It's still getting up to 30 degrees in the afternoons where I live but all the male teachers at my school have switched from summer garb to suits/jackets and ties. I feel 'under dressed' sitting here in my dockers and Arnold Palmer polo shirt. 
I guess swimming is out of the question!  |

Black suits with white socks and white/gold/red runners.  Don't they have mirrors? |

The ones here wear suits and slippers. I never understood how an olive green checked jacket goes with blue pants and a pink and yellow tie. Some of the combinations I see are so horrendous, I can't help but smile.  |

Black suits are white socks was the style of the Two Tone Ska revival 1979. I can remember a bunch of us with our Salvation Army Zoot suits.
Skanking to The Specials.
We were prepared for a flood with white socks. |

| The suits aren't so bad but some Korean teachers' idea of winter smart-casual... They look like they came right out of a Value Village flyer back home. |

Is there a large population of Koreans who are color blind? It may explain a thing or two. |

Dockers and Arnold Palmer polo shirt?
Do you shower daily? |

| All of my academy students switched to what they like to call, their "winter uniform," which consists of a suit and tie. Hello, it's not winter! |

Yea, this is exactly what I said too. You're right this is a Korea wide thing. I wasn't accustomed to seeing my co-teachers in business skirt suits with a brooch and the men, except the principal, in gray business suits. My over weight co-teacher didn't dress up as I would imagine there's nothing for her to wear but the same maternity dresses she always wears, but the other teachers were all dressed up. |

I just mention it because I had a co-worker with the same Arnold Palmer sartorial aplomb and a 2 week shower cycle.
Just a friendly reminder: wear once and then into the laundry. |
