Gathered Clothing

Dresses, shirts, or tops can be worn. Koreans tend to wear gathered clothes. This is especially true in the summertime. Garments of this kind add a certain complexity and attractiveness to your look that would otherwise go unnoticed. Such items are elegant, creative, and comfortable at the same time. This garment looks like crumpled paper at chest height, which is an easy way to identify it. It actually looks better than it sounds. The garments are very versatile and many of them have off-shoulder sleeves. This makes them a great summer choice.

Oversized Button-Down Shirts

Long-sleeved button-down shirts will always be a South Korean favorite, no matter how hot the weather. This garment is often oversized or loose with a thin material so that Koreans can still feel fresh during the summer without exposing much of their skin. Often, an oversized button-down shirt is worn plainly as shown by actress Shin Min Ah, but it has become fashionable to use it as a cover for an ensemble to make it appear more conservative. As an example, Joy wears this piece over her ribbed crop top in Red Velvet. Regardless of whether she used it only for stylistic reasons, we can’t deny that girls in a modest country practice it often, despite the heat.

Denim Bottoms & Overalls

Even at this time of year, denim will always be in style. South Koreans’ fool-proof summer outfits include ripped denim shorts as a classic piece of clothing. On a hot summer day, did you know that you can also rock a pair of straight-leg denim pants? It’s easy yet stylish to put together a casual summer outfit with Yeri’s faded denim jeans and a simple top from Red Velvet. However, you can copy BLACKPINK’s Lisa’s youthful look with denim overall shorts and sleeveless top if you want to show some skin. Almost any summer outfit can be paired with denim pants, shorts, skirts, dresses, or jumpsuits since denim is so versatile.

Cropped Knit Cardigan

Summer is the season for knit cardigans to channel a cozy and modest look. However, even though some may argue that these clothing pieces are too hot for the season and wouldn’t provide sufficient protection against the sun’s rays, they serve as an excellent complement to a dainty summer dress like TWICE’s Dahyun. In addition to serving as a loose cover-up for semi-revealing outfits, knit cardigans are also excellent for layering during the season. Cropped cardigans are more suitable for the summer heat, especially when it’s hot outside. In addition to this piece, Yeri paired a plain white top with her look. Summertime is also a great time to wear this thin material.

Puff-Sleeved Tops & Dresses

With their presence on almost any feminine outfit, puff sleeves are a popular Korean summer fashion trend. Wendy from Red Velvet wears a square neck top with puff sleeves, and Lisa from BLACKPINK wears a sweetheart neck dress with puff sleeves. Their outfits also add character to any plain piece of clothing. A shirt or dress with these sleeves often has feminine features such as ruffles, florals, and light hues. It is most commonly found in baby doll dresses, poplin blouses, and button-down shirts, so you can also include these in your summer wardrobe.

Colorful Crop Tops

Every country, including South Korea, has its own foolproof summer staple: colorful crop tops. Even though crop tops aren’t the most common sight in a conservative country like South Korea, it’s safe to say that Korean idols like BLACKPINK’s Jennie and Red Velvet’s Yeri are pushing the crop top trend. In the summer, crop tops are ideal for showing more skin and feeling fresher. Add a twist to your outfit by incorporating summer colors such as green, blue, yellow and even hot pink. For the perfect amount of chic, pair your crop top with denim shorts or a drapey skirt if it already screams summer.
