when the humidity’s high, and the temperature is _hot_, Seoul bares skin. Gentlemen sport sporty shorts, and ladies let their legs breathe in skirts.
Our favourite trend is the calf-length trouser. Only just arriving in Australia, this uncomfortable-in-winter style has stuck around for summer in Seoul. We approve!
The ajumma invented power clashing, both in fashion and in bargain hunting, but she understands context. Florals in earth tones or pastels for casual daywear, matched with sensible flats for shopping. But when she goes off-road with her peers, the aunty bumps her colours up into the hi-vis, saturated range. Fabrics are water-resistant, pockets are zippered, and pouches are many.
Truly, this is an aesthetic for the age.
