Korean Fashion is Simple but Difficult. Korean fashion is made up of a variety of various ensembles when viewed as a whole. from a skirt and sweater to coordinated patterns and a tonne of jewelry. Despite this, every look has the same mood. The majority of street fashion consists of long denim pants and a striped top or skirts and jumpers. They typically wear plain garments with accessories to draw attention to particular features of the outfit.

But occasionally, things might become really challenging. Unique accessories, bright, strong colors, and interesting patterns are all used in Korean fashion to add flair. I really like Korean Fashion because of these characteristics.

EACH ITEM IS OVERSIZED.

I sometimes think that most Korean apparel is large. It can go with anything, which is presumably why it’s a classic outfit. In street fashion, oversized jumpers are frequently worn with skirts or as part of an ensemble with a regular top and a pair of big jeans. This gives the outfit, in my opinion, a more relaxed mood, and many people, I believe, favor that look. It’s unquestionably a go-to style. Observe the huge jumpers.

WEARING SKIRTS

I have seen skirts in around 60% of the outfits related to K Fashion. This, in my opinion, is one of the key reasons I find it so appealing. I don’t get to wear skirts that much in my life, but I’ve fallen in love with them now. All styles of skirts are worn, but mostly form-fitting ones in mid-length. But you may modify the skirts to do whatever you choose.

BRIGHT COLORS.

You already know that you often base your clothing selection on an accent hue. But Korean fashion greatly raises the bar. The use of bold hues like blue, purple, and yellow grabs your attention. I was actually shocked by this when I initially started studying Korean fashion. Sometimes, an outfit is made up of one color in a variety of tones.

ACCESSORIES

A must-have is accessories. They add flair to your clothing and raise its level. Earrings and spectacles are two examples of accessories that can make or break an ensemble. Sometimes, these accent pieces serve as the focal point of the ensemble and give it vitality.

PATTERNS

In South Korea, people are not scared to match patterns, and it usually works. The combination of various patterns, including stripes and checkered garments, results in a stunning attire that astounds many onlookers ( including me). Many people take advantage of this opportunity to meet new people. In often incredibly intricate arrangements, you find siblings, brothers, and partners matching with one another.

I discovered that my personal sense of style was developing in real-time when I was traveling to Seoul, which is an infinite, evergreen source of fashion inspiration. I started to take more fashion risks than I had ever done before. Rarely did I encounter a lady who wasn’t dressed in the newest fashions, with flawless hair and makeup. Korean girls aren’t hesitant to put their best foot forward every day.

In light of this, I wanted to provide you with a breakdown of the main Korean fashion aesthetics and trends I saw in Seoul. I’ll be concentrating on a traditional and feminine Korean wardrobe this week before switching to my preferred Korean fashion look, edgy street style.

Young women’s fashion choices in Seoul appeared to fall into one of two categories:

Classic and Feminine: This subgroup includes goods like girly blouses, schoolgirl check skirts, pastels and beige, romantic floral pieces, tailored coats, and tops and skirts in exquisite, flowy materials. It also includes pastels and beige.

Athleisure pieces, unusual coats, and jackets, oversized things, flashes of neon, street-wear accessories, and grunge footwear all embody the edgy and on-trend look.

The Components of a Traditional & Feminine Korean Wardrobe

It’s crucial to keep the following in mind while you construct your Korean-inspired wardrobe: To create a K-Fashion style, you must feel at ease “dressing up.” We’ve gone into great detail about the advantages of dressing up every day, especially in the current climate when some college students continue to believe that wearing pajamas to class is okay (it’s not, so don’t do it!).

In light of this, we can learn a lot from Seoul’s women about how to look effortlessly stylish in daily life. Here are some of their picks for a traditional, flirtatious, and feminine Korean wardrobe.

TRENCH COAT, THE FIRST COMPONENT

The trench coat was by far the most common fashion accessory I noticed while people-watching in Seoul among all the gorgeous apparel pieces. This particular style of jacket was worn by women of all ages on every street, indicating that it is a popular addition to Korean girls’ fall outfits.

One more thing to keep in mind while drawing fashion cues from South Korea: fashionistas in Seoul adore neutrals. Seoul is leading the fashion pack with its love of all things beige, cream, and brown, despite the fact that neutral apparel is currently a huge trend. In fact, a few of the boutiques I visited (such as Indibrand) were devoted to simplicity and had no colored clothing at all. A dream for minimalists!

The ideal K-Fashion addition to your winter collection is this trench coat from Zara. Given that Korean design is all about the finer details, this trench’s sleeves make it a Seoul-worthy piece of clothing. Look at the awesome cuffed sleeve design! I love it.

