7 Style Guides To The Latest Fashion in South Korea
Summer Fashion
After a long period of wearing thick clothes to prevent cold, even during spring, the summer season is the best time to show a little skin. You can wear your shorts and crop tops without worrying about freezing in them. Of course, you can still pair your shorts with blazers or a long-sleeved top with jeans; that’s what makes summer special. You can pair any of these combinations with sneakers or a flat shoe or sandal.
Modern Spring Fashion
Most people are more bothered about staying warm than maintaining a fashion lifestyle during winter, but after that comes the spring season. Springs are the best time to explore fashion trends. For those in South Korea during spring, the best way to remain in style is by meeting up with modern spring fashion. There is no better time to wear denim jackets and jeans trousers than the spring season. Pair a denim jacket and white t-shirt, with a Jean trouser, for a casual yet classy spring look. If you are looking to achieve a less casual look, you can pair a short blazer with a plain or floral skirt, depending on how formal you intend to look.
Nightlife Fashion
If you reside in Seoul, you would know that nightlife is a big deal in the city, especially in Gangnam. Most people are reluctant about looking their best at night and in a city like Seoul, you need to make a little effort. Try to add a bit of glamor to your dress. Most times, the hangout spots determine the outfit. If you plan on going to a karaoke, a Shirt Room to be precise, you will be inclined to wear a shirt. A mini skirt paired with a fitted shirt, a short dress, or a Jean paired with a crop top is a perfect clubbing outfit. If you plan on going to a pub, you can dress a bit casually with a Jean and t-shirt paired with sneakers
Gender-Neutral Fashion
The world at large has gotten to a point where there are no limitations to what you can wear. Gender-neutral fashion is one of the trendiest styles in South Korea, mostly inspired by K-pop. This kind of fashion involves wearing clothes that are appropriate for both sexes.
K-Pop Fashion
If you are a lover of K-pop, you probably already have an idea of what K-pop fashion entails. It is nothing over the top but still very classy. Bold street fashion is a better way to describe K-Pop fashion. Loosely fitted tops, baggy shorts or trousers, chunky sneakers, oversized mix print sweaters and eye-catching accessories are a representation of K-Pop fashion.
Smart Casual
Some people tend to go overboard with looking casual all in the name of maintaining comfort. Who says you cannot look smart and casual at the same time? Rather than wearing the regular T-shirt and jeans, you can wear well-fitted tops, dressy pants, beautiful sweaters, blazers that complement your body, etc. Ensure that you pair Whatever you wear with comfortable shoes and accessorize as well.
Accessories
We already mentioned accessories in some of the guides above but it needs to have a paragraph of its own to express its importance more clearly. Dressing up without accessorizing reduces the beauty of an outfit. Nothing adds class to a dressing as much as accessories. Even a super casual outfit requires accessories. Wear statement accessories when necessary and ensure that they flow with your outfit. Earrings, necklaces, bangles, rings, glasses, bags, watches, and hair accessories are a must-have for every fashion lover.
