be comfortable wearing.
As a child my parents enforced taking shoes off in the house as well as in other peoples houses. Therefore I dont wear shoes on my bed. I think it is very dirty as well. But I do run into problems with some friends who wear shoes all over my house and I have to ask them to remove them. Its a sign of respect.
thanx fir your replies.
ReplyDeletei thought all American people don't take their shoes off in the house.

Thank you for ansewring questions, Erika. I thought many Americans wear a shoes in a house. About leggings, you said American girls want to shaw thier nice figure off with wearing leggings. On the other hand, many Japanese don't have confidence to their body, so we don't want to show the figure off. I think this is the difference between American and Japanese.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelly. I work at cloth shop, and I find some Japanese people don't like wearing leggings like you. They said leggings emphasize
their figure, so they hate it.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments.I think the image of American female fashion is "zexy" than "cute".
Many Japanese people don't have enough confident about their body, so hey dislike wearing only legging.

Thank you for your comment. There are many Japanese people who like conservative color. Are there many people who takw off shoes in their house??? When I went to New Zea Land two years ago, my host father wear shoes in his house.
I also agree that Japanese fashion is conservative. (Compared to American fashion that is). I think of a short person, with brown/black hair, and carrying a brand name purse.
ReplyDeleteI like wearing leggings. If I wear them, I usually wear them with a dress, so that I am covered. If I want to wear a dress and it is cold out I will wear my leggings, and in the summer I would just wear the dress. I don't think of it as being sexy. I find them to be comfortable, and they keep me warm when it is cold out. I do agree that some people wear them to show off their body. I have friends who would never wear leggings because they are not comfortable with their body image. Personally, I find them to be comfortable.
I do not wear my shoes in bed, but I do wear them around the house. I usually will take off my sneakers in my room as opposed to when I first walk in my house. I don't know why exactly I do that. That is just the way my family has always done things so I learned to do it that way as well.
As far as uniforms go, I would hate to wear a uniform to school. Infact I can't even imagine doing it. I suppose you would be use to it if you had to wear one everyday, but I like my clothes. I would not want to be forced to wear something.
☆What image about Japanese fasion do you have?
ReplyDeleteI always thought japanese fasion wasn't sexy but was adorable and has a sense of style
☆Japanese girls wear a pair of leggings under short pants or skirt, but some American girls wear only a pair of leggings. Do you think wearing a pair of leggings without wearing skirt is ashamed?
No, everyone all over the entire world has their own sense of style. There is nothing wrong with being different.
☆Why you don't take off your shoes on your bed? Japanese think shoes are very dirty. So we don't wear shoes in a house.
I never wear my shoes on my bed becuase they are dirty and full of germs. I never ever wear my shoes in my house. It's been imbedded in my head that when I enter any house whether it's mine or a friend's I need to take my shoes off.
☆What do you think Japanese high school girl's uniform. Especially skirt.
I almost went to a Cathloic high school and I am thankful that I never did. Wearing a uniform is just not something I'd want to do but I think it's cute in general.
