What is the hottest fashion in Seoul for 2022?
Korean fashion has become popular in many countries. This is partially thanks to K-Pop, K-Dramas, and K-Beauty exposing billions of people to South Korea, Korean fashion has put Seoul on the map as a fashion capital in the world. What’s good about Korea, especially in Seoul, is that you can find what you want, when you want. Seoul is a trendy city that sets the trend!
The Hongdae Street Style
Though this particular style isn’t limited to those hanging out in the Hongdae area, it is the most common among people in their 20’s. It is a sort of relaxed street fashion or Korean streetwear, mixing together the aesthetics of rock and hip hop. The top part of clothing pieces are often oversized or baggy, though men also like relaxed fit pants and shorts to go with it. You can easily shop for the look in many of the stores in Hongdae’s streets.
The Gangnam Style
Gangnam is an affluent area with lots of fancy restaurants, plastic surgery clinics and high-end clothing stores. Gangnam style consists of a dandy look, preppy look and luxurious look. It’s the look that most girls in Seoul tend to like. It’s a clean look from head to toe. Rather than being unique, you sort of just blend, topping off the look with a brand name jacket like Moncler or a Chanel bag.
Current trend in Seoul
Now that I’ve mentioned the two main styles, let’s talk briefly about trends in Seoul.
Oversizing
This fashion trend is exactly as it sounds. Korean’s, especially women, adorn clothing noticeably larger than their frame. It is both a casual and popular attire and creates a “relaxed” and low-effort appearance. Combining the relaxed fit look with something more fitted is a common mashup. For example, a loose top with fitted jeans. You can see this style almost anywhere in South Korea.
