Talk about fashion styles in your country. (Part 2)

Due to the Internet, people can get access to the latest trends more easily. Many people get exposed to new fashion trends online. There are tons of online shopping malls where people buy the latest fashion items. Plus, because Korea has four distinct seasons, people wear different clothing for each season. Naturally, fashion styles are seasonal. Stores have new lineups for different seasons. There are big-scale sales and promotions that go on when seasons change. Also, due to the Korean pop-culture wave, Korean fashion trends go overseas to neighboring countries in Asia. Many Asian tourists come to Korea to shop for these hot items.

I think Koreans are quite fashionable. They like to follow the latest fashion trends. The media plays a much bigger role when it comes to how people dress these days. This trend is much more evident than in the past. Many fashion trends start on TV. If there is a popular TV drama, the fashion style in the drama becomes a trend. The trends include certain styles of clothing or fashion items such as bags, shoes, or accessories. Fashion magazines also play a role in setting trends. Some fashion styles become huge and become a fad. They don't last for that long though.
