I know back in the USA, plaid is all the rage. Anyone who has survived the Nirvana grunge phase back in the early 90's, kept one throwback plaid shirt that has recently made a comeback throughout the Forever 21's and H&M's of the world. If you listen to Sufjan or Sigur, chances are you own a plaid shirt. If you hunt and have a full beard, chances are you own a plaid shirt. If you are in love with Salvation Army, Goodwill or any other vintage or discount clothing store, chances are you own a plaid shirt. Korea is no exception to this trend, the tartans are out in full swing and everyone from infants to the elderly is not immune. I think the quality I appreciate most in Koreans is their, dare to go there attitude when it comes to mixing two different plaid prints into one outfit. If you like the design of something the logical equation is to wear more then one of them.
"Once you can accept the universe as being something expanding into an infinate nothing which is something, wearing stripes with plaid is easy." -Albert Einstein

ReplyDeleteDid you find the quote from Einstein after you wrote this post, and it just worked perfect, or did you find this quote and thought "Oh my God! This applies to Koreans!?"
