Magazine:Elle Korea February 2011Title: Never Grow Up
Photographer: Kim Youngchun
Korean fashion is always very. . . noticeable. As in, when I see a girl wearing an outfit, I can immediately go, "Wait, she got that from Korea". Or I can say, "Well, she's dressed very Korean".
That's not an insult in the least. In fact, I love Korean fashion. When I see my girlfriends rocking something, I hate when I hear them say, "Oh, I got it in Korea". Because that means I can't run to the store and cop that style.
I think the best way to describe Korean fashion is "fresh". It's definitely fresh. Outgoing. You don't see a lot of black. You see a lot of layering. Simple and clean. And lots of leg.
[+] buns!
[+] cheeze balls! (yum)
[+] chunky black necklace
[-] shirts : those almost never look good on anyone and at best, you'll look like a college student who just got out of bed and threw on the closest clothing item. also, ladies, shirts that cinch or tighten around the waist are almost NEVER a good idea.
