Upcoming Fall Fashion Trends in Korea

Buzz

Summer is winding down and the weather is cooling (for those in the Northern Hemisphere).� We are officially on our last leg of high-waist cheeky shorts and sundresses.� Fall is one of my favorite seasons when it comes to fashion�it's time for layers and accessories.� When finding inspiration for the most up-to-date looks, where else to look other than one of the most fashionable countries in the world: Korea.� So, let's take a look at some of the trends for this upcoming season!�


Army Print

We typically see one "it" pattern every fall season.� Last year it was cheetah print, and this year it's camo.� While, to be honest, camo is not as versatile as cheetah, it still makes its way onto all articles of clothing: accents on sweaters, pants, backpacks, shoes, and accessories, such as scarves and backpacks.� On this army theme, we also see dark green pants and combat boots, which draw inspiration from the same thread.� The key to this trend, however, is to not go overboard with the print�one item is sufficient.�



Gold

Fall is the season of neutral colors.� For example, Jessica of Girls' Generation is the queen of nailing this color palette in her airport fashion.� This year, however, gold is also all the hype as well.� And not just when it comes to jewelry! Gold goes well with all colors, especially navy and black, which are fall staples.� We've seen many Korean fashionistas wear skirts with pops of gold�this season we saw gold on sweaters, coats, and even shoes on the runway.� It adds the perfect amount of glam to any outfit.�




Platform Combat Boots

Fall is boot season.� This is a trend in most countries: riding boots, ankle boots, and even rain boots make their way out of the closet.� One style that has made its way into the trends to watch for this season is platform combat boots (which kind of goes along with the army theme).� In Korea, people opt for these boots as a point in the outfit�they add a perfect amount of edginess to even the most basic outfits.� Platform combat boots and a chunky scarf is really all you need to be a fall fashionista.�



Fedora

Aside from the typical beanies to hide bad hair days, fedoras are a trend that make its way into the summer season and trickle into the fall.� However, ditch the natural straw color (leave that for next summer) and opt for dark colors and clothier textures.� We've seen fashionistas such as G-Dragon rock this look. �Also, bucket hats.� They're back.�




Patterned Stockings

A skirt and stocking combination is always trendy in the fall.� You can dress this look up or down.� In Korea, we've seen stockings act as a statement piece of outfits with bold patterns.� These patterns range from polka dot to hearts to designs that look like "skin tattoos."� This is the perfect addition to a simple outfit�key word simple�to add an extra flair.�




Natural Hair

In the summer we see the hottest Korean stars die their hair all types of colors.� We see colors such as purple and pink, in addition to died tips and blonde, which were in season this summer.� However, for the fall season more natural hair colors are always in season.� We see celebrities go for their natural black hair or a warm brown color.� For those that like to experiment with their hair, we've seen red hues on many Korean fashionistas.�


Dark-hued Nails

While bright colors, fun nail art, and colored tips were the trend in the summer, the trend shifts over to dark hues when it comes to nails.� Colors such as dark grey, maroon, and black are the new "it" colors.� However, nude and gold nails also weasel their way into being fashionable for this season.� Also, designs typically stay minimal�a single jewel, or a simple design is sufficient and chic for the fall season.�



Chunky Scarves

Now I know it's unnecessary to say things like coats and sweaters will be in style this fall.� They're in style every fall� And scarves, too, are always a fall staple.� However, chunky scarfs are especially popular in Korea for the fall and winter seasons.� This adds a perfect extra dimension to an outfit.� So, make sure to grab at least one for this upcoming season!�
