After the Meiji period, western-style clothing was gradually adopted in the military, authority and schools, and in many cases, many present-day Japanese people adopt a style of wearing European clothes on a daily basis, and wearing traditional Japanese clothes on celebration days and festive days.
明治時代以降、軍隊や官庁、学校などから次第に西洋風の服が採用されるようになり、今日では日常的には洋服を着用し、晴れの日やめでたい日（「ハレとケ」）など和服を着る、といったスタイルが多くなっている。
