Welcome to Wikinae’s Korean Slang #22

Do you know a color or style that is a perfect match for you? If you know what looks good on you, it will help you to style yourself better

In today’s post, let’s find out how Koreans say “a color or style that goes along perfectly with oneself”!

착붙 is short for ‘착 달라붙듯 잘 어울린다’ which means ‘a color or style that best suits oneself’.

This term is mainly used in the beauty field, such as fashion and cosmetics. The use of this term has increased as ‘personal color’ has become a trend in Korea.

From the color that best suits one’s skin tone to the fashion that best suits one’s style, 착붙 is a word that can be used to describe cosmetics, clothing, and accessories.
