I need to restock my wardrobe with summer clothes. Korean summers are brutal. I'm looking for that material, I don't know what it's called. It's really, really thin, almost see through.

I checked out uniqlo but, I'm not too fond of the place. The style is a bit bizarre and a bit over priced.

I need a formal suit and a array of casual clothes. Pants and Ts. I prefer the hiker style, simple and functional.

Can anyone suggest areas around Seoul? I've heard there's a suit market somewhere in Jongno-dong but that's about it

everyone always recommends itaewon, but im not fond of the place, ive heard different things, watch out for guys who glue suits together, the environment, etc.

i personally always go to myeongdong because i love the stores, of course i love uniqlo and the various other companies in korea. good luck

you're out of your mind if you think uniqlo is over-priced. maybe some of the clothes aren't your style but you really can't do any better for the price if you need the basics (polos, button downs, jeans, etc).

also h&m is good too but i think better for chicks.

I would say Zara for jeans (even if they are a little overpriced in Korea). H & M for casual shirts/tops.

Hiker style?
