Winter is here and if you're looking for a warm, fashionable outfit, refer to our list of 2021 Korean winter fashion trends!


Long Coat

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!

Short puffer jackets have been very popular since last year. If black, beige, and gray were popular last year, pastel-colored puffers have been more popular this year. You'll see many different colors like sky blue, gray, pink, cream, mint green, etc. The various colors make winter feel less gloomy!

In addition to shiny jackets, ones with square pockets are also popular and they have a more sporty, active look.

Another style of short puffer jacket in style is a padded jacket with a fuzzy collar. If you want a less boxy look, you can choose a jacket with a belt.

Tracksuit sets are always super popular in the fall and winter. Last year, sweatpants and sweatshirts with stripes down the side were in style, but the basic design has come back into fashion this year. 

Young people often wear sweatpants and a matching one-color sweatshirt layered over a long, white T-shirt to add dimension. The hot colors this year are cream, green, orange, turquoise, black, and gray for both men and women.

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!
