“I’m not saying I don’t appreciate him telling me that the new style suits me, but I want to know something a little more specific about my new style,” comments one Japanese woman in her 20s. If you’re simply comparing the new vs. the old style, you should remember to give credit to each style. Once that’s done, you can move onto complimenting her new style in further detail. Use as many adjectives as you can (cool, cute, mature, elegant, etc.). You may even want to go a step further and tell her, “The old style was mature and elegant, but the new style is fresh and cute!”
