After fussing over your outfit of the day, don’t you hate it when you spot someone wearing the same exact clothes as you? According to one Nate Pann blog titled, “The Reality of Fashion Forward Korea,” South Koreans run into this issue quite often.
The post became popular after sharing photos of Koreans wearing the same exact articles of clothing. Here are some pictures below:
Nothing screams friendship more than matching sneakers.
There must have been a shoe sale.
I spy quadruplets.
The Plastics wore pink on Wednesdays. These girls roll with matching denim jackets.
There’s a glitch in the Matrix!
I found Waldo. Now, I must kill him… There can only be one.
North Face, North Face jackets everywhere.
Although these photos are humorous, many of the post’s commenters criticized South Korea’s fashion sense, despite the country being renowned for its bold street style and runway chic looks.
The top comment read, “Koreans have no individuality. As soon as one thing trends, everyone goes and buys it and throws it out as soon as something else trends. We just care too much about trends and what others think.”
Another commenter wrote, “You can tell just with the Honey Butter Chips craze. People are trend crazy.”
