With all eyes on Korean fashion, Korea never fails to captivate the world with its diverse aesthetics and unique accessories. In fact, a current trend occurring within the city of Seoul has been to travel back in time. Particularly for Koreans, back to their youthful high school days when school uniforms were the norm and focusing on one’s academics was key. Therefore, Koreans and even Korean celebrities have been incorporating their nostalgic times by wearing preppy clothing as everyday wear. So, let's head to Korea and study up on these academia-inspired styles!
--------------------------
1. School Uniform Sets:
Firstly, Korean school uniforms as mentioned are significant inspirations to Korea’s preppy garments. Namely, due to its seasonal variations which are divided into two seasons. Summer and winter. Therefore, during the warm humid summers, uniforms consist of lighter materials, short sleeve shirts, skirts and breathable pants. While the colder seasons consist of a vest, jacket and thicker garments.
2. Classy Trousers:
Another aspect within the academia trend taking over Korea are wide-legged trousers. Since these trousers are vastly available within various prints and colors. Such as plaid print, soft corduroy, etc. This garment is truly a necessary staple for every closet.
3. Preppy Knits:
Similarly to Korea’s winter school uniforms, Korean knitwear will make anyone stand out because of their cozy oversized cardigans, snug turtlenecks, warm sweaters and much more.
