How to Wear White Shirt Dresses In Korean Style

We are always told to choose garments that suit to our figure, but ever wonder the new fad of wearing an oversized shirt dress? The versatile trend gives you various stylish combos from office wear, resort wear to casual wear.
Unlike 5 Kinds Of Shirt Dresses To Make You Chic, this time I want to show you how to wear the white oversized shirt dress in Korean-style way.
1. Pairing With a Corset Belt
This one hits different, I'm not gonna lie. There's something about throwing a black corset belt over a whiteknee-length dress that just... works? It creates this whole contrast thing—like structure meets flow, you know?
The black and white combo is pretty foolproof, and it does that thing where it makes your waist look tiny and kind of elongates everything else. I usually just throw on some minimal shoes with this because honestly, the belt's already doing the heavy lifting. It's become my go-to when I can't figure out what to wear but need to look like I tried.
2. Pairing With Leggings
Leggings under a shirt dress is such a classic Korean move, and it's honestly so much more practical than people give it credit for. Plus it reads really feminine somehow? Maybe it's the contrast between the loose dress and the fitted leggings, idk.
The cropped leggings or the ankle-length ones are where it's at though. There's something about showing a little bit of ankle that makes the whole thing feel more intentional and less like "I just threw this on." Add a belt if you're feeling it, or some accessories—whatever makes it feel like you.
Works great with flats or sneakers too, which is basically all I wear most days anyway.
3. Paring With Jeans
Korean women/ girls like to wear the skinny jeans with a loose shirt dress and heels to create a visual difference —tuck the shirt into jeans to lengthen their leg lines and making them look more slender as well.
Or choose the sneakers/ flats to highlight a laid-back effect.
4. Paring With a Denim Jacket
5. Paring With a Blazer
If you need to look like you have your life together (even if you... don't), the blazer combo is your friend.
Black blazer over a white shirt dress is literally the most classic office look ever. Add some pointed-toe heels or mules, grab a decent bag, and boom—you look capable and professional.
It's the outfit equivalent of answering emails on time and having your calendar color-coded. You know what I mean?
6. Paring With a Belt
Just a simple belt can totally change the whole vibe. It cinches everything in, shows off your waist, and gives the dress some actual shape instead of just... flowing everywhere.
If you've got longer legs, maybe try a maxi shirt dress with thigh slits? It's got that subtle sexy thing going on while still being super wearable.
For my shorter friends (or anyone who wants to adjust proportions), a knee-length dress with a belt creates this nice definition that balances everything out. It's honestly such an easy fix.
7. Paring With Stilettos
Want to make a simple white dress look expensive? Stilettos.
I'm partial to leather ones because they just have that quality look, you know? Black is the obvious safe choice, but honestly, a pop of color—like red or yellow or even rose—can make the whole outfit feel more fun and seasonal. Plus colored heels go with basically everything, which is dangerous for my bank account but great for my closet.
8. Paring With Ankle Boots
Ankle boots automatically make things look more sophisticated, I feel like? Especially the leather ones with chunky heels.
This is perfect when you want to look polished but not too dressy. Add a cool bag or some statement jewelry and you've got yourself a casual-but-make-it-fashion situation. Works for basically any season too, which is nice.
9. Pair With A T-shirt
10. Pairing With Dungarees
11. Paring With a Vest
For that preppy academic look, layer a vest (or sweater vest) right over your buttoned shirt dress.
It adds dimension and gives you that whole "I go to a café to study with aesthetic stationery" vibe. Pair with black shoes or loafers and you're set. It's one of those combinations that just works together, you know?
FAQ: The Questions I Get About This
Q: So are skinny jeans totally dead now or...?
A: Not really? They're more like a reliable backup option. Great for layering in cold weather or when you want something more fitted and feminine. But if you're trying to look current and on-trend, wide-leg trousers are having their moment right now. It's more about what vibe you're going for.
Q: Why is everyone suddenly wearing socks with loafers? I don't get it.
A: It's that whole intentional styling thing—it makes the outfit feel more thought-out and connects to the 90s/schoolgirl aesthetic that's everywhere in Seoul street style right now. Basically it turns regular shoes into a statement. Whether you're into it or not is totally up to you though.
Q: What kind of fit should I look for in a white shirt dress?
A: Oversized and flowy is the move for 2025. The Korean approach is all about comfort and movement—your dress should drape nicely, not cling. You add structure with other things like belts and blazers, not the dress itself.
Q: What bag shape works best with these voluminous dresses?
A: Something structured and compact. Since the dress is already big and flowy, you want your bag to have some rigidity to create contrast. Think mini shoulder bags, geometric shapes, or sleek crossbodies. It balances out all that volume.
Q: Can I still make this work if I'm petite?
A: For sure! The belt trick is your best friend—it helps define your waist and adjusts the proportions so you're not drowning in fabric. Knee-length dresses generally work better than maxis, but honestly just play around and see what feels right on you.
