Japan High school ❤︎

Hello everyone !

Since my awkward teen days an an obsessed k-pop fan to now being a mature “adult”, I have curated and explored my sense of style and wanted to give everyone a list of Korean fashion sites that can help you expand your fashion sense! This post will be a list and my review of my personal experiences and includes both male and female fashion.

The list is in no particular order. Those with asterisks* are my personal recommendations.

SITES THAT SHIP INTERNATIONALLY ✈️ 

1. Codibook*

This is a great site to start off. The price range is very affordable to luxurious and ships to most countries. Carries a multitude of Korean brands in different sub-styles like street, teen and mature such as Mixxmix and Common Unique. It's been gaining international popularity and I do also have hauls on my Youtube channel here for greater detail. This is sort of a one-stop shop and the shipping rates are very low!

Price: $-$$$

UNISEX but more female

2. Stylenanda

Well-known brand domestically and internationally. Pricing is more on the expensive side but they do have sales and free shipping days every now and then. Carries a variety of styles but is very on-trend and "high fashion".

Price: $$-$$$

FEMALE FOCUSED

3. chuu

Also well-known. Carries a more cutesy/feminine (ulzzang-almost) fashion style that you probably see on Instagram or Pinterest and is the pinnacle of that "Korean fashion". They do carry their own label which is $$$ but mostly affordable. Shipping can be a hike but they do offer good sales. Sometimes you can find the same thing on Aliexpress so always check to save your wallet!

Price: $-$$FEMALE FOCUSED

4. BLACKUP*

More well known domestically. Carries a more 'edgier' fashion sense that is often ahead or similar of Western trends (like ABG almost?) but with a Korean tinge. Very affordable however and high quality clothing.

Price: $-$$

FEMALE FOCUSED

5. Swimcity*

A small indie brand. More edgier/punk/grunge fashion style. High quality products and a great place if you're looking to explore this sub-fashion group. However some clothing can be found on Aliexpress. Price: $-$$

FEMALE FOCUSED

6. 66GIRLS

Widely known and their style is more leaning towards minimal Korean fashion. Less cutesy but more mature and feminine. They offer good coupons and sales and are affordable.

Price: $-$$

FEMALE FOCUSED

7. BABYMETALCLUB

Famous for its gyaru-inspired Japanese fashion. It’s been worn by a number of Korean idols as has a more costume-doll, alternative like fit. More affordable and great quality.

Price: $-$$

FEMALE FOCUSED

8. GLOWNY*

More high end of Korean fashion. Small brand but is heavily popular amongst idols and influencers and showcases more classic/statement pieces. I own a few pieces and all are high quality and hand made. However, pricey so they are more investment pieces.

Price: $$$

FEMALE FOCUSED

9. Threetimes

Like Glowny they are an up and coming fashion brand. Price range is a bit more affordable but quality is great. Gaining popularity amongst influencers as classic/statement pieces.

Price: $$-$$$

10. Ugly Shadow

Small brand but more high end. Style is Y2K, with a mix of preppy and grunge. If you're into that then this is it!

Price: $$$

FEMALE FOCUSED

11. Mixxmix*

Another easily recognisable brand. Carries a variety of in-home brands in sub-fashion styles like grunge, feminine, cute and more. High quality clothing and a great starting point.

Price: $-$$$

Very feminine/girly fashion that leans towards vintage. Price is more on the expensive side but they have a large inventory and unique pieces.
