WHAT TO WEAR

Seoul experiences weather extremes so what you should wear depends on when you plan to go.

​

MAR-MAY: We went in late March in 2015 and the weather was pleasant, though it would get cold early in the morning and late at night. A sweater with a jacket or coat should be enough. You may want to bring a scarf and light gloves too just in case.

​

JUN-AUG: It can get hot and humid in Seoul during Summer so be sure to dress comfortably. Summer is rainy season as well so it’s a good idea to bring shoes that can get wet or at least dry out quickly.

​

SEPT-NOV: Seoul’s climate in Fall is similar to Spring. It’s sweater, coat, and scarf weather.

​

DEC-FEB: Dress as warmly as possible, especially in January. I was wearing thermal underwear with a hoodie, gloves, and down jacket and I was still freezing. And that was just in early December! Bundle up and dress in layers or you’ll dread walking outside.
