Korean Male Fashion Trends in 2022
Think a baby blue striped shirt paired with medium wash jeans and a navy jacket or black combined with varying shades of gray.
To pull off the monochrome look, consider wearing a bold patterned backpack or shoes with a bright accent to break up the colors, especially when wearing all black.
You can’t go wrong with a genuine lambskin leather jacket like this one from Everlane, and no man’s wardrobe is complete without a pair of all-black sneakers that will seamlessly transition from the gym to happy hour.
Neon
At the opposite end of the fashion spectrum from monochrome, we have this head-turning trend. Neon has been popping up in Korean fashion for some time now and it seems it will continue to enjoy cult-like popularity.
This streetwear trend inspired by k-pop works best when it’s kept to one statement piece, such as a jacket or shoes. Even if you’re typically a conservative dresser, the neon trend is a great way to experiment and elevate your otherwise ordinary uniform of jeans and a tee.
We get it, the neon trend isn’t for the faint of heart. The key here is to be confident, however you choose to wear this one. These Alexander McQueen sneakers are a great way to dip your toe into the trend (pun very much intended), or go all-in with this solid tee from ASOS. For the price, you don’t have much to lose.
Logomania
Logos have been gradually getting bigger and bolder, particularly in Korean street fashion.
Clothing manufacturers are cranking out merchandise to keep up with the demand, and while activewear and outerwear seem to have the lion’s share of logo-laden pieces, in-your-face logos are making appearances on everything from basic t-shirts to briefcases.
The only hard and fast rule when it comes to logomania is to stick to wearing one brand at a time.
In order to successfully pull off the logomania trend, avoid wearing multiple brands’ logos and go minimal on the other parts of your outfit.
