Picture this: A rainy winter afternoon, your cosy bed, your favourite blanket, hot chocolate and you in your ugliest but comfiest combination of clothes. You could be watching a netflix series or reading a book, and being the happiest version of yourself. Tempting, isn’t it? None of us wants to leave home when it is chilling outside.
But, let’s face the reality. While it would be lovely to hibernate throughout the winters, most of us have responsibilities to take care of. As adults, we have to go to work or show up in the real world. And when we have to be responsible, why not make it fun, at least on the outside?
Girls, and now even boys, take outfit inspiration from stars. How one looks and dresses up, matters. Whether at work or at college, fit determines a person’s position in the environment.
Korean Fashion on the Rise
Of late, Korea has gained a lot of popularity amongst the youngsters, be it in drama or fashion. Now, winters are synonymous with edgy, effortlessly stylish outfits that also keep you warm. From trench coats to faux fur jackets, there’s a style for everyone, for every occasion.
This blog covers 10 of the most loved and desired winter fashion ideas that can not go wrong these winters.
Comfortable Athleisure
The Korean trend of wearing Comfortable Athleisure has now reached different corners of the world. It looks sporty, cool and is comfortable. People wear this outfit at leisure, even in a non-athletic situation. It is a mix of different casual fits from the wardrobe and there is no rule as such.
Loose Fitted Bottoms
Skinny jeans are out and loose fitted bottoms are back. Flared pants and relaxed bottoms are a fashion statement, once again. You can easily be pair with tucked in cardigans.

Turtlenecks
If you’re looking for a versatile fashion item, it is a turtleneck. A piece of clothing has a turtleneck when it has a high-neck collar that needs to be rolled down. It looks basic, but is actually very versatile. This keeps the neck warm and adds a chic vibe to the outfit. You can pair it with pants or skirts and the look gets elevated instantly. If it’s too cold outside, a jacket can also be worn over it.

Quilted or Puffer Jackets
What was earlier just a piece of clothing meant to protect from the chills is now a fashion symbol. As the name suggests, these are not just jackets. These, warmer than normal jackets, are filled with duck or goose feathers to serve the purpose. The visible quilted sections are puffy and hence the name. While a puffer jacket in neutral colours is an absolute go-to, you can pick a bold and bright colour to stand out.

Faux Fur
This is yet another essential in the Korean winter fashion wardrobe. A faux fur is ideal for cold climates because of the warmth it offers. You can either wear it over a jean for a casual outing or over a midi skirt for an elegant, poised look.

Accessories – The Final Touches
Any outfit’s look is amplified when it is accessorised, and so happens in KFashion. Accessorising winter fits with hats and scarves takes the fashion game a notch higher. While they essentially provide the needed warmth, they have become more important from the style point of view.
Adding a beret hat gives a Parisian look to the outfit while a beanie is for a more casual thing.
Oversized scarves add on an additional layer of warmth and are worn over an outfit to give a more put-together look.

Winter fashion, and more precisely, Korean winter fashion, is all about staying warm while looking stylish, presentable and feeling comfortable. Koreans have a strong sense of fashion that is now reaching worldwide. They can look even the laziest fit, such as a loose bottom and an oversized cardigan, look stylish.
The good part is that winters are no more about the gloom, but about fashion. From man to female, from teenagers to adults, Korean fashion has become a fashion benchmark for all.
