A Japanese woman in her 20s said frankly, “When a guy appreciates my sense of fashion, I get the feeling that we could get along.” Meanwhile, other Japanese women felt recognized for their capabilities when a guy approved their sense of fashion. “If a fashionable boyfriend tells me that I dress well, I know I passed the test!” said another Japanese woman in her 20s. Other comments also supported this view, for example: “I think it shows that he approves what I choose.”