NEXT ELEMENT, THE COLLARED BLOUSE

This style of blouse is a mainstay in the business (and casual) wardrobes of many girls. Its versatility is what makes this feminine item so fantastic; I’ve seen collared blouses worn with fall dresses (like the one pictured above), with adorable miniskirts or straight-leg jeans, and even layered under casual sweaters with the collar poking out just over the neckline.

Although I don’t really like preppy clothing, I did buy a stunning cream-collared blouse from Mixxo for work. Any profession that calls for a business dress will go well with this straightforward, crisp shirt and some black pants.

MIDI SKIRT, ELEMENT THREE

A traditional and feminine Korean wardrobe has evolved to depend heavily on midi skirts. Perhaps the most adaptable “bottom” imaginable, these items can be dressed up or down depending on the situation.

Ladies choose patterned, pleated, and satin variations of the traditional midi in Seoul. When it comes to fashion, I’ve seen that ladies frequently pair a lovely skirt with a sweater or jumper. Let your sweater hang loose for an oversized appearance rather than tucking it in to define the waist.

THE WIDE-LEG JEAN.

Do you feel like tiny jeans are so 2012? Korean women would concur. The majority of the Seoul fashion set prefers straight and wide-leg jeans, and despite how intimidating they can appear, I’m here to tell you that these jeans are absolutely appropriate for everyday use!

I especially like the way wide-leg jeans look with a heeled bootie, but they also look great with Vans or Chuck Taylors, or other flat sneakers. Wide-leg denim may give your outfit a truly fashionable and contemporary makeover, depending on the mood you’re going for.

If you’ve been reading my posts, you undoubtedly already know how much I adore Topshop jeans. Therefore, when I finally make the purchase of an intriguing pair of (non-skinny) jeans for myself, I will be contacting my preferred denim company. Wish me luck as I take a fashion risk!

INSOLE BOOT

We now turn to the last component of every outfit: footwear! Since I traveled to South Korea in October, the weather abruptly changed towards the conclusion of my trip, ushering in boot season.

Black sock boots are the go-to footwear choice around here since they are both comfortable and fashionable and, depending on the style, can either lend edge or elegance to any ensemble.

These ASOS black sock boots have a broad flared heel that gives them a retro feel, making them a wonderfully unique way to test this style. Additionally, they stand out from all the other pairs you’ll see on the streets this season thanks to their square toe.

When it comes to Korean goods, people living outside of South Korea may be more familiar with cosmetics. Don’t be misled; Korea has had a sizable fashion culture for a long time, despite the fact that Seoul Fashion Week may be a recent phenomenon for non-Koreans. Korean women’s fashion is booming here, and fashion in general has been rapidly gaining importance in Korean culture.

Nowadays, a growing number of Korean retailers and shopping centers offer international shipping. Thus, the global craze for Korean fashion has started. Perhaps you are also interested in what a Korean woman would wear.

We’ve compiled a list of common streetwear in Seoul to help you get a handle on the fundamentals of Korean women’s fashion. Though you may have caught a glimpse of fashion in a few Korean dramas, you might be shocked to learn that it differs significantly from what you see in music videos.

GETTING READY

Who doesn’t enjoy wearing a dress, especially when trying to come up with an ensemble idea, and doesn’t want to think too much about what goes with what? Because Korean ladies never just wear a dress—always something extra goes with it—they have to get creative when it comes to their attire.

DRESSES AND SHIRTS

This Korean fashion trend is simple and adaptable. Just a top and a dress to wear over it will do! Having patterned products is typically a lone “no no,” as it will readily clash. Sets that include the top and the dress are readily created and available in many street shops and online marketplaces.

However, you are free to combine and match however you like! Maybe you feel like wearing a simple black tank dress with a simple white long-sleeved top today? You might wish to wear a ruffled flower blouse underneath your dress tomorrow.

DRESSES OVER KNITS

Dresses are also frequently incorporated into Korean fashion by being worn underneath a knit or a sweater. Additionally, there are other ways to accomplish this appearance. either a sweater or a knit of standard length with the dress showing through as a skirt. Alternatively, you may wear a knee-length sweater with a large side slit through which the dress will peek out.

One particular style involves wearing pants underneath the dress while sporting the knit appearance with a transparent, occasionally lace, dress. What else is mastering layering if not this?

DETAILS ABOUT BOTTOMS

The majority of the time, we just consider the color of the bottom in relation to the top when deciding what to wear with it. Already ready to leave are we. But not with Korean fashion. Even with basic wardrobe essentials like jeans or skirts, they are able to come up with creative ways to make it look more complicated. Let’s look at various ways they dress up these bottoms.
