Where would you go to buy a suit (for women) in Seoul?

Question

Hi all! Im in Seoul for a couple of days and I'd like to a woman's suit. Where would I go? Budget is high. Ideally looking for a Korean brand but other good suit designers or something similar would be welcome too.

Thanks in advance!

For high-end Korean suiting, hit Apgujeong Rodeo Street. Brands like J.ESTINA and AVOUAVOU do really sharp women's tailoring with that clean Korean silhouette. If you want something more avant-garde, push into Hannam-dong and check out the showroom for J Koo, his cuts are architectural but still office-appropriate. Most of these shops operate by appointment so call ahead, and budget around 2-5 million won for the good stuff.

ngl you should check out the Bum's in Myeongdong. it's a custom tailoring shop that's been around since the 70s, they do incredible women's suits with really clean lines. the owner speaks decent english and they'll measure you up on the spot, pick fabrics from their basement stash. expect to pay around 1.5-3 million won for a full suit, takes about 3 days. way more personal than department store shopping imo

If you're in Gangnam, stop into the Shinsegae Department Store in the Express Bus Terminal area. The womenswear floor has a dedicated section for Korean suiting brands like SYSTEM and O'2nd that do really clean, tailored cuts. The personal shoppers there speak English and can pull pieces from different brands for you to mix and match. For something more exclusive, make a reservation at the RECTO flagship in Cheongdam, their blazers have that sharp Korean shoulder line but the fabrics are lighter and more breathable.

Honestly, head to Hyundai Department Store in Coex. The menswear floors get all the attention, but the women's suiting section on the fifth floor has a bunch of Korean brands you won't see much outside of Asia, like DEW E DEW E and GIAMBATTISTA VALLI. Their personal shopper service is legit and they can set up private viewings if you call ahead.
