What to Wear During Winter in Korea

Hi guys! What should you wear during winter in Korea to stay warm? A lot of people have asked me questions about how to dress for winter in Korea. It can get really cold in Seoul during the winter months, especially from late December to Early February. In this video, I will share with you how I layer my clothing to stay warm during the winter.

This is one of the videos we watched while doing some research for appropriate clothes to wear for a winter in South Korea. Thank you so much! Your suggestions helped us survive winter in Korea last December 2019! ^^

[@katieguid2005]

Thank you for posting this. I’m from California and going to Korea this Nov to Jan and I don’t want to be unprepared for temps I’m not used to. This helps so much ❤

[@NOUR-hy3ct]

I’m going to Korea next month and I’ve been wondering about that I was happy when you uploaded this Thank you so much

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

I’m glad you found it helpful!!

[@dannim8141]

I got cold just watching this. I only do summer and manage perfectly fine in the cool 'winter' of the UAE😊 Excellent video with good detailed explanation. If i ever do a winter trip to seoul I'll be well prepared.

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Lol! Yes it’s super cold here. I’m originally from California so winter is not my thing. ;)

[@hoonwon]

love your videos ^^ korea is my home country and I'm going there in 11 months and your videos are helping me a lot! Thanks ^^

Hi Z, that's a great idea! I will try to do a video about it. :)

[@thuyvuong9874]

This a such a great and useful video. I use heat packs that stick under clothes over my base layer and and a harmari to cover my belly over both base layers before regular clothes and down jacket, wool scarf and wool hat 😊😃

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

So many layers but it keeps you warm! What’s a harmari?

Omg THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO I was having a big issue as to whether Uniqlo’s heat tech was really good and which ones i should get

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Definitely the thickest ones are the warmest :)

[@shrimp274]

i live near the equator in asia so it’s ‘summer’ all year round, incredibly hot, the coldest I’ve been is to australia during winter and it wasn’t freezing so I have no clue about korea, haven’t traveled there yet surprisingly even though it’s quite close, this is really helpful thank you !

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Hope you have a wonderful trip!!

[@isenmileshamson4603]

I'll tailor myself a fashionable decent triple layer wooled trench coats way before ahead visiting to Korea!!!

[@kepo364]

Idk but i love ur video. U have such a likeable personality and i swear u will be big if u continue

Very helpful. I know a teacher who is teaching through the Epik program, and she is living in Korea; she said she can't stand the cold, so going to share this with her. :D And helpful for me over here in the US; getting quite chilly over here and snow storms coming this weekend. Keep warm and having fun, Marie. God bless yours and you! :)

Hi Melissa! Thank you!! I hope your friend can figure out how to keep warm! It does get cold here!!

[@rosedarkling]

@@MariesKawaiiWorld You are welcome. :D

[@NehaSingh-de2hs]

In India where I live the temperature hardly goes down below 10°C so a jacket over any outfit works.

[@LuanRicardo2223]

Very helpful, thank you! How is the weather and what should I wear during mid/late November?

[@sanbinyharumumzt7798]

Thank you for this, Marie! Very informative and helpful indeed! Will be visiting Seoul on 1st March. (My 2nd time in Korea in 6months! :)) Is March still considered as peak winter? Coming from the Middle East where our winter’s lowest is only 9degrees (and I’m already freezing), I can’t imagine how cold is -1c in Korea! Any additional tips?

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Hi Razel, March is still cold in Seoul, I would bring a warm jacket. I think February is peak winter, and march is still cold but not as freezing as Jan/Feb. In my opinion, it doesn't really get warm until May!! (I'm from California so it's not as hot as the Middle East but I have a low tolerance for cold weather).

[@christybeth60]

When will you be doing the house tour!!! Would love to see a video!

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Lol! Probably after I finish my Konmari “tidying” and decluttering!

[@curatedconnection6334]

The regular heattech from Uniqlo that I brought for my late November trip to Seoul hardly provided heat for me even during those 5°C-10°C days 😣

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

The regular heat tech is not enough for Korean winters!!

[@kimeinarsson5060]

why did i get to this video just now? Kawaii!!!

[@annajones5123]

Thanks for this video! It will come in handy to know what I need to pack when I'm in Korea for my study abroad (August- December)...... question....what's fall like?? I'm from Michigan and I go to school at Northern Michigan University in Marquette (it's basically the North Pole so it gets really cold too and the wind is horrible off of Lake Superior) but since I'll be in Korea mostly in the fall months what is the weather like around that time?? Thanks again, you guys are awesome!!! 💜😊👍

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

In fall the weather is beautiful! Best time of year to visit ;). It must get really cold in Northern Michigan!!

