Welcome to "Outfits From Around the World," where I take inspiration from styles around the world, and create luscious outfit designs from them!
Welcome to the first post in my new series: "Daily Outfit Inspo From Around the World!" In this line of blog posts I'll take captivating styles from around the world, and put them into everyday outfits you can wear!
Starting off we have this lovely Korean inspired outfit which I've lovingly dubbed, the "Korean café" aesthetic. This is mainly tailored for women, but with a few adjustments, men can wear it as well. And if it's not your style, that's fine too! I've got tons of ideas for both men and women planned, so stick around and you might find something you like!
Elements of Korean Fashion
Korean fashion is a broad spectrum and I'd love to tackle more outfits from the country in the future, but for today, we're taking a look at a cute and casual style popular with young women and teens.
While there isn't an official name for this style, I've taken to calling it "café style" due to the aesthetic matching, well, coffee shop colors.
Basically, we're talking beiges, browns, whites, and caramels, which make for a cozy vibe overall. The best season to wear it is in fall and winter, though it totally matches summer colors as well (it might be a bit hot though.)
I recommend this style to those with small and petite builds, and to those who are going for a cutesy looking wardrobe. While this design isn't for everyone, those who love it will look absolutely adorable in the outfit I've got planned.
So, without further ado, here's what you'll need for a simple Korean café style outfit:
Korean Café Aesthetic Outfit
FTCayanz Women's Sweater Vest Button Down Cable Knit Cardigan Outwear
Perhaps my favorite part about this outfit is this beige-colored sweater vest. It's a versatile accessory that'll help keep you warm in the chillier seasons, and can be paired with so many other outfits that you'll probably want to get two.
Note: it doesn't come with the dress shirt in the picture (which is what I thought at first), so keep that in mind if you're going to get it.

In reality, any white or light colored dress shirt will do, so you can probably skip this one if you've already got one. Just in case you don't, my recommendation is this linen button down, which is quite comfortable and savvy looking.
Lee Women's Ultra Lux Comfort with Flex Motion Trouser Pant
Once again, there's a good chance you already have a pair of khaki's or beige trousers, so there's no point in spending extra money on stuff you can already improvise with.
That said, if you're looking for a high-quality and good looking pair of tan pants, then look no further. The smooth, sleek style of this pair goes with any formal attire or Korean outfit you might have in mind, and I think it's an essential addition to any all-encompassing wardrobe.

While these MUSSHOE flats aren't the best shoes you'll ever get, they're high quality enough to last a few years and are pretty dang economical if I do say so myself. If you're looking to splurge, then go for the higher-priced stuff, but these will always do just fine in my opinion.
Optional Accessories
Now that we've got the essentials out of the way, it's time to customize the outfit a little! Here are a few accessories that aren't vital to the designs structure, but make it even cuter:
Wheebo French Beret Hat, Reversible Solid Color Cashmere Beret Cap for Womens Girls Lady Adults
Sadly, berets and hats aren't for everyone. They don't match every haircut, and can negatively contrast some facial shapes.
If you're someone who does look good in them, then you should definitely take the advantage you have and sprint far away with it.
Anyway, this beret is super cute and you should totally try it out if it's your thing!
WantGor Women Corduroy Tote Bag
Tote bags are always in style, and if you're looking for one to match this outfit, then you're in luck!
This one is simple and matches the Korean Cafe's color scheme marvelously.
Bonus: Cute Plush Bears Keychains!
If you're getting the tote bag, might as well get these fluffy bear key chains as well! They're uber cute, and match the Korean aesthetic to the max!
Wrapping Up!
That's it folks! I hope yall enjoyed the outfit and will stick around for more. I plan on creating a weekly newsletter soon so that it's much easier to keep track of these daily outfit posts, so stay tuned for that!
