Collection: Women's Bottoms

Many Korean maxi skirts, such as the Artinary Maxi Denim Skirt or the Malen Nest Curtain Skirt, are intentionally cut long, around 95cm~100cm total length, to achieve a sweeping, floor-length silhouette. For average UK heights, these sit right at the top of your shoes or ankle. If you are petite, they pair perfectly with platform loafers, chunky trainers, or heels for a lengthened leg look.

K-Fashion trends are constantly changing, but a few skirt styles continue to stand out season after season. Mini skirts remain a constant staple. Pieces such as the Bibora Cachion Double Mini Skirt, with its layered underneath pants, or the Adit Wrap Skirt, with its wrapped silhouette, are perfect examples of this trend. Midi and maxi skirts are equally popular in Korean fashion, with staples such as the Teterot Salon Wave Skirt or the baseThread Lyric Mermaid Skirt. In recent years, sheer and wrap skirts designed to be worn over trousers or shorts have also become a signature styling choice, adding texture and dimension to every outfit. Pieces such as the Adit Ribbon See-Through Skirt and Adit Knot Check Skirt perfectly capture this trend.

Wide-leg trousers and jeans have become a signature silhouette in Korean fashion because they perfectly balance style and comfort. Rather than focusing on body-hugging fits, K-Fashion favours relaxed silhouettes that create a more effortless, contemporary look that perfectly matches the style and aesthetic we can see on the streets of Seoul. 

Wide-leg bottoms, such as Malen Unisex Tuck Balloon Pants or Artinary Button Wide Fit Pants, are extremely popular because they are incredibly versatile to style. They can be paired beautifully with fitted tops, cropped knits, or tucked-in shirts to create balanced proportions and give the illusion of longer legs. At the same time, their loose fit skims over the body instead of clinging to it, making them a flattering choice for a wide range of body shapes.

Among the fashion brands available at Malkn, Teterot Salon stands out for its contemporary interpretation of traditional Korean clothing. Skirts such as the Ewha Village Skirt-Denim or pants like the Unha Pants are designed with typical silhouettes inspired by Hanbok, Korea’s traditional dress, featuring signature details such as the wrap-front closure and ribbon ties at the waistband. 

Rather than recreating traditional garments, Teterot Salon reimagines these timeless elements for modern everyday wear. The result is a collection that celebrates Korean heritage while remaining effortlessly wearable, making it easy to incorporate Korean aesthetics into your everyday wardrobe.

* Malkn Tip: If you love this blend of tradition and contemporary fashion, explore our Korean Inspired Collection, where you'll discover more pieces influenced by Korean culture, craftsmanship, and design.

Styling wide-leg trousers the Korean way is all about creating balanced proportions. The most popular approach is to pair them with a fitted or cropped top to define the waist and create the illusion of longer legs. If you prefer an oversized shirt or pullover, try tucking just the front into your waistband to add shape while keeping the relaxed aesthetic.
