Monday, June 23, 2025 • Duration 14:19

Can you guess where someone’s from just by how they dress? In this episode, Mindy and Joeru dive into the unique fashion vibes across Asia — from Taiwan’s comfy streetwear to Japan’s polished layers and Korea’s trendsetting looks.

In this episode, we cover:
– Why climate, culture, and social values shape national dress
– What makes Taiwanese style so uniquely practical (and full of surprises)
– How Japan and Korea express politeness, precision, and pop culture through clothing
– How China’s cities showcase different fashion scenes
– Our own fashion evolutions — and how moving abroad has changed how we dress
