Koreanstyle outfits for everyday people, 100% inspiration, and a little bit fashionable!
I wonder if there are any girls who always think of Korean dramas whenever they hear or see Korean fashion. Even after all these years, it's still the same.
I've just made some adjustments to my approach to finding "meal replacements." Before, I liked to blindly follow Korean female influencers to learn their fashion sense, but now I habitually learn from ordinary Korean women .
The street style of ordinary people in South Korea is very interesting. While following the traditional Korean style, they have also created a more personal style. Unlike what people usually think, ordinary people in South Korea do not deliberately show skin when they dress.
If you frequently browse the fashion of Korean female idols, you'll find that although they all idolize celebrities, in most cases, they don't actively follow their idols' clothing styles . In most cases, the outfits worn by bloggers are the real "main force."While it's not a perfect fit, most of what needs to be covered is covered! For example, the shoulders, ribcage, chest, waist, and legs.
Some people might think that they don't show skin because of the temperature, but that's not the case. If they really liked revealing clothes, they wouldn't compromise on the temperature.As their followers know, they are quite "magical." They sleep very little but are full of energy every day, eat very little but have a great complexion, and can easily show their legs in winter if they want.
Besides avoiding showing skin, Korean ordinary people also dislike wearing various styles of tight-fitting items on the street . They prefer oversized and baggy pieces.This can be seen in many popular Korean dramas, especially school dramas. Even when there are no dress codes, characters in these dramas, whether they are in the workplace or are new to the workforce, will often choose loose-fitting items. So how do they maintain the essence of Korean style? Let's take a look.
They are able to consistently maintain the essence of Korean style dressing because the vast majority of the items they choose are basic colors , with 90% consisting of black and white and 10% consisting of gray, low saturation, and low brightness Morandi colors.High-saturation, highly fluorescent items only appear occasionally, and even if they are purchased, their usage rate and duration are very short. For them, colorful items are fast-moving consumer goods and disposable items.
Secondly, Korean style clothing emphasizes looseness without being bulky . Women who choose absolutely loose and oversized clothing tend to have slender and bony figures, while women who choose regular loose-fitting items tend to have normal body sizes.Similarly, they adjust the looseness of their clothing choices according to their body shape, which is one of the reasons why each of them has a sense of belonging in their clothing. This is also a dressing approach that everyone should learn from and emulate. In daily life, never be rigid or inflexible in your dressing.
If you gain weight and then regain it in a short period of time, you can keep your style and outfit selection the same. However, if your body changes drastically in a short period of time, whether you suddenly lose weight or gain weight, you need to change your style and outfit selection like they do. Otherwise, you will feel very constrained when wearing the items, and in most cases, you will also miss out on the "Korean style".Of course, if you don't care whether an item can match a certain style or form a connection with a certain style, you don't need to be strict with yourself. On the contrary, if you care a lot, you must follow their logic step by step.
Third, the everyday outfits of ordinary people in South Korea are very humane and down-to-earth. The items they wear will not be exactly the same as those worn by the female lead in a Korean drama, nor will they be the same as those worn by members of girl groups.Compared to the completely feminine Korean style, their outfits are more neutral and versatile. By following their ideas, you can easily align with international aesthetics. Their style templates are very similar to the American hot girl style, but there are also essential differences, making them endlessly appealing.
If you want to learn how to dress like her, you can include suits, leather jackets, wool suits, trench coats, oversized jeans, baseball jackets, as well as pure cotton oversized base layers and slim-fitting crew neck T-shirts when choosing items.Prepare these basic and durable items for autumn, and you can comfortably get through the fall . In addition, when choosing bottoms, you can choose slim-fit cropped jeans, wide-leg floor-length jeans, suit pants, and cargo pants with three-dimensional pockets. These items will make you look both beautiful and cool.
If you prefer, you can also choose black stockings and leather boots, but there is one thing to note: different shades of black stockings will have different effects when worn.Pure black is the most authentic and visually impactful style. However, pure black stockings don't have any advantage in terms of style. If you like a retro style, it is recommended to choose black stockings with brown or red tones. If you want black stockings to look cooler, it is recommended to choose black stockings with gray tones.
