Styling Tips for Korean Streetwear

Mix and Match

Korean streetwear is all about the art of mixing and matching different clothing pieces and styles. Layering is key, and don't be afraid to mix prints, textures, and colours. A bucket hat with a bomber jacket? Why not? Rule-breaking is where the magic happens.

Keep it Loose

Many Korean streetwear brands espouse an oversized or relaxed fit, reflecting a carefree, effortless style. When in doubt, size up. Pair baggy trousers with our chic Hoodie in Sand with Chinese Dragon Print for a look that's as comfortable as it is on-trend.

Incorporate Statement Pieces

While the base of your outfit can be monochrome or neutral, statement accessories or bold prints can elevate your look. Consider adding the White Short Sleeved T-shirt With 80's Geometric Design into your rotation for a throwback vibe that's sure to turn heads.

While jetting off to Seoul might not be an option right now, many Korean streetwear brands have online stores or stock their collections globally. Websites like W Concept, SSENSE, and even our shop at Dream But Do Not Sleep offer a variety of options to keep your wardrobe fresh and future-forward.
