SEOUL: While a fitted knit or cotton dress may be seen as everyday wear in most places, in South Korea, it has come to symbolise one particular neighbourhood: Dongtan.
Nicknamed the “Dongtan look,” this casual yet sensual style is frequently linked to women in their 30s and 40s living in the fast-growing suburban area south of Seoul known for its corporate hubs and high proportion of young married couples.
