A must-have item in winter is a long coat. It's an item that keeps you warm and makes you look luxurious. A few years ago, V-neck coats were in style, but collared long coats have been very popular this year.
It's a little girlier than a V-neck. The coat is slightly oversized, making it easy to wear with many other types of clothes.

One of the most popular trends in Korea this year is matching two items with different styles, like a cap with the coat. It makes you look very youthful!

Chelsea boots have returned to the winter fashion scene in Korea in 2021. Last year, we saw more pointed or square toe boots, but this year, round-toed Chelsea boots with platform soles have stolen the show.
Both long and short Chelsea boots are trending. The thick, platform sole helps you look taller and are comfortable to walk in all day. Definitely buy these cute boots and step up your look!
