Out with the old and in with the new, as the saying goes. Based on what the runways of fall fashion shows indicated, 2020 is going to be an epic year for men’s fashion, and one of the year’s biggest trends comes to us from Korea. The ultra-hip, streetwear-inspired fashion is bold and edgy, eclectic and avant garde, and it follows exactly zero rules.

While that’s the biggest appeal of Korean fashion trends — the utter lack of do’s and don’ts — it also makes it difficult to define. What we can say about it is that Korean men’s fashion is almost painfully chic.

Whether you’re just looking for a little new year outfit inspo or want to overhaul your entire closet, here’s a guide to this year’s best Korean fashion trends for men and how to make them work for you.

Athleisure

Defined by clothing items that can just as easily be worn for exercising as a day date, the athleisure trend has been gaining steady popularity for the past few years and doesn’t show signs of slowing any time soon. Korean fashion is no exception and in fact, athleisure is incredibly well-executed in South Korea, where high fashion pieces are expertly paired with casual basketball shorts, baseball caps, and joggers. The style is genius, really: Comfortable yet stylish enough to go literally anywhere.

To make the athleisure look your own, balance casual gym-ready pieces with something slightly more refined. Try pairing these classic Adidas three-stripe joggers with a smart Barbour waxed cotton jacket.

Monochrome

Dressing in one hue from head to toe is decidedly cool-guy chic and appears completely effortless, so it’s no wonder monochromatic outfits are the unofficial uniforms of Korean men.

Although by technical definition monochrome means one color, take some liberties here. Your individual outfit pieces don’t have to be the same shade, and you can mix in patterns from the same color family as well.
