The reason why you need to care about clothes when you travel to Korea

There is a reason why I care about my clothes. It will help you travel to Korea

My evaluation depends on what kind of clothes I wear. And if I dress well, my behavior becomes calm and I try to be polite

This is what most Koreans think



Fine clothes make the man

Koeran proverb says, "Clothes are wings." In my opinion, this is a quote that has penetrated Korean people's psychology. I see and feel that not only the behavior of the person wearing the clothes but also the attitude toward others change depending on the appearance, type, style, and various equipments of the clothes I am wearing now.

Some people value brands when people buy clothes, and others prioritize cost-effectiveness. It's not just clothes, it's the same with other things. Brand clothes are not all good, nor are mid- to low-priced clothes only inferior to brand products. The brand or not is not important, but you have to buy and wear clothes that suit you.        

I am the same person, but my clothes change my salary and job. If my annual salary is $50,000, but when I change my clothes, people see my annual salary as $100,000. Some people are considered unemployed depending on their attire in a large city with a decent job. That's the power of clothes.

There is a good example. Although it's been a long time, wearing training clothes during reserve training changes the behavior of many people. The gentle senior also behaves roughly, lies on the floor of the education center during breaks, and does not hesitate to defecate on the street that is unimaginable in a tie-dressed suit when training and moving. I think this is all the result of the potential response from the clothes I wear.

People who dress neatly feel neat and feel that they can't be treated carelessly. One person in charge of a media company I have known for a long time meets people in a timely suit and a nice tie, no matter how hot it is in the heat of the three dog days. Every time we meet, we admire the neatness and neatness, jokingly ask if they wear suits even when sleeping, and laugh at each other. 



Let's talk more

It is also true in many cases that our feelings vary depending on the clothes worn outside the body. How dignified is the well-equipped conquest worn by military generals? If you put a few medals on your chest, you will feel reassured and reliable just by looking at them.

Speaking of military uniforms, when comparing our military suits with those of North Korean soldiers, the feeling is probably similar in common. There may be circumstances that have been far from each other for a long time, but they are so awkward and hard that even their hearts are stuffy.

Now, I think I can feel the personality of the person wearing the clothes of our ancestors, especially the clothes equipped by scholars, which can only be treated at museums and dress exhibitions. Wearing a topknot head with a manggeon and a gat, and a beautiful hanbok harmonized with colors gives off an elegant yet difficult style. There is confidence that the armor and clothing of the generals, who are irrelevant, will be able to win the battlefield.

It is very interesting to go to dress exhibitions in Korea sometimes and see the clothes of ordinary people, aristocrats, women and men, and get a glimpse of the ritual world of our ancestors along with our clothing culture.

For this reason, people give considerable value to the clothes they wear. In other words, Korean cares about clothes that much.



How much money should we spend on clothes?

Women are relatively more concerned than men. Korea's reality of having to change clothes every four seasons of spring, summer, and autumn and winter also plays a part. The cost of clothes is not small in the cost of living. Generally speaking, women's clothes are more expensive than men's. It's very expensive.

When women live in society, social costs such as clothes and cosmetics are high. It is comparable to the interest and cost of men's cars and watches. If you can buy men's clothes for $100, women should pay more than $300 or $400. Even a woman's underwear is generally preferred for more than $100. It is three or four times more expensive than men's underwear. Clothes that are many times more expensive than this, whether they are outerwear or underwear, are also sold beyond imagination. Therefore, in the eyes of women, they say, "I can see the brand that men cannot see."      



There is a style that fits well

You may have thought that the clothes don't look good on you when you look at other people's clothes. I've even thought that I'm wearing something out of fashion. Or, on the contrary, I've heard someone say that you look good in your clothes. More specifically, you may have heard of dressing elegantly and sophisticated. 

There is definitely a difference in clothing style. However, there is a "NO." For example, whether it's first marriage or remarriage, this happens before marriage. It is when a man and a woman go on a date or meet briefly in front of the house. At this time, her boyfriend comes out in a sweatsuit. Which girlfriend would like a boyfriend in a sweatsuit?

