What is Korean fashion anyway? Why is it so popular among girls in their teens and twenties?

The word " Ulzzang" in "Ulzzang fashion" is a Korean word meaning a beautiful girl or a handsome boy.
It is a coined word that combines " Olgul (얼굴) " which means "face" in Korean and " Chang (짱) " which means "the best."
"Ulzzang fashion" refers to the fashion worn by beautiful girls and handsome boys.

" Olgul (얼굴) " + " Chang (짱) " = " Ulzzang (great face) "!
(However, it seems that in Korea these days it is common to use the term " Olgulcheongjae (얼굴천재)" (face genius) to describe someone with a good face.)

In addition, Korean fashion used in Japan incorporates the elements of cheapness and cuteness known as " Petit Pla ."
In other words, "Korean fashion (Ulzzang fashion)" refers to cheap and cute Korean fashion that aims to make you look like a beautiful girl.

Aside from fashion, makeup that is used to look more like a beautiful Korean girl is also called " Ulzzang makeup ."

Unlike Japanese fashion, Korean fashion has the following advantages:

• There are many unique and original designs that are unique to Korea and not found in Japan.
• The balance between color and style is perfect
• It's inexpensive, so anyone can afford it and look cute and feminine.
• The trend cycle is so fast that you never get bored.

This is probably why it is so popular and well-received among girls in their teens and twenties.

Characteristics of Korean fashion

The characteristics of Korean fashion are not simply that it is " innovative and unique ," " affordable and inexpensive ," or " cute and trendy ."
Specifically, it has the following features:

• Pastel colored items
• Light-colored, subdued items
• Items that accentuate the body line
• Logo T-shirt, hoodie, or sweatshirt
• Oversized or big silhouette tops or outerwear
• A ruffled or floral blouse or dress
• Sneakers on your feet
• Add a hat, glasses, or bag as an accent

You can enjoy Korean fashion by combining and wearing these characteristics as basic patterns.

Just looking at the characteristics, it's hard to know what exactly "Korean fashion" is.

We will introduce examples of outfits for each fashion style, so please use them as a reference ♡

Four representative styles of Korean fashion! How to wear each style

The characteristics of Korean fashion mentioned above can be divided into four representative fashion styles.

• Casual style
• Street Style
• Girly Style
• Feminine Style

Finding your favorite fashion style from among these and imitating it could be said that this is the first step to mastering Korean fashion.

Now, let's take a look at some examples of outfits to see what kind of fashion style it actually is!
Find the fashion style that suits you best ♡

Casual style - A classic style that can be worn casually

In a nutshell, casual style can be said to be the " classic style " of Korean fashion.
As the name suggests, it is a simple, casual, and unpretentious fashion style.

It is often made up of a combination of one top and one bottom item, and since there is no layering, it can be worn in a relaxed manner.

To pull off a casual Korean style, the basic items are a simple T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.
However, please note that a T-shirt and jeans set does not necessarily constitute casual style!

Short T-shirt x denim pants

A simple short T-shirt is fine, but if you want to enjoy Korean fashion, choosing a T-shirt with an accent will instantly give you a Korean fashion look.
A short T-shirt that shows a glimpse of your belly button when you raise your arms is just right without being too obvious!

For denim bottoms, you can choose either wide-leg pants with a relaxed silhouette or slim pants that make you look slim!

T-shirt x denim overall skirt

The denim jumper skirt is extremely versatile and can be worn with different tops!

We recommend choosing dark indigo denim for a more subdued look.
Overalls don't have to be paired with a skirt; pants are fine too!

The great thing about the T-shirt and denim overalls outfit is that you can enjoy various combinations.
Feel free to mix and match and create your own style!

Knitwear x Denim Pants

A classic Korean girl look that combines knitwear and denim.
Choosing straight or wide jeans will make your look more casual.

We recommend choosing bottoms that are a little high-waisted, as this will also make your legs look longer .

In the summer, choose a short-sleeved summer knit or ribbed knit for a cool look.
In winter, choosing a cable knit will give you a casual yet cute look.

Street style: Oversized tops for a cute look

Street style is a fashion style that naturally emerged from the culture of young people in the city, so it is a fashion style that is constantly changing to keep up with trends.

You can easily create a street style look by combining an oversized top or outerwear with dark colored pants.
You can also create a street fashion look by adding items in vivid colors, flashy dad sneakers, and sporty accessories.

A big silhouette top will cover your body shape and accentuate your slender legs, making your face look smaller!
You can also accentuate the slenderness of your legs by combining a larger top with slim pants such as skinny jeans or denim, or a skirt that accentuates your body line.

If you pair it with denim pants, adding accents like distressed or frayed hems will give it a more street-style feel!
By incorporating sportswear and sports-themed items, you can add a sports mix element and further enhance the street feel!

Long T-shirt x wide pants

A classic street fashion look with a loose silhouette!

Pairing it with wide pants is a recent street fashion trend.
It may be difficult to try with flashy colors, but it's easier with pale colors like gray.

Pairing your bag with a sporty or classic bag will give your outfit a more street-style feel.

Oversized hoodie x short skirt

Pairing an oversized hoodie with a short skirt is a classic street style look that also adds a touch of cuteness!
If you incorporate an outfit with darker colors overall, it will look modern and natural.

I recommend pairing a hoodie with a backpack as it makes a great combination.

Long T-shirt x Checkered Pants

The latest trend in street fashion is checked pants.
A retro feel is actually more modern!

