Oversized sunglasses in restaurants at 10pm (for starters, the oversized sunnies trend is waaaaaaaaay over, took them long enough to catch on)

Everything Ajummas wear... *shudder* - floral print shirts with stripy pants and the obligatory black visor

Baseball caps at night

T shirts with stupid konglish sayings on them

Just off the farm? When the hell was the last time somebody wore a baseball cap to keep the sun out of their eyes?

Let's leave the Ajummas alone. When you get to their age, clothing becomes simply a utilitarian object. I somehow doubt most of them are loaded rich and going to Lotte Depertment store every weekend to buy the latest look.

I agree with your opinion on Konglish t-shirts, but I'd extend it to ALL t-shirts that young people wear in this country. I simply don't see the appeal of most of them. I noticed a young guy yesterday wearing a black t-shirt with a big pair of sunglasses painted on it.

There must be some kind of cryptic hidden meaning behind that picture, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what it is. Laughing

First of all those huge welding masks are ingenious: they act as a sunvisor and when pulled down far enough as sunglasses. hehe.

Second, i shave my head and whenever i'm out and about, i wear my cap...blame me for wearing it when i'm still out til late at night, should i take it off and carry it in my hands instead?

Last, korean girls are so cute, too sad that they dont bank on their cute assets instead of wearing some ugly fad, thinking its ok for them.
I only saw a few girls that just wore a very cute summer dress or just some really nice fitting jeans or button down shirt thats tailored pefectly to hug their sides?

i'm a dreamer....

yeah, but it sounds like you are wearing a cap because you don't want your head to get sunburnt...am I right, or am I right?

Dude. He was wearing it at night: clear, incontrovertible proof that no one, anywhere in the world wears baseball caps to shield themselves from the sun.

I myself wear a hat(I shave my head as well) with a forward facing brim, that somewhat resembles a baseball cap, to shield myself from the sun, but that's different: it's a hiking cap.

Some people. Rolling Eyes

All the Korean guys were adorned with teacloths covering their heads in a strange sort of gangsta thing. This was about 2 years ago, in the bars/clubs. It did look a little ridiculous.
