Styles may come from different aspects, traditions, peers, exposure, or from fashion. It may and can give confidence to those people who wear comfortable clothes of their choice.

If you want to visit South Korea, make sure that you dress properly to avoid drawing negative reactions or side comment.

Wearing sheer tops in South Korea is inappropriate because it shows the delicate part of your body. Dress according to who you are with and the place you’re at. 

If you are planning to attend a private dinner at a restaurant, wear a dress that does not show a lot of skin and is below the knee. If you are going to attend a casual meeting, wear comfortable clothing that you can at least sit on the floor and the clothes will not bother you.

Some people will look at you feeling a bit awkward, but for you, it is not. Others' opinions will not matter as long as you're dressed appropriately.

There will be a saying that you dress according to what fits your tone and beauty, but not all of us have the same taste in fashion or clothing. Whether simple or excessive makeup, as long as you feel confident in your own way and not bashing other people’s taste in clothing, feel free to do so.

Fashion is evolving throughout the years. Some people can be old-fashioned but it doesn’t mean that it is not right. Always wear clothes that are comfortable, proper, and decent.

“In fact, the confidence of the people is worth more than money.”
