Squid Game: How the Korean TV series will affect our style

On September 17, the Korean series “Squid Game” was released on Netflix. Two weeks later, it became a hit on the platform: at the moment, the series holds the first place in terms of views in more than 80 countries. The plot centers on 456 people who are mired in debt, in a difficult life situation or hiding from the police. They agreed to take part in children’s games to win more than 45 billion won (about 3 billion rubles) and change their lives forever. But it didn’t turn out to be that simple.

To find out what happened to the heroes further, we recommend watching the series. And in this article we will tell you about the elements of Korean style, which can successfully enter our closet.

Green tracksuit

The players are dressed in emerald sports uniforms of joggers with stripes, hoodies with zippers and white T-shirts, on which were written the numbers of the participants. On their feet are the most basic white sneakers. Recall that green was the main color of the summer season and stayed with us this fall.

A similar set can be found on sale at the adidas brand. This collection was just about recycling plastic and protecting nature from garbage, which Koreans would surely appreciate.

Pink jumpsuit

Remember when everyone was crazy about the red jumpsuits from Paper House? Well, now they’ve been replaced by pink slinky suits made of thick fabric worn by the players’ supervisors. This jumpsuit can be used as a Halloween costume. For example, along with a black mask with a circle, square or triangle drawn on it.

Here’s an idea: gather your friends, divide into teams based on geometric shapes, and start drowning sugar to fulfill one of the show’s player challenges on which their lives depended.

Black leather trench coat

The leather trench coat trend, which peaked in 2020, has no plans to let up. This season, black trench coats and trenchcoats made of genuine and faux leather were brought back into fashion by the creators of “The Squid Game” costumes.

The people of Korea love brightness as much as comfort, and a leather trench coat is such a universal thing that it can be combined with a green suit and a pink jumpsuit, thus killing two birds with one stone.

Classic suit

One of the important rules of Korean style is that classics are always on trend. School style originated in Korea, and restraint in the choice of clothes is a characteristic feature of any resident of the country. When there were fewer players, they were changed into black tuxedos.

If you are inspired by this style, then feel free to add to your closet not only black suits, but also vests, sweaters and cardigans and don’t forget that school uniform elements are also classics that will never get outdated, so you can wear it anywhere – and even to a concert of your favorite k-pop band.
