The weather in Seoul has been getting colder and colder as the days go by AND I am barely surviving. I do not understand how people are able to go about their day and look as if they are not cold. I am wear layers on layer and layers. Here are a few must have for Seoul's Winter.
Uniqlo Heat Tech: I have tried other brands in Korea, but this is my favorite. I would buy anything heat tech related like leggings, stocking (if you wanna wear a skirt), long sleeve, turtlenecks, sweaters, about everything!
A scarf: wool is preferred to keep your neck nice and toasty
Long padded coat
HOTPACK!!!!: these are magical hand warmers. There are packs that sell 4 for 3,000 KRW. The best one I used are the ones that military officers use. It lasts the longest and gets the hottest.
Lotion for your hands
Affordable cute winter clothes shopping is best to do underground in subway stations. Express Bus Terminal is a popular place for locals and foreigners. My friend was able to buy a coat for about 50,000 KRW (~$45).
