Korean Clothing And Fashion: A Different World On Its Own

Korean fashion for women is a built around the typical Korean woman. She is petite with sharp features and a slender waist. The fashion is a combination of styles and highlights that flaunt her slender looks, draw attention to her narrow waist and make her shoulders look broader. In all senses, making her looking like the woman she is.

Experiments with mixing up prints and layering different clothing are very integral to Korean fashion. Even when you go to buy Korean clothing online, you will see that the designs are made to suit women of this type. However, that does not mean that the design cues cannot be applied to other body types.

In fact, a lot of clothing designers are no experimenting with multi-layered clothing with overtly large shirts and tights that exude a sense of innocence from the one who’s wearing it.

Korean fashion is much more about the mainstream and the runway than related regions like China and Japan. Japanese fashion is in fact more about the individual and is focused on that. On the other hand, Korean fashion is bringing back styles from back in the days and combining them with the tastes of today to bring about a very futuristic look that is for every girl to wear.

There’s generally no fixed rule Korean clothing except for the fact that it can be very visually appealing in a very ensemble-like like way. Whereas a lot of fashion sensibilities are based on a single piece of well made clothing teamed with minimal accessories, Korean fashion prides itself in creating trends that focus on small artifacts and additions in strategic places to provide a visually rich and creative outfit. This goes beyond accessorizing and is very much a part of the ‘dress’ that the woman or girl is wearing.

Even though a lot of the fashion is about bringing out the natural innocent look, a lot of western fashion influences have also infiltrated the industry. Hence you will see segments dedicated to fetish-wear, punk, emo and more. However, even these are not direct imports. Rather they are adapted in to the Korean fashion sensibilities made in to their own unique looks.
