우리 “길거리 스타일” 컬럼은 개인의 패션 선택만 벤치마킹 하는 것이아니라, 차라리 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 passed by these three ladies twice in Hongdae before asking them to pose, which we did because they ran the other side of the expected gamut of Hongdae style, as the neighborhood isn’t just filled with super fashionistas, punk rockers, and partygoers. It also has a lot of more mainstream folks who put effort into their fashion in their own way. And here, I liked how the conservative, flowered minidress anchors the three on one side, while the in-style, more form-fitting shirt dress does the same on the other, even while the friend in the middle is completely casual and carefree.

Love your dresses, girls. The two of them are trendy, but conservatively so. Gladiator-esque sandals, but not the She-ra spike heel sendups, but shoes more practical and literally down-to-earth. Pleasant, comfortable. But before leaving Hongdae, we bumped into someone in an outfit a bit more along the lines of what you’d expect in a Hongdae-esque sense.

Loved the necklace, designer tee top, big earrings, and the trendy tights with the sporty stripe on the side. Everything was just a little different. And she had the humor and attitude to match!

Finally, we spied these two young ladies walking hand-in-hand, but sporting such opposite styles.

One thing you’ll notice about Korean girls these days is the intense colored contacts, or patterns in contacts, or the contacts designed to increase the apparent size of the pupil to a solid black. The effects are numerous.

Although older Koreans still have trouble believing it, tattoos are actually becoming quite popular amongst the young.

The two in this picture were about as different stylistically as they could be, in kind of a femme/homme way.
