We love the Weather+ app – it gives an accurate 6 day forecast for day and night, which when you're planning from home is really helpful.December, January and February are very cold so pack your coat, a scarf and gloves, and remember it snows at higher altitudes too.In summer (June, July, August) it is hot, humid and wet – so natural fabrics work well.The weather in spring (March, April and May), and Fall (September, October and November) is cooler, so long-sleeved shirts, pants and a sweater or jacket will work well.If you in Korea on business then suits, shirts and ties are the appropriate attire.For versatile and stylish beachwear, try the Madda Fella range of shirts, shorts, polos and swimwear.Wear it over the shoulder or convert it to a clutch, or use it to keep your belongings and travel documents tidy and easy to find. The leather RedDog BagPod is a really versatile and stylish bag that can be used from day to evening.

If you are here on business go for skirt-suits (not too short) with heels.A skirt or loose-fitting pants are good in the heat and will protect you from the sun.Unless you are in a tourist beach area, we advise that you avoid a bikini in favor of a one-piece suit and a sarong.


However, be aware that it is also a conservative country so avoid showing cleavage, keep shoulders covered and if you have a short skirt do as the local women do and take a pashmina or wrap to cover your knees when you are sitting.They are very well-groomed, so join in and feel at home. Seoul is a cosmopolitan city and the women love to dress up.We love the Lindsay Phillips Switch Flops range – using interchangeable shoe and flip-flop bases with snap-on decorations, you can change your look from day to evening in an instant whilst still packing light. Heels are really popular with ladies here but if you take flat shoes go for pretty, dressy ones.In restaurants with floor-style seating you will need to remove your shoes and leave them by the door.Pack comfortable shoes that slip off easily but also look good (try Hotter shoes, they provide total comfort and look great too).We love the SCOTTeVEST travel jacket because it has over 23 pockets, removable sleeves and RFID protection. Ensure you bring a versatile travel jacket.Wear plenty of sunscreen (we love the Riemann P20 range for 10 hour protection), a sunhat and sunglasses – but note that wearing sunglasses whilst speaking to people is regarded as rude, so ensure you take them off.It's hot in summer, so our advice is to pack lightweight, loose-fitting clothes in natural fabrics such as linen, silk and cotton that will keep you cool and are easy to wash and dry.
