Seoul Fashion Week is steadily receiving more attention in the international fashion sphere. It’s not just the runway that has journalists’ and editors’ attention, it’s also the chic fashionistas walking the streets of Seoul. Several trends arose from the city this spring — some are easily achievable, others might require a dash of boldness. Either way, learn these color and pattern trends from Seoul, and you’ll look like a fashion aficionado of the world.

Monochromatic White

• Wear white head to toe this spring, as seen on the runways and streets of Seoul. This season, designer Lee Sang-hyun, for the menswear label Leigh, displayed classic tailored blazers and trousers, both in gleaming white, paired with black sandals. But this trend isn’t reserved for males alone. Many stylish females were photographed in the streets of Seoul wearing slim white pants and white shirts layered under white blazers. If you dabble with this trend, avoid being lost in a sea of white by wearing one piece in either a bold color or black.

Deconstructed Black

• Don’t store your winter blacks away just yet. Add a bit of rebellion and an urban vibe to your spring wardrobe by layering a few of your black pieces. A long deconstructed vest with a hem that falls at the knee might be all a male needs to lend a rebellious spin to a black T-shirt and straight trousers. Ladies can dress like a stylish Seoulite in a long sleeve T-shirt layered over a long sheer dress, or skirt with an asymmetrical hem. Accessorize your dark and rebellious outfit with canvas or leather lace-up shoes and you’ll look as sleek as the models from Lee Ju-young’s Resurrection show. Just ensure that everything you’re wearing is black of course.

Males in Pastels

• Men, try a pastel hue. Better yet, try two. The monochromatic trend needn’t be reserved for black and white alone. We all know that pastels are perfect colors for women to wear in spring, but many men shy away from soft hues. Men, take a cue from Korean designers Ko Tae-yong or Kim Kyung-min, and embrace soft hues from head to toe. As a rule of thumb, ensure that each separate piece is well tailored. Even if you’re wearing a hooded sweatshirt, ensure that it fits properly. Also, limit the number of patterns. If your shirt is patterned, pair it with a solid colored short and vice versa. By keeping your outfit tailored and sleek, you’ll ensure you’ll look sophisticated and masculine in pastels this spring.

A Bold Splash of Prints

• Step out in a bold print for spring. Asian fashion is known for its alternative take on fashion’s rules, and Seoul is no exception. Bold patterns were splashed on the side of men’s trousers and all-over prints decorated women’s sheer maxi skirts on the runways. The trend took to the streets in the form of simple tailored outfits shaken up by colorful patterned pants.
