'High teen' is a widely used term in Korea that comes from the English words 'high school' and 'teenager'.

It refers to the culture and fashion that can be easily seen in Western coming-of-age movies during the 1990s and early 2000s such as Clueless and Mean Girls.

The main theme of high teen fashion is obviously teenagers. It's how high school students used to dress in the movies.

Often sporting a pink crop top, tennis skirt, and a scrunchie, it is a mix of cute, girly, and bold.

Handbags, knee-high socks, and large accessories are also often worn to further make a statement.

Remember, the goal is to stand out the most at school!
