Choose by material, not thickness.
Complete Guide to Korean Men's "Summer Knitwear" Selection.
The image of knitwear as thick winter clothing doesn't apply to Korean men's brands. We've compiled a list of lightweight knitwear that can be worn alone from late summer to early autumn, categorized by material, based on actual WooStore products, including linen blends and thin cotton.
When a T-shirt isn't enough, but a thick sweater is still too much, summer knitwear made of breathable material is perfect for the changing seasons. The impression changes greatly depending on the material, neckline, and fit, so we'll introduce actual items from Korean brands by type.

Made from a dry-touch material of 80% linen and 20% nylon, it offers a refreshing lightness that doesn't cling to the skin. The moderately open V-neck creates a relaxed feel around the neck, and simply pairing it with wide slacks creates a minimalist outfit.

① Consider breathability with material
Linen blends prioritize lightness and coolness, while cotton prioritizes comfort against the skin and durability. It's best to differentiate their use based on the occasion.
② Change your impression with the neckline
A V-neck creates a relaxed feel, while a crew neck gives a neat impression. The way the neckline opens can change the atmosphere around your face.
③ Determine versatility with the fit
A semi-oversized fit is easy to pair with any bottoms, while cardigan types are versatile as both outerwear and standalone pieces.
Styling Guide
Relaxed look with wide pants
Pairing a semi-oversized knit with wide pants creates a balanced Korean style.
Layering with a white T-shirt
For collared knits and cardigans, wearing a white T-shirt underneath adds an accent as the white peeks out from the hem.
Urban look with slacks
Even with the same knit, pairing it with slacks allows you to shift the style from casual to sophisticated.
