SEASONS
What May Looks Like in Seoul
A short, bright month between a long winter and a heavy summer — and the reason this magazine is named after it.
Korea has four seasons and none of them are gentle. Winter is dry and long. Summer arrives wet and does not leave. Between them there is a narrow window, and it is the best dressed month of the year.
Why it matters for clothes
A country with sharp seasons builds different clothes. Layers that come apart. Outerwear that has to work at five degrees and at eighteen. Fabrics chosen for a humidity level most of the world never thinks about.
May is the month the coats come off and the colour comes back.
That is what this magazine is about — clothes made for a place with real weather, explained by someone who dresses for it.
