The onion-layer dressing method is outdated—must-learn Korean celebrity winter travel fashion

By the MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team

As the cold winter arrives, many people tend to bundle up in multiple layers when traveling. However, in some countries, indoor spaces are well-heated, creating a huge temperature difference between indoors and outdoors. This often leads travelers to feel warm enough outside but end up sweating once they step indoors.

In recent years, more and more people from Taiwan have been traveling to South Korea. Given the significant temperature differences between indoors and outdoors there, aside from the commonly known onion-layer dressing method, travelers might want to try the "corn-layer" method—wearing regular long-sleeve shirts or thermal innerwear underneath, and then layering with a single warm, weather-resistant coat on top.

The onion-layer dressing method commonly understood by Taiwanese involves wearing several layers of thermal underwear, sweaters, and long-sleeve shirts, and then topping it off with a down jacket or casual coat—layering clothes like the layers of an onion. Since indoor heating is less common in Taiwan, most people rely on this method to cope with winter.
