Dating scenes are practically inevitable in a Kdrama, especially if you’re watching something laced with more than a little romance. Sometimes, we get to see the ladies trying so hard to find the perfect date outfit – even going so far as shopping for new ones when the need arises.
Let’s take a peek into the common ensembles favored by Kdrama females when going on a date:
1. Oh Cho Rim (Shin Se Kyung) in the Girl Who Sees Smells
Who Wore It Better Kdrama Edition
Once in a while, we see clothes in Korean dramas that make us exclaim “Hey, we’ve seen this before!”. This post is a tribute to those moments. Biases aside, who do you think pulled off these clothes better?

10 Best-Dressed Kdrama Female Characters of 2014
The end of 2014 is almost upon us. We at Korean Drama Fashion couldn’t think of a better way to say goodbye to this amazing year than to cull a best-dressed list. We’re only taking the dramas we’ve featured. Fashion and style are a part and parcel of Korean dramas so you guys can probably list down more than dozen of well-dressed ladies in the multitude of the dramas you’ve watched this year. If you can think of more stylish female leads who should make it to this list though, feel free to write your comments after the article.
10. Krystal Jung as Yoon Se Na (My Lovely Girl)
At number 10 is My Lovely Girl’s Yoon Se Na. In real life, the actress who portrayed her, Krystal Jung, is a fashion icon. While I loved her fashion more in The Heirs, Krystal’s character in this drama, Yoon Se Na is fashionable in her own way.
She has legs for days so skinny jeans and A-line mini skirts are her particular forte. She usually caps it off with a cute cropped jacket that I wouldn’t mind having in my closet. And since this started as a summer drama, she sported a lot of gingham prints and preppy-inspired dresses! You’ll also get a lot of Alexa Chung vibes from her outfits.

How Women of Power Dress Up in Korean Dramas
There’s no shortage of powerful women in Korean dramas. I love myself a good high school drama with a girl from a poor family and with two rich guys fighting over her as the lead stars but you definitely can’t beat a drama with a successful female lead character because of one thing: her wardrobe.
Take these women as examples:
1. Lee Se Young (Choi Ji Woo in Temptation)

With the parade of gorgeously-styled womenswear in kdramas, it’s easy to overlook their male counterparts. But they make up the other half of the stylish drama spectrum so let’s not to fail to note what’s keeping these gents easy on the eyes whilst moving us with their Kdrama one-liners.
We narrowed down these 6 menswear staples that are usually not missing in every Kdrama male character’s wardrobe:
1. Jeans
Kim Tan in The Heirs wearing a pair of light-washed denim skinny pants.
Lee Min Jung’s fashion in Cunning Single Lady/Sly and Single Again is remarkably similar to her style in her previous drama, Big. It has a lot of spring elements to it – with her being mostly in bright-colored and printed pieces. I wouldn’t mind raiding her closet, which is generally full of Korean brands. She occasionally wears high-end pieces too like Kenzo and Vanessa Bruno.
