Korean fashion is a bit different to back home. Clothes have English slogans on them that range from slightly strange to down right hilarious (e.g. an old chubby grandma wearing a t-shirt that says "skinny bitch") or that just make no sense at all. The women wear gigantic heels everywhere (including hiking), mismatched is in style in a big way (cute spotted pink dress with a red stripy backpack), there is a lot of glitter and rhinestones, and men's outfits could often be mistaken for women's.
One of the biggest differences is couples outfits. You see them everywhere. They range from matching T-shirts/jumpers to an entire matching outfit (right down to the shoes, socks and underwear). Shops downtown sell matching watches, rings, glasses, underwear, shoes, jumpers, hats, bags. Basically anything you wear you can buy to match your partner. I cannot imagine Kate and Steve, Jac and Will, Taryn and Dale, Nikita and Matt, Fraser and Ange or any other couples I know rocking up in a matching outfit but here in Korea that is normal.
We have managed to snap a few photos of couples outfit while we have been here and I will add more to this post as we get them:
 |
| Just a t-shirt |
 |
| colour coordination |
 |
| Again another t-shirt |
 |
| just the jumper |
 |
| An entire matching family! |
 |
| Brenton and I testing it out. Don't worry I wouldn't let Brenton buy it! |
love these photos (& thought I had already posted a comment on this???)