[@annajones5123]

@@MariesKawaiiWorld we currently have 2 feet of snow and the wind is horrible...I get wind whip just walking to class 🙃👍...but it's good to hear that fall isn't bad in Korea!!! 😊💜

Hi ... question? if you are inside during the snow season ! What do you stock up on to get your family through winter? and How do you keep your children enterained ? and best of all what comfort meals do you prepare for your family,,,,

[@dudedude4375]

[@ninalove3584]

Hi Marie, been watching your videos since they're quite informative. We are coming in early dec. Would it be better if I buy warm clothes and boots at the cheap market i saw in your other vids? My gals have their jackets but you know growing teenagers 😉

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Hmm... I’d come with at least some warm clothes, maybe at least a warm fleece and a wool sweater or maybe one of those uniqlo ultra light down layers. You can buy your more stylish items here but at least have some thing “just Incase”!

[@isenmileshamson4603]

Can you give a suggestion about wearing diving boots in winter??

[@bingbongmelo]

hi i've been watching your videos quite awhile now! i'm going to korea in the month of april, do you know what i should wear or pack on this trip? thankk you!! 💛

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Hi!! Thanks for watching :) In April it will start to warm up but it will still be relatively cool, probably in the 50's and 60's (Fahrenheit). I would still wear long pants and a jacket. :)

[@ongie9736]

Yeah Ugg boots!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@kaskahea1274]

[@cutiepie4905]

Is early March still cold ? Love this video!!!

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Yes but not as bad as January. Thanks!! :)

[@nowhere3246]

Uniqlo is my go too for everything on my body except shoes. PLUS they employ many with disabilities

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Oh! I didn’t know that. Another plus for Uniqlo! :)

[@joyLoveC]

Hey Marie! Thanks so much for this informative video! Regarding boots, as I come from a tropical country and only go on a winter holiday maybe once in 2 years, I’d prefer not to invest in a pair of woolly boots. Would leather boots with Heattech socks suffice? I’m thinking leather boots are more practical as I can use them during other times of the year. Appreciate your advice! ❤️🌸

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Yes I think that can work as long as it isn’t snowing!

[@Brawler230C]

HELP!! I'm going to Korea to meet my GF's family next week and dont leave till NYE. Is there a brand or style of coat that's in the middle of Uniqlo and North Face/Canada Goose that you recommend? I owned a Uniqlo coat a few years back and it didn't keep me warm enough for the UK winters ( so I'm imagining Korean winters are 10x colder lol)

[@tata_suace]

I literally remembered when I went to China during winter time , my heat packs weren’t working so my feet were literally hurting so bad

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Oh no!! My feet always get cold too

[@suvashree100]

Although I love winters I get cold easily😂😂😂 AC n I don't mix either ... But I still love winter for some reason! I hv never seen snow in my life but I want to😭😭😭 ... I was born in December,so I guess that's the reason😂.. love it whn the sun shines during winter❤️❤️❤️

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

It is pretty when the sun shines during winter! 🥰

[@kaitlunh3249]

I’m going to Seoul in The Spring (Late March-Early April), is it the same temperature as Winter? Is it really freezing cold? Thank you!! ❤️

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

It will be warmer then - not such freezing temps but I think you will still need a warm coat!

[@slhsiu8131]

I usually travel to korea in jan (e.g. seoul). I have a big long jacket (brand is eikowada). I am wondering if it would be warm enough if I just wear a regular heat tech, then a jumper/ hoodie, then the big jacket? and for legs, is it warm enough to wear lamb fabric leggings/ extra warm Uniqlo leggings, then a loose bodyfriend-jean-like trousers?

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Sounds like you’ll be as warm as you can!! I’m still cold if I stay out too long but that’s the best you can do :)

[@xiiinoroi4634]

if i go there in winter i will look crazy me wearing hoodie:D im from finland and here is winter i usually wear long sleevs and hoodie until -15 :D winters here can be -30°c

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Yes!

[@thuyvuong9874]

What are the name of the windproof sweatpants, and can you get them online or in store at Uniqlo in the US?

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

Hi! Sorry, I’m not sure of the name.. i don’t know if it has one.

[@liewpg2266]

Is ultra light down jacket from Uniqlo sufficient enough for temperature between -10 to 5? Of course will be paring with wool sweaters and heattech. I am asking because it seems a bit thin, but will it effect its efficiency?

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

I would layer with heattech, wool and or fleece underneath

[@whitecontrails]

anyone knows what's the exact product name of the pants she mentioned at 3:14? (or is it okay if i just wear a base layer + normal jeans over) thank you!

[@MariesKawaiiWorld]

hi! It's not as stylish but personally, I would replace the wool coat with a warmer one that breaks the wind if you have it. Like a down jacket.
