Leggings have become increasingly popular in Korean fashion, but their acceptability depends on the context and setting. South Korea is known for its conservative dress sense, and dress codes are particularly strict for schools, government offices, and religious places. While leggings may be acceptable in casual or fitness settings, they may not be appropriate in formal settings or when visiting religious places. Visitors to South Korea should dress conservatively and be culturally sensitive. Alternatives to leggings include loose-fitting pants, jeans paired with a long top or blouse, and midi-length skirts or dresses with stockings or tights.
