I’m a male member. I’ve been completely focused on my business until now, so I’ve mostly worn clothes from Uniqlo. Now that I have more time and money to spare, I’d like to buy some high-end clothes for dates. Are there any stores you’d recommend? I’m looking for casual, comfortable, high-quality clothing.

I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s office, and I’ll answer this too. Thank you for your question. As long as your clothes look clean and well-kept, I think Uniqlo is perfectly fine. If you want to wear high-end clothes for your own sake, rather than because of Universe, I suggest going to a store and letting the staff help you choose. I feel like that’s a good place to start.

I’m Kazu, a male member. If it were me, I’d go to the men’s clothing section of a department store and tell a department store employee—not someone from one of the individual brands—“I’m looking for clothes that suit me.” Another option would be to reach out to a woman who seems interested in fashion or works in the apparel industry and ask her to put together an outfit for me on a date. In my own experience, I quickly stop wearing outfits that someone else—including a sales associate—picked out for me. So it might be better not to buy too much until you’ve worn the clothes for a while and know you actually like them. Personally, I think Uniqlo is perfectly fine as long as you look clean and well-groomed—unless your partner is the kind of woman who insists on going to French restaurants with a dress code.
