A playful personality that doesn't create any barriers increases likeability.


Brown suits are a key color this season and are considered the third business color. Mr. Watanabe chooses a light, casual tone to highlight his cheerful personality. The patch pockets and the pick stitching on the lapel edges also help to soften the suit's stiffness. His shirt is white, and of course, his pocket square is also white. There's an unwritten rule that you shouldn't wear anything other than a white shirt with a brown suit. His tie has a somewhat busy pattern, but choosing a color similar to the suit was the right decision. By limiting the use of pattern to just one item, the brown color stands out. Having focused so much on "wearing brown," the next important point in coordination after color and pattern is the material. A suit made of cotton has a refreshing feel and doesn't detract from the likeability essential for customer service jobs.
