Top 10 Amazing Korean Clothing Styles And A Fashion Guide
There is no denying the fact that Korean style of dressing is widely loved across the globe and all for the right reasons. Is it any wonder that Seoul Fashion Week which began in 2013 is totally a thing now, and then designers from all around the world are always up for attending it? This has inspired us to create this article all about Korean fashion. If you are interested in learning more, scroll down to learn about the Korean Clothing Styles!
Add Layers With Texture
Korean fashion is not just about short, skimpy clothes. If you look closely, there are textures, patterns, and asymmetry. Add a faux fur jacket to your jumpsuit, pantsuit or buttoned-down dress. You could also go a little further and add combat boots and round glasses – maybe with a pink tint?
Stylecraze Says
For a classic and feminine look, you may layer jackets and tops in pastel and beige shades and wear skirts made of flowy fabric.
Ruffled Pink Skirt And A Graphic Tee
Graphic tee, winged liner, and a side-swept pixie are how I’d imagine a fictional, badass, and chic Korean hacker. Come on now, we have seen enough sitcoms on Netflix. But, how do you make this look work for you? Pair the graphic tee with a ruffled pink skirt (because the color pink is almost synonymous with just about anything Korean), stockings, ankle length boots, and maybe a woolen cap in winters, and look like an adorable elf.
Shorts And Bold Striped Top
If you have watched any of those K-dramas, you must have noticed that this is a go-to outfit for most Korean women. While shorts are not new to any of us, pairing them with a bold blue striped T-shirt might not be my first choice if I wasn’t trying to pull a K-fashion statement.
Turtleneck Checkered Winter Dress
You can turn around towards Koreans for some much-needed fashion inspiration, and they will never fail you. Checkered shirt dresses are everywhere, but again, since they love their prints so much, they go all out with them, and so should you. Why the turtleneck, you ask? If you notice, Koreans are dressed in short dresses, but the necks are never deep, so keeping that in mind, here’s a dress for a cozy winter night. Oh, and long socks are another high street fashion piece that these guys love.
Oversized Sweater And A Pleated Skirt
Box pleated A-line or peplum skirts and corset tops scream Western fashion. Move a little towards the East, and you will realize they dress a bit differently, and something the rest of the world can adopt too. An accordion-pleated skirt that flares up your feminine side and an oversized sweater may be an unusual pairing, but because it’s K-fashion, it works. Carry a sling bag or a box clutch to finish the look.
Ruffled Skirt
We tend to assume that K-fashion is all about blush, peach, and pink colored palettes. But, they can be quite outlandish, and you’d realize that the minute you walk on the streets. You will realize that Korean women walk around in combinations we otherwise don’t consider wearing, and confidently so. A ruffled velvet skirt with a loose flap hand sweater or shirt is a punk look you should try.
Distressed Jeans And Sweaters
Ask Korean designers, and they will tell you that bootcut jeans, boots, and graphic T-shirts are love. You can bring it all into one single outfit or use them separately. The bootcut jeans and a big yellow sweater fits the Korean fashion scene perfectly.
Winter Fashion
Warm up your winters like Koreans in a faux fur overcoat or a thick and oversized jacket. Koreans firmly believe that beauty is in the details, and so winter jackets with eclectic cuts, patterns or designs with knee-high or combat boots will do the job for you. You don’t have to stick to the regular shade card – go all out with coral, yellow or blue jackets, and geometric designs, if you please.
Shirt Dress – Summer Fashion
Like we discussed, you see them all wearing incredibly short shorts or skirts, but they are not big on showing off their cleavage, which is very unlike the West. But, it is amazing how they play around with patterns and make you feel that you are not missing out on a style just because you are not wearing specific styles. And, so you see a lot of off and cold shoulder dresses, shirt dresses, playsuits, shorts, etc. in summer. But, a graphic shirt or T-shirt dress with shoes, tinted eyeglasses, and a fedora glides you into the Korean culture seamlessly.
Matching Separates
While you saw a lot of mellowed down fashion pieces, you would also be surprised to know that Koreans choose two remarkably unassuming pieces of clothing, not just in color but the pattern, style, etc., and bring them together, and it is okay. Even if you are in the mood to pair this outfit with knee-high boots or combats, nobody is stopping you – it is incredibly stylish.
