So I know this is something I’ve touched on briefly in
another post about why Korea reminds me of the 90’s. But I don’t think I really
did justice to the style that Korea has. People really put effort into their
appearance here. Not just the girls but also the men. The only thing that I will
say is that the style is pretty homogenous here, particularly men’s style. It
is pretty much what is known as “hipster”. And girls’ style ranges from super
girly- frills, bows and polka dots- to hipster.
In some ways a lot of things I
see are outdated. Not in a cool throwback/ironic kind of way but in a “we never
moved on from that decade” sense. For example, I see a lot of young women
wearing fitted high waisted pencil skirts and/or dresses with puffy shoulders.
They just scream 80’s in all the wrong ways. Since I have the clothes taste of
an 8 year old, I think that I fit in perfectly here. I will never outgrow bows
and polka dots. With that said, here are some of my favorite trends here:
GIRLS
Short, Puffy Skirts
Mixing girly dresses with chunky sweaters
Oversize Cable Knit Sweater
Prairie inspired tent dresses
GUYS
HUGE Scarves a la Lenny Kravitz
Fitted Blazers
Obnoxiously Big Glasses
Funky Patterned Shirts
