Squid Game has blown our minds and changed the way we look at Korean drama series forever. If you’re like me you’ve probably spent hours upon hours binge-watching both seasons. One thing that caught my eye (and I’m sure yours too) was the outfits. Those Squid Game jackets are everywhere on my social media and trust me they look just as good in real life as they do on screen. I’ve been looking at these jackets up close and I can tell you the attention to detail is amazing. The designers have really captured the character’s essence. As someone who’s watched every episode, I can say these jackets are trending because of the show’s popularity. And they’re actually well-made and look good. Today, I’ll be sharing all the little details that make these jackets special. So get comfortable and let’s have a look at these amazing Squid Game jackets.
1. The Man Behind Player 456 & His Outerwear
Seong Gi-hun’s transformation from Season One to Season Two is like watching someone rise from the ashes. When we first saw him, he was just trying to survive but now he’s fighting to save others. Lee Jung-Jae brings so much depth to this character you can’t help but root for him. In Season 2 we see Gi-hun become someone who’s willing to risk everything to uncover the truth behind the games. What makes him so special is how real he is. He makes mistakes, struggles with tough choices, and has to sacrifice others for the greater good.
The green track jacket he wears is special. First off, it’s made with this awesome polycotton fabric that’s soft but can handle daily wear. The makers really thought about comfort when they added the viscose inner lining. The stand-up collar keeps your neck warm and has that sporty look we love from the series. You get four pockets total, two on the front and two hidden inside for keeping special items safe. The full-length sleeves have ribbed cuffs that look cool and keep you warm. Moreover, the green color matches what Gi-hun wore in the show perfectly. It’s bright enough to stand out but not so bright you can’t wear it daily. The zipper closure makes it easy to put on and take off and you can adjust how you wear it depending on the weather.
The Full Player 456 Look
You can start with a plain white crew neck T-shirt that is not too tight and not too loose. Cotton is best because it’s comfortable and breathable. Put it on first and smooth out any wrinkles so it sits flat under the jacket. Now the track pants. Go for black ones with a bit of stretch. They should feel comfortable when you move. Look for pants with an elastic waist and maybe some side pockets. The fit should be relaxed but not baggy. Put these on after your t-shirt, making sure they sit well at your waist.
Here’s how to wear the jacket on. First, put your arms through the sleeves one at a time, making sure the cuffs sit properly on your wrists. Then, zip it up about halfway,, this looks casual and lets the white t-shirt show through. Adjust the collar so it stands nicely and make sure the jacket sits smoothly over your shoulders and back.
Pro Tip: To make the look even more real, try recreating some of the iconic poses and scenes for photos. Have someone crouch down like they’re about to play marbles, or line up as the players did before Red Light, Green Light.
2. The Loyal Friend Ali
Ali’s story in Squid Game touches us in ways we never thought possible. Anupam Tripathi gave us a character so pure and innocent that his betrayal was like a punch to the gut. Ali always called everyone “sir” and tried his best to help others. He was kind in a game that was all about cruelty. Ali came to Korea for a better life for his family, worked hard, and didn’t get paid. His story shows us how good people can end up in bad situations. When he joined the game he brought that same work ethic and loyalty and that’s why his fate is even more heartbreaking.
This blue jacket is a part of Ali’s character. The parachute fabric of the jacket makes it light but strong. Inside is a super soft viscose lining that feels like a dream to wear. The stand-up collar gives it that Squid Game look and the zipper closure makes it easy to put on and off. You get four pockets, two outside for things you need to access quickly and two inside for keeping important things safe. The full-length sleeves fit perfectly. The whole jacket feels durable but comfortable.
Ali’s Complete Look
Begin with a plain gray cotton T-shirt. It should be a loose fit but not baggy. The gray color goes well with the blue jacket. Put this on first and make sure it’s smooth and wrinkle-free. Then, choose khaki or light brown work pants. They should be sturdy cotton, straight-leg fit, with some wear to them. After your t-shirt and pants are on, put on the jacket. Let the collar stand naturally. Zip it up 3/4 of the way to show a bit of the gray shirt underneath. Check that the sleeves fall at your wrists. Brown leather work boots finish off the look. Make sure they’re comfortable because you might be wearing them all day. Lace them up tight but not too tight.
Final Words
The influence of Squid Game Jackets goes beyond the show itself. Each piece we’ve looked at today carries the weight of its character’s story. What makes these pieces special is that they balance authenticity with wearability. The attention to detail in each jacket means you get something that’s true to the show but practical enough to wear every day. As the show continues to gain global attention these jackets become a way for fans to connect with their favourite characters and share their love for the show.
