Sleek, Playful Style From the Streets of Seoul
Photo: STREETPER
While Mexico City’s street style is color-happy and Northern Ireland’s street style is neo-grunge, the fashionable youth of Seoul take an entirely different approach.
Our photographer found sleek, minimalist silhouettes livened with playful accents: Playboy-bunny socks, Moschino shower shoes, a simple red bandanna. Click ahead to see South Korea’s models, photographers, and students demonstrate how to have fun with the basics.
