“K-Fashion Delight: Unveiling the 10 Most Amazing Korean Clothing Styles with a Fashion Guide”
The immense popularity of Korean clothing style worldwide is undeniable. It has won the hearts of fashion lovers for all the right reasons. So, is it any wonder that Seoul Fashion Week, which started in 2013, is now an absolute trend and designers from all over the world are always willing to take part? This inspired us to create this article all about Korean fashion. If you want to find out more, scroll down!
1. Add layers with texture
Korean fashion is not just about short clothing. If you look closely you can see textures, patterns and asymmetries. Complement your jumpsuit, pantsuit, or button-down dress with a faux fur jacket. You could also take it a step further and add combat boots and round glasses – perhaps with a pink tint?
2. Pink ruffled skirt with graphic tee
Graphic t-shirt, winged lining and a side-swept elf – that’s how I imagine a fictional, badass and chic Korean hacker. Come on, we’ve watched enough sitcoms on Netflix. But how do you achieve this look? Pair the graphic t-shirt with a ruffled pink skirt (the color pink is almost synonymous with almost everything Korean), stockings, ankle length boots and maybe a wool hat in winter and look adorable.
3. Shorts and bold striped top
If you have watched K-dramas, you must have noticed that this is casual wear for most Korean women. Although shorts aren’t new to any of us, pairing them with a statement blue striped t-shirt might not be my go-to choice if I wasn’t trying to make a K-fashion statement.
4. Plaid winter dress with turtleneck
When you need some much-needed fashion inspiration, you can turn to Koreans who will never let you down. Check shirt dresses are everywhere, but because they love their patterns so much, they go all out with them, and so should you. Why the turtleneck, you ask? As you can see, Koreans wear short dresses, but the neckline is never deep. With this in mind, here you will find a dress for a cozy winter night. Oh, and long socks paired with snow boots is another high street fashion item these guys love.
5. Oversized sweater and pleated skirt
A-line or peplum skirts and corset tops with box pleats are typical of Western fashion. Head a little east and you’ll find that they dress a little differently and that the rest of the world can pick up a bit too. An accordion-pleated skirt that accentuates your feminine side and an oversized sweater might be an unusual combination, but because it’s K-fashion, it works. Carry a crossbody bag or box clutch to complete the look.
6. Ruffle skirt
We tend to assume that K Mode is all about blush, peach, and pink tones. But they can be pretty chic, and you notice that immediately when you walk down the streets. You’ll notice Korean women walking around in combinations we wouldn’t otherwise wear, and doing so with confidence. A ruffled velvet skirt with a loose sweater or shirt is a punk look to try. Not only is this her favorite clothing, skirts are also part of her formal wear.
7. Distressed jeans and sweaters
Ask Korean designers and they’ll tell you that bootcut jeans, boots and graphic tees are a great love. You can combine everything in a single outfit or use them separately. The bootcut jeans and a big yellow sweater are perfect for the Korean fashion scene.
8. Winter fashion
Warm up your winters with a faux fur coat or a thick, oversized jacket. Koreans firmly believe that beauty is in the details, and that’s why winter jackets with versatile cuts, patterns or designs combined with knee-high boots or combat boots are perfect for you. You don’t have to stick to the regular color chart – go all out with coral, yellow or blue jackets and geometric patterns if you want.
9. Shirt dress – summer fashion
As we’ve already discussed, they’re all seen in incredibly short shorts or skirts, but they don’t care much about showing off their cleavage, which is very different than in the West. But it’s amazing how they play with patterns and make you feel like you’re not sacrificing style just because you don’t wear certain styles. And so in summer you see a lot of off- and cold-shoulder dresses, shirt dresses, playsuits and shorts. But a graphic shirt or t-shirt dress with shoes, tinted glasses, and a fedora seamlessly introduces you to Korean culture.
10. Matching parts
While you have seen many understated fashion pieces, you would also be surprised to know that Koreans choose two remarkably understated pieces of clothing, not only in color but also in pattern, style, etc., and combine them together, and that’s fine. Even if you want to pair this outfit with knee-high boots or combat boots, there’s no stopping it – it’s incredibly stylish.
In conclusion, Korean fashion has taken the world by storm with its unique and creative styles. From layering with structure to pairing oversized sweaters with pleated skirts, Korean clothing styles are all about experimenting and expressing your individuality. Whether it’s winter fashion with faux fur coats or summer fashion with shirt dresses, Korean fashionistas effortlessly combine patterns, colors and designs to create eye-catching looks. The key to success is to have fun and be confident in combining different pieces, because there are no strict rules in Korean fashion – it’s just about embracing your style and making a lasting impression.
