Summer has always been the season to bring out the bright colors, but the main color this summer is green.
All shades of green are on trend right now, from deep, rich emerald greens to lighthearted pastels.
The green seen here is more toned down and softer, allowing the color to give off a more elegant vibe. The couples' outfit is super cute.
A more vivid, brighter green is also suitable for the hot Korean summers. The refreshing splash of green almost brings the humidity down.
Green is such a versatile color that's perfect for the hot weather. Dress like a green-blue lake, vast mountain view, or the leafy trees this summer!
2019 Korean Summer Trends：2. Ruched Top
In the summers the outfits become a little more revealing and form-fitting, but this next trend balances the sexiness with a bit of a lovely detail.
The ruching detail on the breast highlights the female form while keeping the overall silhouette modest and girly.
Some ruched tops have bows to add a little casual flair to the outfit.
And there are all sorts of patterns that go well with ruching, such as this floral chiffon top seen above. Adds a girlish element that just screams springtime.
Ruching can be seen on dresses as well, adding femininity to more femininity.
2019 Korean Summer Trends：3. Ribbons
Ribbons have been a consistent trend since 2017, and still remains popular in 2019.
With just a simple bow, any piece of clothing is elevated to be a little more flirtatious, youthful, and cute.
A bow at the back not only serves to accentuate the waistline, but adds an element of simple femininity.

2019 Korean Summer Trends：4. Crop Tops
Crop tops have been a trend all over the world for a while now, but this year, Korea's finally caught on as well.

A crop top with a pair of jeans is such a simple yet cute outfit.
Add two trend elements together to get a top that's both cropped and ruched. That's just summer in an outfit!

Although hemp and cotton are not typical summer materials, sweater (knit) tops are on the summer 2019 trend. If you're horrified at the aspect of wearing a sweater in the sweltering heat, don't worry; the sweaters Korea's wearing are made of soft, breathable, high quality fabrics.
