If you haven’t guessed by now, Korea is always ahead of the trends. And it’s not just with beauty. Here, we highlight the six Korean style trends that are huge right now in Seoul.
Micro wallets
Say goodbye to your oversized bag and hello to micro wallets.
These days, people want something that’s practical and easy and fits into your pocket. Also, people don’t really carry cash anymore!”
Awning stripes
Stripes are one of the biggest Korean style trends right now. But not just any stripes—large, thick circus stripes or awning stripes are having a moment. People love stripes and I think that this is just an iteration of a new look for it. It looks vintage but it’s tasteful.
Two-tone denim
Almost everyone in Korea wears two-tone denim. They’re working with a lot of color blocking with two different blues; it’s not the distressed denim you see everywhere.
Lavender and Argyle
You may be surprised, but your grandfather’s favorite pattern, Argyle, is trending hard in Seoul. “
The other big fabric trend? Lavender.
When you walk into any store in Seoul, there are always multiple things in lavender; it’s just a hot color for spring. I think lavender is the next millennial pink,.
Oversized blazers
People have always loved blazers, except now they’re more exaggerated.
Most of the jackets are double breasted but the shape is so exaggerated that you wouldn’t even know. A lot of people will belt them and that will change up the shape, too. Or they will wear them open.
Cooler aviators
You probably know and love Korean eyewear.
Their glasses are great.
Everyone has aviators because the details are more subtle.
