Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Business attire is conservative, with an emphasis on conformity rather than individual expression. Men should wear dark-coloured business suits with ties and white shirts. Jewellery for men should be kept to a minimum – a watch and a wedding ring would be fine.

Detailed explanation-2: -Business Casual Attire Ties are not required. Choose subdued colours such as black, white, navy or beige, or if you wear patterns, make sure they are subtle, such as stripes or dots. Women usually wear a shirt and cardigan or jacket, knee-length skirt or trousers. In Japan, people do not wear a hat (cap) in an office.

Detailed explanation-3: -Americans tend to communicate through facts and opinions. While this is also important in Japan, Japanese business people will discuss conflicts indirectly that do not involve confrontation or a public dispute. Instead, Japanese business people tend to conform to the group looking to create harmony.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Japanese business uniform is almost always a dark-colored suit! Men or women, don’t forget to pack a dark-colored suit, white shirt and dark-not black-shoes-during autumn and winter, light grey for spring and summer. It is considered as the “uniform” for everything businessy.
