I once saw a saying on the Internet that North Korean women can only wear skirts and not pants. So, do North Korean women really only wear skirts and not pants? In fact, this is not the case. I have been to North Korea several times in recent years. On the streets of North Korea, women not only wear skirts, but also pants. However, North Korean women apparently prefer wearing skirts to wearing pants. Especially in summer, many North Korean women wear skirts.
North Korean women are very particular about their clothes. Nowadays, monotonous and old-fashioned clothes are being replaced by trendy clothes. North Korean women are keen on wearing short skirts and high heels. North Korea's Moranbong Band is leading the dressing trend of North Korean women. In the past, North Korean women wore skirts, mostly long skirts, and the length of the skirts needed to cover the knees. Nowadays, you can often see women holding parasols, wearing short skirts and high heels walking past you on the streets of Pyongyang. They wore light makeup and wavy hair, exuding a retro and fashionable atmosphere.
Nowadays, North Korean women's skirts are gradually becoming shorter than the knees. North Korean women like to wear skirts in spring, summer and autumn, but obviously more pants are worn in winter. This is very different from the rumors on the Internet that North Korean women do not wear pants and only wear skirts. Even in summer, you can see North Korean women wearing pants. In North Korea, it is a tradition for women to wear skirts. In fact, it is similar for Korean women. If attending a formal occasion, women should wear skirts, otherwise it will be considered impolite. The pants worn by North Korean women are mostly black, white and blue. They are the wide-leg pants that were popular in my country in the 1990s.
North Korean women also like to wear pants when riding bicycles. It is said that North Korean women were not allowed to ride bicycles in the past, but now more and more women are riding bicycles. On the streets of North Korea, you can often see slender girls wearing wide-leg pants and riding bicycles. Young North Korean women like to wear high heels and stockings. Especially flesh-colored and black stockings are the most popular.
I think the most fashionable people in North Korea are North Korean students. North Korean students all wear uniforms and walk on the streets like bright and fashionable little princesses. I saw many North Korean primary school girls. Their school uniforms, with bright colors, lace, and bows on their necklines, became a sight on the street.
