Now I know we have fads in the west, but Koreans take them to new heights. One feature which I have always felt Korea lacks is artistic/creative diversity. All K-Pop kinda sounds the same, all TV dramas have the exact same theme and ending, there seems to be 3-4 hair cuts for men and I do like the pictures of flowers and food that everyone takes. So when an item becomes fashionable you see it on a scale you would not anywhere else.
This fall it is shirts with horizontal stripes, usually black and white but occasionally blue and white. I mean on a bus of 34 people I counted nine people with the same shirt and a tenth with a hat with above mentioned stripes.
It is so ridiculous that a good friend of mine has started a blog to document this Korean phenomenon:

If you are here look around at the nearest Coffee shop or WaBar. I bet a fifth of the men have that shirt on.
