| I found Uniqlo is a nice place to get pants. It's a Japanese store, and Japanese tend to be shorter. So, if you get wider pants, the length will still match you. In Korea and China, it's hard to find clothes big enough where the sleeves and pant legs aren't too long. Uniqlo will also shorten the pants. |
Strange sizing here. While technology soars, other industries won't be competitive. They get lazy and want to do things the way they've always done them. What I mean is Korean clothing companies that don't make different sizing. I mean 20 years ago, this too small skinny sizing was ok. But, there's lots of chubby Koreans and tall Koreans, especially under 30. But the clothing companies here still make everything based on smallness. Guess that's what a protected marketplace does. |

| Any little dry-cleaning shop will do basic alterations like hemming for about 3000 won an item. |

| This is slightly off topic, but I keep hearing how humid and hot summers are. I live in Florida and am hoping the summers are no hotter than they are here. |

just remember, here is no different than anywhere else in terms of a general ideal for professionalism.
whenever i'm walking down the street and i see a well dressed foreigner i do a little mental hat-tip to them because they seem to know what it means to be an adult and how to act like one. and to be bluntly honest the better dressed foreigners tend to be more successful than their peers and i'll explain why below.
when i see a foreigner in shorts, sandals, and baggy t-shirt or the ilk i cringe and think that they are perpetual children and that being here is nothing but a vacation for them....

For work I wear dress shirts and pants with a tie.
However I wanted to say something about your paragraph above that I bolded.
Shorts, sandals and baggy T-shirt is what I wear when I am walking to the gym. So if you saw me and cringed...you'd be making a incorrect judgment call. Which you are free to do, but it's still wrong.
Just some food for thought... |
