Best Menswear Boutiques in Seoul

While there are arguably far too many boutiques to choose from in Apgujeong, Works Out will immediately catch your eye. The unique steel building, designed by Italian architect group Andrea Caputo Office, is almost an artwork in itself. The interior more than matches the outside for style, with high-end streetwear collections by Obey, Carhartt, Brixton and many more. Shoppers can pick up high-quality items on three floors while appreciating the clever and futuristic design of the building through the open concept.

Standing out like a sore thumb in the usually grey Apgujeong district, the eye-catching green entrance door of Tom Greyhound Downstairs entices many to enter and discover this menswear paradise. While other concept stores in the area offer well-known brands, Tom Greyhound Downstairs supports lesser-known and up-and-coming fashion labels. This not only pleases the new designers but also the fashion conscious of Seoul who can pick up never-seen-before items right here in Seoul.

Anyone who appreciates classic styles and casual items made of premier materials will find their new favorite store in San Francisco Market.

Even though South Korea has been producing successful trends that have caught on all over the world in the past few years, there are also those who seek to acquire casual and street apparel from America and Europe. This can be a daunting task in Seoul due to the local bias. However, Ohkoos has realized this need for foreign brands and created a stunning store with clothes on the racks hailing from the West and other Asian fashion brands like Japan. Besides their stylish clothes, Ohkoos also sells fine leather goods and has a vast home accessory collection to match.

First opened down south in Busan in 1997, Kasina has become the largest streetwear concept store in South Korea. While it started out as a skateboard shop, it now offers international and Korean brands, such as HUF, Nude Bones and Stussy.
