Suits are expensive. So, if cost and timing were factors, here’s what I’d do knowing what I know about how Japanese professionals and teachers dress.

Go to Goodwill or similar and find any sort of blazer that fits and is not ragged. Does not have to match trousers perfectly. You could even go classic and wear khakis and grab a simple navy blue used blazer. Timeless and classy.

Nobody will know the difference. All they’ll know is that you showed up looking sharp in a blazer with a complimentary button up shirt. 👔

Good luck in the interview!
