What to wear in February
Late winter, still cold with wide daily swings. Layer a knit under a coat.
February still belongs to winter even as spring nears. Late cold lingers while afternoons ease up, so the daily swing starts to widen — below freezing in the morning, above it by midday.
Keep the heavy outer but make the inner layers easy to adjust. A knit under a coat, thinned out when the afternoon warms, carries you through the day's gap.
Seoul averages −4°C at night and 7°C by day. Mornings feel much like January while afternoons climb to 7°C, so a single day spans winter and early spring. Keep the winter outer and thin out what goes underneath.

What to wear in February, women and men
For women in February, keep the winter coat and swap only the inner layer for a thinner knit to catch the milder afternoon. For men the same applies: hold the outerwear, thin out what goes underneath, and one outfit covers a sub-zero morning and an above-zero midday.
