우리 “길거리 스타일” 컬럼은 개인의 패션 선택만 벤치마킁하는 것아니라, 찰라리 대표적인 길거리에서 보일 수 있는 패션 장르를 잡으려고 해요.

“Street Styles” tracks not just individual fashion choices, but tries to capture fashion that is representative of types of fashion genres visible on the Korean streets.

We ran into these two young ladies in Hongdae, the neighborhood that is home to a reknowned art school and a vibrant youth and arts scene, and who looked interesting because of their matching hat, bag, necklace and shoe styles. Their sporty style also reminded me of cheerleaders.

These two are typical of several different trends: the vanity name necklaces popularized by Sex and the City, sports team hats, oversized bags, athletic gear tops, short shorts, and Converses. Casual and tomboyish, while a bit risqué and playful. An interesting look, to say the least.

They told me they were hotel management students on their way home from a training shift at a local restaurant; wow. They looked pretty fresh and fashionable for having completed a long, hard shift on their feet taking orders and running back and forth!

You keep working it, girls!