If a woman thinks her boyfriend can't dress, how would a woman feel? In fact, in the early days of a relationship, everything that is dirty looks beautiful. Such an act was only for a few months at that time. Clothing is not everything about that person, not everything about love, but when the color of the person's thoughts is different, women start to get bored with such boyfriends. 

Whenever we meet, we can continue to be polite only when we bear the inconvenience of dressing well, and that is also an expression of love for the other person. When the manners of dressing up are broken because they have become more comfortable, relationships also begin to crack.    



Should I have a lot of clothes?

There are men who dress well with three clothes. People with good looks and styles can be coordinated with a small amount of clothing. If you find your own style, it looks great. In some cases, there are people whose clothes are alive even in one suit. Some people change only shirts and ties to create their own style, even if it's a suit. If you dress according to your style, you will be told that your clothes look good on you. 

Look around. Clothes change every day, but some people don't look good in them. However, some people seem to have few clothes, but they look cool every time they see them. You should make others feel that you are a careful dresser. That's how you dress well.

In fact, people are not very interested in other people's clothing unless they have a fashion-related job. "Your clothes are stylish, your clothes have changed," Only attention is paid to those who dress strangely or look good in clothes. Nevertheless, we want to dress well. This is because I want to be told by others that I dress well.



Let's wear it according to the situation

When you go to a company with many men, people wear the same clothes to work every day. It is the same as office workers who wear uniforms to work. They only change their shirts in the same suit. In their simple lives, the philosophy of clothes is not to wear expensive products, but to dress, match, atmosphere, and stylishly in some clothes that suit them.     

There is an example like this. It's a dress that people say looks good on you even though you don't like it. There was a woman in her early 40s who attracted attention with her figure and beautiful legs. This woman likes to wear tight jeans. Sometimes I went out in skinny jeans. In the winter season, they dress up with coats. I think slacks don't look good on me, so I don't think they look good.

It was said that tight clothes were not good for her health, so she tried on the slacks she bought out of curiosity on her way to work. Contrary to what he thought, the response of the employees was unexpected. It's just that they look so good together and pretty. As her thoughts changed, she now enjoys wearing slacks.

There are middle-aged women about the same age. The woman likes to wear jeans and a white T-shirt with a checkered open shirt. She doesn't like to wear a sweater. Because she feels somewhat stuffy and has a feeling of discomfort. One day, she went out in a sweater she had received as a gift, and was told by her friends that it looked so good on her. After that, she changed her mind and wore it often, and she gained confidence and became comfortable.

You can see that your thoughts are not everything about clothes. When you wear clothes, don't stick to one style, but make changes from time to time. If the change makes you stand out, you will have one more happiness.      



Interview with an fashion designer

I've seen an interview with British fashion designers Ben Cotrell & Matthew Daintie (Cotwyler, Creative Director). Their evaluation of Korean fashion.

"Korea seemed more fashion-conscious than any other country we visited. Of course, in a positive way. Also, Koreans seem to have no hesitation in expressing themselves. They seem to be interested in new designs and designers.

I think creativity and experimental spirit are the biggest advantages of the Korean fashion market. However, unfortunately, unlike the UK, where new designs and old vintage harmonize, the focus of Korean fashion is only on new designs. Indeed, Korea seems to be leading other Asian fashion trends."



I think "Clothes are wings" is right in Korea

In the Korean fashion world these days, the feeling varies depending on the clothing and the materials used, but the feeling also varies greatly depending on how you decorate it. Therefore, clothing design goes beyond convenience and practicality to reach the level of art worldwide.

In the United States, if you dress like Korea, you ask, "Why did you care so much about it?" In the United States, style is greatly less concerned, but rather more comfortable and practical. If you are coming to Korea for a trip, I recommend you to do this. 

"It may be better to pay more attention to your clothes than usual..."
