Now that it’s 2026, I’ve been reflecting on the standout Korean fashion trends from last year. The layering techniques and mix of textures we saw in 2025 really played into the clean-girl aesthetic. I’ve been on the hunt for pieces that strike a balance between comfort and a subtle flair, and I’ve discovered some interesting styles along the way.

Oversized fits and soft fabrics seemed to dominate the scene. I’m curious about how these trends work in everyday outfits, especially in Melbourne. For those of you who tried incorporating these styles, which brands or pieces did you find most effective? Did you face any challenges while blending these trends into your wardrobe?

I tried mixing oversized tees with structured blazers, and it actually worked pretty well! For brands, I found some gems at Lofits and Musinsa, they’re super affordable and have those comfy vibes. Just gotta be careful with proportions, or you’ll end up looking like you borrowed your big brother’s clothes.

I tried mixing oversized fits with some local Melbourne brands last year, and it was a game changer! Brands like Cotton On and Uniqlo had some solid options. I did struggle a bit with layering, though—sometimes it felt like I was drowning in fabric, haha.
