I’m Saito, a column writer ♪
I never wear a suit outside of work (though I don’t work that much), so I usually wear jeans with a jacket.
When I have no choice but to travel alone with a celebrity, I wear a plain black suit, carry a large bag like a manager, and deliberately walk around confidently. If someone asks for an autograph, I politely decline when appropriate. Haha.
(I sometimes run into fans on Shinkansen platforms.)
The bottom line is that I try to dress with an outfit in mind that I think the other person will be happy to see.
I don’t like clothes that scream, “I’m rich.” I think it’s best to wear something that complements the woman.
I choose my jackets based on the fabric and have them tailored, so they don’t even have a brand name.

I’m だて◎ゆめ, a male member.
I usually switch things up—sometimes I dress like an old man, and other times I wear a suit—but I seem to get a better response when I’m in a suit.
When I wear one, I’m told, “You look handsome!”
I reply, “I’m really not all that special…” (lol)

That’s a difficult question. Basically, anything should be fine, but we once received a complaint from a woman.
She said something along the lines of, “He showed up dressed in what looked like sweatpants. Is he really a member? I couldn’t believe it.”
So even though we say anything is fine, showing up in sweats doesn’t seem to be acceptable.
It appears that a reasonably presentable outfit is still expected.
I suppose it’s fundamentally the same as a man saying, “I can’t believe a woman would come to a Ginza meeting in jeans and sneakers.”
You probably don’t need to wear a suit, but it’s best to look reasonably well put together.
As you go on more dates, you’ll be able to talk directly with the women and gradually figure out what’s considered acceptable.
Until then, it may be safest to err on the side of being slightly overdressed.

I’m in my 30s and a new member.
As long as you dress appropriately for the venue, you should be fine, but I think it’s best to go with something safe and understated at first.
I often meet people after work, so I naturally wear a suit most of the time. Even when meeting on my days off, I usually stick to a neat, clean, and understated outfit.
