There's this popular green color my kids have been sporting lately. It's not really a hunter green. It's more like a road sign green or a Chicklet green. Anyway I caved and bought a top in that color. I've found myself, as well, browsing what I assume are local Korean brands: Maru, Coax, Bean Pole, and A6. Bean Pole is nice in that Polo way but pretty pricey. Whoau looks like an A&F clone. I'm not sure if that's a Korean brand mimicking as a Western import. Never saw the brand in Seattle or Toronto.
One thing I noticed about Korean youth fashions is crests and numbers seem to be important, nay indispensable, on Korean casual designer clothes.
I kind of like a brand called "Basic House". Some nice cotton casual basics and nothing beyond 25,000 won. I'm not sure where one is in the city but there's one way out in Jesusville. It's on a shopping strip of faux outlet stores called "Rodeo street" which should not be confused with the very pricey Rodeo street in Apkujong. This is at the Munjeong station exit 1. That's on the pink line. Rodeo street is kind of fun to stomp around a Sunday afternoon. The prices don't seem any better than Coex mall, despite the outlet designation. |

| I find myself wearing the same pair of pants two days in a row like alot of my kids... but that might be due to the fact that I can't find a pair of pants in Korea that I like the fit (odd, since I'm almost exactly average size for a Korea, yet all the legs are too long compared to the waste) as well as I came over here with a limited supply. |

I did notice that. My kids tend to wear the same clothes several days in a row. Or mabye the same outfit every other day as I tend to have them monday-wednesday-friday and tuesday-thursday-friday. |
