Hello, everyone! It's Creatrip, your Korea based travel besties,

The reason why many people love shopping in Korea is that the beautiful long coat doubles the price after crossing the ocean, but when you buy it in South Korea, it is cheaper to buy two or three pieces at a time. 

Autumn in Korea is coming! Long-sleeved autumn collections have also begun to appear on the road. Where can I find beautiful, cheap coats in Seoul? Take a look at Creatrip's guides~

Korean F/W coat Recommendation

1. Hongdae

The first hot place of Seoul where tourists visit is the lively Hongdae. When you come to Hongdae in autumn, you can not only see the beautiful ginkgo avenue, but also the autumn and winter clothing in the business district. They are also beautifully displayed directly, seducing you to pay for it!

No matter the cute woollen coat or the beautiful plain long coat, as long as you walk around Hongdae, you will be able to pick your favourite style and price. Of course, I also reminded: shop around does not suffer for a higher price.

Hongdae shopping is suitable for all seasons! I especially recommend you to choose coats in autumn and winter. There are various styles. No matter you are neutral, sweet and sexy, you can find a Korean version of your coat in Hongdae.

Ready to come to Korea in autumn and winter? To say that the best choice for buying coats is Hongdae! Although not necessarily the cheapest, the beautiful style will definitely make you fall into the pit and not climb out.

2. Edae

When it comes to Hongdae, how can you forget Edae? Edae is also the first choice of many people for shopping. Although the scale of the business district is not as developed as in previous years, in autumn and winter, "Edae Women's Street", which focuses on women's clothing, will definitely put on many coats to attract you.

All over the main street and alleys and the autumn and winter pears are very pleasant to visit, especially the beautiful campus. I personally believe that the autumn landscape is more beautiful than spring and summer. I can't finish taking pictures.

The coats hiding in the lanes of Edae lanes are also available from high to low, with various options. However, I also reminded that these coats are usually the products of fast fashion and thin material, but it seems to be enough to cope with the autumn and winter in tropical areas.

Come to Edae shopping in autumn and winter, don't just browse the beauty products that make people buy soft hands! Save some money and buy some beautiful coats in the alleys of Eade lanes, which will definitely not make you regret it.

3. Express Bus Terminal

When it comes to shopping, in addition to the university district, the must-see is the underground mall. Among the many underground malls in Seoul, the most recommended one is the "Express Bus Terminal Underground Mall".

This is the largest underground shopping mall in Seoul. It is crowded with cheap girls all the time. Basically! The price in the Korean business district will definitely be a little more expensive than the underground street. If you want to pick up cheap, but you are afraid of blowing cold outside, you should come to the underground street.

The unforgettable express bus will be full of surprises whenever you go shopping. I also reminded that the price of underground streets is usually the price of cash, please bring enough cash to come, otherwise, there will be stupefaction with a beautiful coat.  

4. Dongmyo Market

The Dongmyo market may be relatively new to everyone, but this is the largest second-hand market in Seoul. If you want to buy second-hand coats and vintage clothes, you can start at Dongmyo market at a price that is even more pleasant than you think.

However, friends with clean habit may need to consider carefully, because the popular part of the Dongmyo market is full of second-hand cheap clothing, so the condition of the clothes must be checked by themselves, and it may not be possible to find a style and price that suits them.

However, for those who want to buy vintage, I recommend "S.S Vintage" and "VinTori" next door, because this is one of the few well-preserved vintage shops (at least not on the floor). I have shopped for coats here twice.

It is also recommended that friends who come to the Dongmyo Market to dig a coat, it is better to come here on the afternoon of the weekend (before dark). As long as you look patiently, you can find one that suits you in piles of clothing!

 

5. Gangnam Underground Street

Remember the express bus underground mall that I just mentioned? If there are no friends who will go there specifically, I also chose the alternative "Gangnam Underground Street".

Gangnam Underground Street is also Seoul ’s super-large underground shopping mall. It is located on Line 2 and is frequently used for transfers. In addition, there are many office workers in Gangnam District who will take advantage of the commuting space to stroll around here, creating a huge mall here.

However, in comparison, I think that express bus there is a little cheaper than Gangnam Underground Street. If you want to be a budget lover, you should first visit the express bus underground mall.

However, the scale of the Gangnam Underground Street has recently increased, extending to the transfer area of the New Bundang Line. For those who want to focus on coats, they have a lot of options to come here.

6. Myeongdong Lotte Young Plaza

Young Plaza is located near Myeongdong and Euljiro 1ga. But don't worry about the price of department stores. Young Plaza is really good!

Unlike Korea ’s underground street, Myeongdong Young Plaza ’s clothes are all Korean brands. They follow the trend of fashion and want to buy textured Korean coats. It ’s right to come to Young Plaza.

Not only local design brands in Korea but if you usually have friends who are paying attention to Korean fashion, you can also find many Korean brands in Young Plaza.

7. Yeongdeungpo Underground Street

Exit 5 of Yeongdeungpo Stn.

If you really can’t find the time to go to the express bus and Gangnam Underground Street to buy a coat. I recommend the Yeongdeungpo Underground Street, which is located in the southwest of Seoul, and you can get there by taking Line 1.

I came to Yeongdeungpo Underground Street in autumn and winter, I think it's okay to stroll here! At the beginning of the underground street just out of the subway, there are many coat shops.

But I must also be honest, if it is a friend who came to Yongdengpu Underground Street in the summer, it may not be so good to visit, because the clothing is a bit old compared to other places ...

However, according to my experience, there is still a great chance to find a cheap Korean coat when coming to Yeongdeungpo Underground Street in autumn and winter. Of course, for a penny and a cargo, Yongdengpu Underground Street is an alternative to Gangnam Underground and Express bus terminal for a reason.

The above is the recommendation after my actual visit! If you are in Seoul and want to buy autumn coats, you can first follow these rankings.

If you have the needs of a specific brand, just go to a speciality store to buy it, but if you just want to save money and buy many beautiful (but probably not so warm) coats, these places are really suitable for you to post photos on Instagram every day by wearing different clothes.
