See what Seoul is wearing — right now
The easiest way to gauge Seoul’s weather and street style is a live cam. Hongdae Live streams a 4K view of the crosswalk at Hongik Univ. Station, 24/7, with the current time and temperature right on screen. Watch for a minute and you’ll see exactly what people are wearing — light dresses and shorts on a humid summer afternoon, layers in spring and autumn, padded coats in winter.
What to wear in Seoul, by season
Seoul has four distinct seasons, so what you pack changes a lot:
- Spring (Mar–May): Mild but changeable. Light layers and a jacket for cool evenings. Cherry blossoms arrive late March to April.
- Summer (Jun–Aug): Hot and humid, often above 30°C. Breathable, light clothing, and an umbrella for the rainy spell (late June–July).
- Autumn (Sep–Nov): Crisp and comfortable — many travelers’ favourite season. Layers and a light coat.
- Winter (Dec–Feb): Cold and dry, often below freezing. A warm padded coat, gloves, and a hat.
When in doubt, check the live cam the morning you head out — it’s the most up-to-date “what to wear in Seoul” answer you’ll find.
Travel light — store the rest
Packing for changeable weather gets bulky, so travel light and store what you don’t need. If you’re around Hongdae, you can leave your bags at a luggage storage spot near Hongik Univ. Station and explore hands-free.
