What Sets Korean Street Style Apart?

During Korean Fashion Week, the Seoul streets are like the ultimate fashion buffet — you get a bit of everything, and somehow, it all just works. 

Let’s spill the tea on why everyone’s low-key obsessed:

• Tradition Tossed With a Twist: It’s like Seoul grabbed traditional fashion by the collars and said, “Let’s jazz you up!” Hanboks with high tops? Only here, fam.
• Thrifty Meets Nifty: The vibe’s all about clashing the old with the shiny new. Picture grandad’s vintage blazer paired with that fresh-off-the-rack crop top. It’s a whole mood.
• Accessories on Fleek: Imagine accessories so loud, they don’t just complement the outfit; they scream their own epic backstory. That’s the accessory game here — bold, brash, and utterly unmissable.
• Rainbow Explosion: If colors had a playground, it’d be the streets of Seoul. Pastels punching neons and earth tones hugging metallics. It’s like a color wheel on steroids.
• Layer Slayer: Layering here is next level. It’s not just about warmth — it’s fashion’s version of a parfait. Each layer is a surprise element, making the outfit pop.
• Unapologetically You: At the heart of it, Korean street style is all about flying your own freak flag. Got a quirky sense of style? Seoul says, “Flaunt it.”

Flash Your Fashion: Trends To Get Inspired By

Diving into Korean Fashion Week street style is like hitting the jackpot in a fashion slot machine. Every look is a win, brimming with individuality, spunk, and a sprinkle of rebellion. And with Lewkin by your side, you’re not just following trends — you’re on your way to becoming a trendsetter. 

Here's the rundown on the looks that are setting the scene on fire:

The Oversized Everything

Bigger is better, and Korean street style is living proof. Oversized blazers, baggy tees, and slouchy pants are the holy trinity of comfort meets chic.

• Street-Style Star: Pair our Oversized Graphic Hoodie with slim-fit joggers. It's like your outfit is giving you a hug.
• Blazer Blitz: Rock an Oversized Blazer over a mini dress. Perfect for when you want to look put together but also like you didn't try too hard.
• Baggy Jean Dream: Throw on a pair of our Ripped Baggy Jeans with a tight crop top. It’s the 90s calling but with Wi-Fi.

Neon Nights

Bright, bold, and unmissable. Neon is the comeback kid of color, making every outfit pop like a highlighter in a sea of manuscripts.

• Glow-Getter: Mix a neon tank top under our Mesh Shirt for vibes that say "day-glo with an edge."
• Accessorize With Zest: A neon crossbody bag or tote can turn even the simplest outfit into a statement.
• Flashy Feet: Step up your shoe game with a pair of neon sneakers. They're like a party for your feet, and everyone's invited.

Print Parade

From traditional motifs to abstract art, prints are having a major moment. It's all about wearing your personality on your sleeve, your chest, your back — well, you get the picture.

• Pattern Play: Clash our Floral Print Mini Skirt with a striped tee for a look that’s harmoniously chaotic.
• Graphic Content: A bold Graphic Tee paired with solid-colored pants lets the tee do the talking.
• Wrap It Up: Our Printed Long Scarf adds a touch of intrigue to any outfit. Wrap, tie, or drape it — there are no rules.

Sustainable and Stylish

Eco-friendly fashion isn’t just good for the planet but your wardrobe, too. Think recycled materials, upcycled pieces, and clothing with a conscience.

• Eco-Chic: A recycled fabric tote isn’t just a bag. It’s a statement.
• Vintage Vibes: Pair a thrifted denim jacket with our Strawberry Graphic Cotton Tee for an outfit that says you care — about style and the planet.
• Green Dream: Accessorize with jewelry made from recycled materials. It's the little touches that count.

Minimalist Movement

In a world of excess, Korean street style is embracing the beauty of simplicity. Minimalist fashion is all about clean lines, neutral tones, and uncluttered looks that make a quiet yet powerful statement.

• Sleek and Simple: Combine our Solid White Tee with tailored black trousers for an outfit that’s effortlessly elegant.
• Monochrome Magic: Dress head-to-toe in one color with shades of beige, including our Long Trench Coat for a look that’s understated yet incredibly sophisticated.
• Accessories Minimized: A single Silver Cuff Bracelet on a bare wrist can be the perfect finishing touch to a minimalist outfit, proving that sometimes less really is more.

Retro Revival

Seoul’s streets are time-traveling, bringing back retro vibes with a modern twist. Think bold colors, throwback accessories, and all the nostalgic feels with a contemporary edge.

• Retro Sneakers Reimagined: Pair our Chunky Sneakers with wide-leg trousers and a crop top for a nod to the past that feels totally now.
• Denim on Denim: Rock our Vintage Denim Jacket with contrasting denim jeans for a double-denim look that’s anything but dated.
• Throwback Threads: A classic band tee tucked into our Flare Denim Jeans is your ticket to nailing that 70s rockstar girlfriend look.

Whether you're drawing from the minimalist movement for a sleek, understated look or embracing the retro revival with open arms and flared jeans, remember that fashion is your playground — and there are no rules on the swing set.