It should be easy to try with wide checked pants in muted colors such as beige or gray.
If you want to wear it in a more Korean fashion style, try choosing something in a vivid color.

Girly style - The ultimate in femininity! Soft and cute!

Girly style is a fashion style that pursues femininity.
The main items are blouses and dresses with floral patterns, ribbons, and ruffles.

The soft silhouette design adds a touch of girliness.

Floral lace blouse x pleated skirt

The combination of a blouse and skirt is a classic girly style .
The trick to achieving a Korean fashion look is to choose a blouse with a fluffy design and ruffles or lace!
As long as the skirt isn't too short, it will give off a cute, girly vibe without looking childish.

We recommend choosing a blouse in pink or white as it is easy to combine with other items.

Floral print dress

A cute, girly look can be achieved with just a floral dress.
The sheerness makes even floral patterns look less childish and makes you look like a stylish woman!
A longer length is sufficient, but if you want to emphasize a more girly look, choosing a shorter length is a good choice.

Dresses are easy to wear and are popular with both men and women.

Lace blouse x jumper skirt

If you're feeling bored of wearing dresses and skirts in a rut, we recommend jumper skirts.
Jumper skirts, or " jumpersuka " for short, are easy to match with a variety of tops and can easily change their impression depending on the top you pair them with.

Basically, it's best to pair it with a blouse that has ruffles or lace.

Jumper skirts are great because they can be used to coordinate with the latest trends, so if you like girly style, you should have one .

Feminine style - If you're looking for a sophisticated and elegant look, this is the one for you!

Feminine style is a fashion style that pursues mature femininity.
It has an office casual vibe that goes well with pumps.

The trend is to use items that emphasize feminine body lines and silhouettes to create a mature and slightly sexy look.
However, be careful not to expose too much skin while emphasizing your body lines, as this can come across as overly sexy fashion!

Also, A-line skirts in light colors are a must.

Limiting the number of colors you incorporate into your outfit to one to three will create a calm, mature look.
Simple blouses and dresses without gaudy frills or lace will give you the perfect mature femininity!

Knit sweater x flared skirt

The trick is to make your body look slimmer with a simple, tight knit sweater!
Furthermore, bring out your cute and mature look with a soft, flared skirt that's about midi length.

If you choose light colors like pink or beige for your knitwear and skirts, you can create the impression of an unassuming, mature woman.
It's also stylish with a simple dress shirt as the top ♡

The image is " tight and fluffy " - the ultimate feminine style, the ultimate in fashion!

Simple flared dress

A simple design dress that creates a feminine style.
The high-waisted design accentuates the body line and creates a mature, feminine look.

You can create a feminine look by reducing frills, lace, and floral patterns that tend to have a girly feel.
I recommend choosing a dress that is knee-length or below, as it won't make you look too girly!

Dresses are easy to wear, so you can easily achieve a sophisticated, sophisticated look.

Sabrina neck top and A-line skirt

Pairing a simple cut-and-sew top with a long A-line skirt creates a calm and feminine look.

The Sabrina neck cut-and-sew top keeps the chest area closed and exposes less skin, so it's recommended if you want to look more mature .
Furthermore, by combining muted colors, you can create a sophisticated and mature look.

If you incorporate a cut-and-sew or skirt with just one design element, it's easy to create a Korean fashion look!

Introducing recommended Korean fashion coordination examples for each season

One way to enjoy Korean fashion is to change your fashion style and outfits with each season.
It is also recommended for those who can't decide on a fashion style and imagine how to wear it.

We've covered outfits for every season, spring, summer, autumn and winter !

Recommended Korean fashion coordination examples for spring

As the weather gradually gets warmer and more comfortable, you'll want to wear fashion that makes you feel lighter.

In the early spring, it's best to wear mainly bright colors!
It's even better if you incorporate a floral dress, a popular spring pattern, into your outfit.

Cardigan x Flared Skirt

A thick cardigan will make you look less spring-like, so a thin one is a must.

Having one cardigan will expand the range of your outfits, so find your favorite one and try coordinating your spring fashion.

Summer is the most exciting season!
I'm sure there are many children who say, " Summer is my favorite season! "

Wide strap dresses are especially recommended for the hot summer as they can be worn in a variety of ways.
The wide strap dress itself is cool and easy to wear on its own, but you can also wear a T-shirt underneath and still look stylish without getting too hot!
When the sun is strong and you don't want to get sunburned, just put on a UV-blocking summer cardigan.

If you want to limit your skin exposure, you can solve the problem by combining a T-shirt or summer cardigan!

Following on from spring , floral dresses are overwhelmingly popular again this summer ♡

One of the most popular outfits among Korean girls is a girly look that combines a bustier with a blouse.

Khaki and camouflage military jackets are highly versatile and the colors make them perfect for autumn outfits!

However, when it comes to winter staples, knitwear and outerwear are a must.

We will introduce you to some outfits that can be layered and still look cute and attractive.

Oversized boa blouson x high-neck knit x denim pants

If you're looking for a cute, girly winter look, a boa jacket is a must!
This oversized boa jacket is fluffy and loose, and has a cute, appealing look.
If you want to wear it in a girly style, we recommend pairing a beige boa jacket with a white top (such as a high-neck knit)!

White sneakers are the ultimate accessory that can be flexibly matched with dresses, denim pants, and other items.

Many compact bags can also be used as shoulder bags, and can be worn cross-body or over the shoulder.

No matter what fashion you're wearing, just carrying this bag will give you a sophisticated look and instantly complete your look .

A black mini backpack is also recommended as it can be easily matched with casual or girly styles.
