Be careful in those two areas and you should be alright. Despite what a lot of people think (Thanks to pics around the net, etc) everyday Japanese clothing is pretty conservative.

For pretty average looking clothes, check out some digital catalogs for "everyday wear";

and

Are pretty standard fare.
Fabulous! I was just looking for links. I tried to check out Elle Japan, but I wasn't so successful. I really appreciate it.

@ MMM: Definitely not. Thanks!

@ sarasi: Great advice. I'll probably stick to linen, lightweight cotton, khaki, and layering tanks or somesuch. Thank you.
