what to wear in japan’s summer heat? help!
I’m planning a trip to Japan this summer, and honestly, I’m both excited and a little nervous. Here’s the thing: I overheat super easily. I mean, I start sweating just walking to the mailbox when it’s 60 degrees out. I don’t know if it’s just me or if it’s some weird American thing, but I’m dreading the idea of melting in Japan’s humid summer.
I’ve been looking at what people wear over there, and it seems like a lot of locals wear multiple layers—even in the heat! I don’t get it. How do they not pass out? I want to be respectful and dress appropriately, but I also don’t want to spend the whole trip worrying about sweat stains or, worse, getting heat stroke. I’d rather focus on enjoying the sights and food than constantly fanning myself.
So, for anyone who’s been to Japan in the summer, what did you actually wear? Did you find any lightweight clothes that kept you cool but didn’t make you stand out? Are there any stores or brands you recommend for breathable, modest outfits? And is it really frowned upon to wear shorts or tank tops in certain places? I don’t want to offend anyone, but I also don’t want to roast alive!
I’d love to hear your real experiences—especially if you’re someone who sweats a lot like me. Any tips for surviving the heat while still fitting in? Let’s commiserate!
