The Best Places to Shop Korean Fashion in the United States
Over the past year, we've incorporated Korean fashion trends into our everyday wardrobe more and more—maxi cargo skirts, oversized button-up shirts and a lot of bolero tops. But it can be challenging to find our dream clothes at American stores.
Thankfully, many stores and boutiques are expanding, and you can get items from Seoul-based brands delivery right to your doorstep without ridiculous shipping fees. Ahead, find a few of our favorite places to purchase authentic Korean fashion.
Musinsa Global
Musinsa is one of the largest online retailers in South Korea. They sell basically every brand you think of, including the ones your favorite stars wear—NewJeans was even one of the company's latest ambassadors. They launched a global store to shop from hundreds of Korean brands and their minimalistic line, Musinsa Standard. And it gets better—you can also get free shipping if you spend at least $100.
ÅLAND USA
Much like Musinsa, ÅLAND operates to expand Korean fashion trends around the world. As of 2023, ÅLAND says they offer over 700 brands from Korea. If you're based on the East coast, you're in luck. They also have a brick-and-mortar shop in Brooklyn, New York, and East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Banee & Banee
Beyond bringing Korean fashion across the globe, Banee & Banee wants to know this brand isn't only for young adults. According to their biography, they hope to appeal to fashion lovers in their 50s. You can also find offline stores of this shop in Georgia and Chicago.
Cider
Cider isn't exclusively Korean fashion, but if you sift through their thousands of styles, you'll see inspired pieces. The duo behind the brand, Fenco Lin and Yu Oppel, reveal that their designs are influenced by streetwear from New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Shanghai and Seoul. Honestly, we think combining all these trends is even better because you get plenty of unique looks.
YesStyle
YesStyle is pretty much the go-to for all things South Korea: skincare, makeup and, of course, fashion. As people have visited Seoul, we can attest that we've found nearly identical styles between YesStyle and Korean boutiques. YesStyle also offers some of the most affordable K-fashion, but we'll warn you that shipping can take a few weeks.
