How much attention do men pay to a woman’s clothes, handbag, and other accessories?

This content is machine-translated.
I’m not really into designer brands, and I’ve never bought clothes or a bag costing more than 10,000 yen. When I go on dates, I try to dress femininely, such as wearing a blouse with a skirt, but to be honest, I mainly wear GU and Uniqlo. I do my best to maintain a neat and clean appearance, but I’m a little worried about what the men I meet think of me. Are women who don’t spend much money on what they wear considered less attractive? I’d appreciate hearing your personal preferences.

I’m a male member, BB7. This is just my personal, biased opinion, but whether male or female, people who dress head-to-toe in designer brands or wear clothes covered in obvious logos often seem to lack inner appeal, and many of them don’t have much to say. That said, it’s not as though everyone who wears fast fashion is wonderful either. As long as they’re not wearing a wrinkled shirt, a skirt with loose threads, or scuffed, worn-out shoes, I don’t think it’s a problem.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well. Apparently, truly impressive women may own designer items, but they don’t wear or carry them on dates. Maybe because they’re more likely to have them bought for them that way. I’m not sure whether that’s the right approach, though. If a man genuinely likes you, he’ll probably want to buy things for you anyway, so I think it’s best to let your personality speak for itself. That said, you still need clothes that look presentable at the very least. They don’t have to be designer brands.

I’m male member だて◎ゆめ. > Are women who don’t spend much money on what they wear less attractive? Not at all. What matters to me is having a sense of style that suits the person. People often mistakenly assume that designer items are automatically classy, but I don’t think that’s true. If you feel that something looks good on you, I think you should wear it. It’s actually quite common for something to become a brand when more and more people choose to wear it because they genuinely like it.

I’m Saito, a column writer♪ I don’t pay much attention to brands, but I do look at the fabric and whether something suits the person wearing it. Real models have surprisingly few clothes, but they carry themselves with such an aura that you don’t even notice. With ordinary models, I care less about how famous the brand is and more about the fabric, and whether the overall look is stylish and suits them. (They’re happy if you touch the fabric a little.) Minato-ku girls, as Seattle-san says, compete using brand labels. But they sometimes proudly carry last year’s model, so I’d be too embarrassed to take them to a show. If you’re tired of this constant race to keep up with brands, it’s probably safer not to get involved. Personally, I absolutely love people who know how to use color.

EastCustomerLoyaltyGroup Aizawa from Tokyo here. Mr. Mac and Mr. Seattle may have different opinions, and I think every man sees things differently. That said, when someone is dressed entirely in expensive clothes, many people may wonder: “How did they get all that?” “Are they the type who likes expensive things and asks men to buy them?” Wearing clothes that are obviously cheap and overly plain isn’t ideal for a date, but I think a truly stylish person can make even inexpensive clothes look that way. Being careless about what you wear is a no-go, but spending a lot of money doesn’t automatically make an outfit good. If you’ve put thought into your choices, I don’t think there’s any problem at all.

I’m a male member based in Seattle. If anything, spending more money on clothes makes someone less attractive. Even Uniqlo can be charming, as long as the clothes are clean and well cared for. Personally, I tend to focus on someone’s face and may not even notice their clothes. What matters is what’s inside.
