Packing for long-haul vacations can be a nightmare. When you’re traveling to the other side of the world, especially for the first time, deciding what exactly you should pack (and what you should leave behind) can be a daunting task.

Well, don’t worry CF readers, because I am going to be embarking on my first ever long-haul trip in the coming days.

As you can tell by this post’s title, I’m going to be flying for the first time to one of my dream destinations: Seoul, South Korea! If you’ve been following my posts, you’ll know that I’m a huge K-pop fan and enthusiastic about Korean fashion, beauty, and food, so this trip feels very much overdue.

With that in mind, today I’m going to be taking you through the key items I’m bringing to keep my style looking fresh on my Seoul vacation.

This 11-piece South Korea packing list contains all the pieces you need for a trendy, feminine and functional vacation wardrobe.

(Note: to make this post as accurate as possible, almost all of the pieces included are clothing items I actually own. If the product was out of stock, I chose a similar one from the same store wherever possible.)
