The Current Trend in 2014:
In the trend of "Airport Fashion," the focus is not just the clothing. On Fashion In Korea, the main focuses are the shoes, bags, and sunglasses. They are the most common fashion key words of "Airport Fashion."

The Shoes:

Korean actress and fashionista Gong Hyo Jin and X Excuse Me line’s French Biker Boots (that she designed herself) 

Since the season is fall, the fashion is mainly over-sized sweaters, trench coats, leggings and/or skinny jeans. This style is matched with ankle boots or biker boots (or knee-high boots, but the current trend is ankle.) Fashion In Korea says that biker boots, such as the picture above, give a rock star vibe to a plain look.

The Bags:

The bags are usually totes or larger in fall colors, mainly in black or brown. There is also another trend of bags. Designer backpacks such as MCM designer backpacks has become a current trend among the Korean celebrities at the airport.

The next items are the sunglasses. Many celebrities or idols do not have time to put on make-up early in the morning so they use sunglasses. It is the most common and the most important item among the celebrities.
