#9 Fila Korea | 휠라 코리아

We know what you're thinking, that's not a Korean brand! Fun fact: Fila is an Italian brand founded in 1911. In 2007, it was sold to Fila Korea and became a 100% Korean streetwear fashion brand. The label is now a Korean streetwear essential where you can get everything from t-shirts and hoodies to sneakers, sandals and bags.

When it comes to Korean street style, logos are meant to be flaunted, which is why many brands like Fila have stylish logos in cool colour combinations. An effortless outfit to throw on is your go-to basics like jeans and denim skirts with this Fila Big Linear Logo Regular Fit T-shirt ($50). The simple logo on a crisp white tee adds athleisure vibes to your look instantly. This Fila Court Backpack in navy ($85) will also add a sporty edge to your everyday outfits.

Other highlights are the Fila Color Block Heritage Tote Ecobag in Pink and Red ($55) which are durable and easy to style with your street style ensembles. We imagine the pastel pink and purple one would look great with a simple crop top and denim bottoms.

#10 Guess Korea | 게스

Guess is another one that you might not recognise as a Korean brand and rightly so. It's an American brand, but Guess Korea started its independent operations in 2007 where they introduced distinctly K-style apparel that reflects the trends in Korea and with cuts that better fit the Asian figure.

Many of their clothes are unisex which makes them perfect for sharing with your equally fashionable other half. The Unisex Guess Graffiti logo Semi-overfit T-shirt ($56) above which can be worn as a long t-shirt or tucked to create a cropped look.

You can shop all these Korean brands and more at StyleupK.com, a Seoul-based fashion site that works directly with popular brands in Korea to bring them to our shores. The shipping fees are fairly affordable at $10 for orders below $100 and free for orders $100 and above.

StyleupK is planning on bringing in even more local Korean designer brands in the future. If there's a particular Korean brand you love but can't find on their website, you can drop them a suggestion to bring it on board or even make a custom order of the exact item you want.
