When spring and summer arrive, "shirts" instantly gain prominence in Korean fashion.

However, this year, it's not just about simple basic shirts; there's a strong trend towards making a statement with "texture," "patterns," and "silhouettes."

Especially in Korea, shirts that create an atmosphere of
"effortless style" are popular.

This time, we will introduce five "trendy shirt designs" that are attracting attention as Korean trends for 2026SS.

1. Sheer Striped Shirt

"Sheerness" changes the summer vibe.

 

 

 

 

One style that has become very popular this year is the "slightly sheer" striped shirt.

It's characterized by being lighter than a plain white shirt and having a soft, luminous impression.

Especially in Korea, styling it with relaxed bottoms like:

• Wide denim

• Nylon pants

• Slacks

is popular.

It's the perfect piece for those who feel "white shirts are too ordinary" but "don't like anything too flashy."

2. Mini Gingham Check Shirt

Retro yet modern.

Fine gingham checks are gradually becoming more popular in Korea.

While this pattern might seem old-fashioned, an oversized fit instantly makes it modern.

This year, especially common color combinations are:

• Blue × White

• Brown × Black

Simply pairing it with white pants or black denim completes the "Korean vibe."

3. Lace/Mesh Shirt

A material that subtly exudes "allure."

For 2026SS, "shirts that showcase their material" are also very strong.

Particularly popular are designs that subtly reveal a bit of skin, such as:

• Lace knitting

• Mesh material

• Openwork knitting

These are rapidly increasing among Korean brands because they create a natural sense of casualness and allure without being vulgar.

They also pair well with accessories, giving even simple pants a distinctive look.

4. Work Pocket Shirt

Minimal yet impactful.

Work shirts with flap pockets are also a continuing trend.

However, this year,

"clean urban sophistication" is more important than "heavy-duty workwear feel."

By using fine check patterns and soft materials, they achieve a refined impression with less of a military feel.

5. Navy Striped Shirt

Korean-style "intellectual casual."

Finally, a classic yet even more popular item this year is the navy stripe.

The key is "not to wear it true to size."

Wearing it slightly oversized and pairing it with casual items like:

• Sweatpants

• Wide slacks

• Half pants

is the Korean style.

This easily creates a balance of being "polished yet relaxed."

Summary

For 2026SS, "texture" and "vibe" are key.

This year's Korean shirt trends are not just about design, but about how to create:

• Lightness

• Sheerness

• Pattern

• Drape

• Vibe

That's why even simple outfits can have a "distinctive feel."
