For a couple of years now, everything Korean, from K-pop, fashion to television has been in vogue. When it comes to fashion, we're big fans of the aesthetic, which looks classy, sleek, and super chic. It is the perfect blend of practicality and style with figure-flattering ensembles and distinctive statement pieces. If you're someone who is a fan of Korean fashion and want to bring that into your wardrobe, here are ten Pinterest-approved outfits for you to recreate the looks!
#Trending: 10 Outfits To Begin Your Chic Korean Fashion Journey
Outfit 1: Street Style 101
The first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Korean fashion are the cool, well-dressed people we see walking the streets of Seoul on our Instagram pages. Korean street style, popularised by K-pop idols, is a distinct sense of style that looks super comfortable but also super fashionable. To channel this style, we'd suggest throwing on a pair of cargo pants, a figure-fitting crop or ribbed top with a pair of comfy sneakers. When it comes to accessories, you can play around depending on the colour of clothes or the amount of stuff you have to carry. For a look like this, we'd suggest carry a moon bag. For hair accessories, never shy away from claw clips for the summers.

Outfit 2: Day Date
When it comes to a low-key, no-fuss day date, we'd suggest wearing a tennis skirt with a collared top for a more breezy yet "dressed up" look. Pair this up with casual sneakers, long socks, and a bag to match! It's a look that can be flattering on everyone and channels a very 'Mean Girls' vibe, which we love.

Outfit 3: Work Wear But Make It Fashion
For a casual work wear outfit, you can never go wrong with baggy pants and a top. We're in love with the viral Korean baggy pants by Off Duty and cannot thing of a better formal yet chic and comfortable cut for pants. Pair this up with shoes of your preference, though if your office is all about dressing casually, we'd suggest you pair your fit with the comfiest of Birkenstocks. Complete the look with a huge tote bag that can your whole world.
Pro Tip: Alternatives to Birkenstocks, and alternatives to the Dior tote bag.

We're huge fans of anything that is related to the academia fashion! This fit easily reminds us of a light academia look with a flowy checkered dress paired with a a cool denim jacket and a cap to match. It's perfect for a coffee date, college, or a trip to the mall. With summers knocking on our doors, we love how comfy and airy this look is while also looking super polished and chic.

Outfit 5: Casual Chic
Korean fashion itself is a style sensibility that is defined as casual chic. In our heads, this outfit comes closest to the perfect blend of casual and chicness. We'd suggest pairing a white or solid-coloured T-shirt with a flowy maxi dress that can be worn pretty much everywhere. It's flattering on all body types, and is easy to style too!

Outfit 6: Formal Work Wear
When it comes to formal wear, you can never go wrong with a crisp white oxford shirt, and a well-tailored blazer with pants to match. This is not particularly Korean, but more of a globally recognised look, hence we chose to make it a complete Uniqlo look owning to how similar the fashion silhouettes of Korean and Japanese clothes are. Pair this look up with snazzy loafers and you'll be sorted. For your hair, opt for a sleek look.

Outfit 7: Date Night
We get it, date nights are exciting but they're also just as stressful when it comes to deciding what to wear. A quick scroll on the internet for Korean date night fits, we noticed a ton of black, with fit and flare silhouettes. Hence, for this look we've chosen a stunning mesh detail top from Baesic, and a flared faux leather skit. Pair this up with softer feminine heels and the look is complete! To add more pizazz, we'd suggest carry an accent wallet that is either black or something funkier.

Outfit 8: Street Style 101 2.0
We're all aware that Korean fashion truly popped off because of its impeccable street style. So, we I guess we owed it to add another super cool street style look to the mix. For street style 2.0 we'd suggest you keep it simple with some oversized joggers, a white crop top, sneakers, and of course, to add that extra oomph, a super cool belt bag from Haands Free.

Outfit 9: K-Pop Idol Fit
There's no doubt that Korean street style was popularised by K-pop idols, making it a super striking sense of style that looks fashionable, and is also comfortable. Taking inspiration from the OGs themselves, for a K-pop idol-inspired look we suggest a cute pleated mini skirt with a blingy top. Pair this with buckled shoes along with socks or stockings and you'll be sorted. You can easily wear this for a night out, be it for casual drinks or even a date! If it gets chilly, don't shy away from an oversized denim or leather jacket.

Outfit 10: Autumn Ready
Since we're already in the second leg of the year, it's only fair that we also dress the part. For an autumn, slightly nippy weather situation, we suggest going for an all neutral beige look with an oversized sweater and an oversized shirt underneath. For the paints, you can never go wrong with baggy Korean pleated pants that not only look super cool, and are comfortable, but also are very fashionable. This look can literally be worn everywhere from work to a trip to the mall. Pair this with a moon bag or an oversized tote depending on where you're going. For the shoes, boots or sneaks will do the trick.
Pro Tip: Bags like the Dior book tote.
