We know K-pop, Korean series that have made a lot of noise like Squid Game or Crash Landing on You on Netflix. Korean fashion is less well known, and yet the country is at the forefront in this field! Would you like to take a little detour to the Korean peninsula to explore the new trends?
The Nude Look
The nude look is not just reserved for makeup! Nude clothing is synonymous with elegance and simplicity, as Korean fashionistas have understood by layering pale-colored blouses and jackets, embellished with a shoulder bag or accessory to add a touch of color to the ensemble.
No need to opt for a total nude look to make an impact, on the contrary! Nude is the perfect color to play the stylist, as it is a good starting point for the ideal look. Korean fashion loves white or black, which go very well with nude pants or sets. Nude can also be used in shades to play with the tone-on-tone card. Well handled, tone-on-tone enhances an outfit with class and adapts to all moments of the day, whether at the office or in the evening, nude tone-on-tone will never let you down.
Loose and Well-Cut Clothing
Perfection lies in the details in Korean fashion, and a well-cut garment is the guarantee of wearing it well. The Korean look stands out for its elegant style and clean cuts.
Starting with a basic, the slightly long blazer that casually accompanies a skirt or set.
The jumpsuit is making a comeback, in rather autumnal colors like gray or petrol blue. It is often accompanied by a cap, a nice bob, or a touch of bolder makeup to give it a boost.
The Basics
The trench coat never goes out of style in Korea. The famous beige garment is always popular and is surely a basic fashion item in our wardrobes. For a little more originality, it is also available in carmine red or orange, or even brighter in chrome yellow.
Another basic that never leaves our wardrobe: high-waisted clothing and its thousand ways to wear it, in jeans, pants, skirts, or shorts. High-waisted cuts reign in Korea!
And finally, the detail that perfects a look: the half-tucked shirt to give it an asymmetrical aspect.
Puffy Sleeves
This is the current trend, and with the arrival of spring, puffy sleeves will be making a comeback. Worn in blouses, they give a romantic look to high-waisted pants. Add a white shirt with puffy sleeves to add a touch of originality to a classic outfit. Dresses are not exempt from the trend. Puffy sleeves bring spring dresses to life, giving them a romantic and light touch. They also go very well with a black dress for a more rock ‘n’ roll look. On a long dress, puffy sleeves add a nice traditional touch. They can also be worn on an oversized dress. In short, as you may have understood, this is the trend from Korea that we will see blooming everywhere in 2022, so it’s time to get into it.
Colors!
Korean fashion is also joyful and colorful. Colors, yes, but to be handled with precision. From traditional outfits to Seoul Fashion Week runway shows, Korean fashion uses colors tastefully and lightly. While traditional Hanbok is rather fond of bright colors, the new trend is inspired by a romantic and country-style vibe, where pale pink and pale yellow are very popular.
