The global economic recession is hitting South Korea hard, and will be a main factor challenging the growth of menswear in the forecast period. While in 2022 it saw its strongest current value growth rate in many years, it is expected to see a slowing growth rate in the forecast period, as men become reluctant to spend as much on apparel and footwear as they did before.
Whereas in the past many men were dependent on their wife/girlfriend/mother when it came to choosing apparel, men are becoming more and more independent, getting more involved, and making their own fashion purchases. When the collaboration between Zara and Ader Error took place in November 2022, men lined up at the Zara store before the opening, hoping to get the collaborative limited edition.
More people are starting to shop across gender categories, and throughout the forecast period more experimental products and looks will subtly but surely be introduced and adopted, changing how men dress in South Korea. Celebrities have already embarked on experimenting with and showcasing different gender-fluid looks.
