As summer arrives, so do the early season rains, almost like a daily feast. Alongside comfy and cool outfits, we should also know what to wear in the rain to stay convenient and stylish. Let's take a peek at some of the most popular choices among Korean youth for these damp and misty days.
T-shirts and jeans remain the timeless go-to for those indecisive moments or unpredictable weather days, whether you want to shine under the sun or tackle the wind and rain. However, just wearing them might make you catch a cold. So, mix it up with a short fleece jacket or a cardigan - warm yet not overly bulky like a puffer jacket.
Oh, with the weather feeling a bit damp, why not already have a couple of cozy sporty sets ready? What's more intriguing in rainy-day fashion than a nice velour tracksuit? Aside from the excellent warmth of velour, mixing rain-day attire with sporty sets is favored by most Korean youth for its comfort, tidiness, and a touch of sporty chic style.
Choosing what to wear on chilly rainy days is a dilemma for many due to the thick clothes that often turn into 'ovens' after the rain, making it inconvenient to carry extra outfits. Worry not! These long-sleeved button-up shirts will be your savior during these unpredictable rainy and sunny days. Just like any other casual T-shirt, you won't have to worry about what to wear anymore.
They say fashion adapts to the weather, so wearing a skirt on a drizzly day is no longer a rarity. Of course, we can freely wear skirts, just swap those short thigh-length ones for mid-length midi skirts – the perfect length to stay warm without making us look soggy. Mix and match rainy-day attire with a blazer or a denim jacket as a 'just in case' for cooler weather, and voilà – a more stylish appearance.
What to wear on a chilly, freezing rainy day? It might be time for you to have at least one turtleneck in your wardrobe. This classic item for the cold season seems to have been worn by every Korean girl at least once. Simply because a turtleneck can be paired with jeans or a skirt, making your outfit look much more elegant and trendy.
If you've been following Korean fashion, then you know that a padded jacket is the go-to item for mixing and matching on cold, rainy days – no adjustments needed. Not intricate or fussy, the ulzzang girls opt for wide-legged pants + long-sleeved or turtleneck T-shirts to pair with the padded jacket. It creates a 'cool' outfit that's also water-resistant. You can take cues from these girls and add a knit hat or a beret to perfect your look.
Denim fashion rules the summer, while knitwear becomes the gospel of rainy days. Instead of opting for neutral tones that may make your day seem dull in line with the weather, seize the spotlight with more vibrant colors.
What seemed like a 'granny' style with knit vests was disregarded, but every time the question of what to wear in the rain arises, this item instantly comes to mind. Besides, compared to long-sleeved cardigans, knit vests bring a more youthful look. No need for overthinking the mix & match – it can be worn with a thin shirt underneath, or a long-sleeved T-shirt, and even a dress – it's versatile.
Well, just with the question of what to wear in the rain, we've found quite a few ways to mix and match cold and rainy season fashion that's both 'cold-resistant' and 'boredom-resistant.' Wishing you all to stay beautifully charming even in this early season weather!
