Korean Fashion for Women

Introduction:

Korean fashion is often heralded as some of the best in the world. With Seoul quickly becoming one of the world’s fashion capitals, Korean fashion is becoming more popular by the day. Where people rarely considered Korean fashion a few years ago, the country is now looked to for the latest fashion trends.

The growth of Korean fashion is only compounded by the skyrocketing popularity of Korean media, such as K-dramas and K-pop. Through the growth of these media formats, celebrities such as actors and idols bring the latest Korean fashion trends to millions of screens worldwide

While Korean fashion is taking the world by storm, it’s hard to stay on top of the current trends. Oftentimes, fashion trends from the peninsula will only hit other countries months or even years after they have passed domestically. This is especially troublesome because Korean fashion moves fast. What’s in fashion one season, will almost certainly not be the next time that season rolls around.

Evolving Trends:

Over the past few years, Korean fashion has emerged victorious in terms of evolving in style and fashion. Korean fashion is becoming less and less conservative every year. Even in the past four or five years, we’ve seen shorter tops and more revealing clothes worn in South Korea.This is reflected in many of the recent fashion trends in Korea, with clothing such as open-back shirts and athleisure becoming more popular. While Korean fashion still tends to be more conservative than many other countries, the walls are slowly falling.One big Korean fashion trend that has taken off recently is streetwear. A few years ago, most women’s outfits would fit into either the ‘cute’ or ‘elegant’ category. However, streetwear has gained a lot of traction and it’s rapidly becoming a defining Korean fashion trend of the early 2020s. Not really fitting into either of the aforementioned categories, streetwear has created a third pillar of fashion.

Outfits that define Korean Fashion:

Fleece Coat:

While winter in Korea is often too cold for fleece coats, these warm clothes are particularly popular during spring and fall. Typically, white and black are the colors that one will most commonly encounter. However, at times shades of brown such as beige can be seen on the streets of Seoul.These coats work well with any cute outfit. While they can also work well with other styles, they complement cute clothing particularly well. They are a great match with slacks and jeans – both fitted and not. When it comes to shoes, this look matches great with chunky, funky shoes to elevate the look. If one’s seeking a cute look, a white fleece jacket with beige pants is a great choice. It’s an outfit that strikes a good balance between looking great and being comfortable – especially during the colder months.

Athleisure:

Over the past few years, athleisure has taken the world by storm. This trend is definitely not limited to Korea, as these days one can see it almost everywhere. With that being said, it would be remiss not to mention this incredibly popular Korean fashion trend. Athleisure is loved because it’s incredibly comfortable and easy to wear. A pair of leggings and a loose top make for an outfit with unparalleled comfort. On top of that, these items are very affordable and can easily and cheaply be added to one’s wardrobe. For footwear, leggings are often matched with small sneakers, such as general-use sneakers or street shoes such as Stan Smiths from Adidas. Stan Smiths almost deserve their own place on this list – although the trend took off a few years ago, these shoes are still incredibly popular in Korea. They also match perfectly with casual outfits such as athleisure. If one’s looking for a hip Korean outfit, they should consider picking up some longer socks that can be worn over leggings and match these with their favorite sneakers. For one’s top half, one should add a waist-length coat that matches the outfit.

Minimalist Clothing:

One of the most defining Korean fashion trends of 2022 is minimalist clothing. While this can come in various forms, it’s most often seen in outfits using single-color sweaters and slacks. This trend is fantastic because most people will already have some simple clothing in their wardrobe.Muted colors dominate the trend in Korea. Mainly white and black along with shades of gray and brown. The minimalist trend has also caught on in Kpop fashion. While each person can put a unique spin on this minimalist trend, one will often find single-color sweaters with a small detail are popular. A detail, such as the blue cloud ,can add an extra element to the outfit that makes it look more attractive while not drawing away from the simplicity that this outfit excels in.This Korean fashion trend is fantastic for when one wants to look good but doesn't want to stand out. As Korean society often tends to be about blending in, minimalist clothing has really taken off. Of course, there are times when these outfits are too simple. If one feels like adding a little something to the outfit, why not match it with a fleece vest. These are super cute and don’t take away from the outfit’s simplicity.

Denim:

Is denim ever out of fashion?  One can’t ever think so. Anyway, right now, denim jackets in Korea are absolutely in. If one wanders down the streets of Seoul in spring or fall, they will likely encounter more than a few outfits using denim jackets.This is because they just match so well with so many outfits. During the warmer months, they make for a great match with summery outfits, including tennis skirts which are also a hot Korean fashion trend right now and crop tops. If one’s looking for something more on the ‘street’ side, denim jackets also match well with black slacks and longer skirts.Lighter blue denim jackets match fantastically with spring and summer outfits. During these months, outfits tend to be more colorful as we welcome new life into the world around us. On the other hand, darker denim jackets fit better in the fall and winter atmosphere.
