It started when Mark said that he didn't have anything to wear on his flight back to Manila. The clothes that he brought to Seoul were just enough for the entire stay, and his only option was to wear shorts on the flight back to Manila.
Since wearing shorts in Seoul's currently cold and rainy weather was a "no can do," this was an opportunity for me to put together something for Mark.
Myeongdong was just 5 minutes away from our hotel, so the task was easier. My game plan was to first check out my go-to local brands - SPAO, Top Ten and 8-Seconds. As back-up, there are the non-Korean brands like Uniqlo and Muji.
Since Seoul fast-fashion brands are now selling Spring clothes, it was easy to find something that's appropriate both in Seoul and Manila. Something light, easy-to-wear and versatile. And with our current location as inspiration, something "Oppa" would also be a great idea.
And voila!
The first thing that I found was the pair of light khaki slacks from Top Ten. The fabric was super soft, the silhouette was breezy, but with pleats in front to make it look sharp. The striped top is from Muji, and the cardigan was something that Mark brought with him. Actually, that gray cardigan was part of my consideration set when buying this outfit.
After buying everything and putting it on the hanger, it really did give out that K-drama vibe that I'd see in those Netflix shows.
With that, Mark came back to MNL looking like a cool, Korean.
