“冰箱裤”成为韩国女性防暑降温新时尚

正在经历高温酷暑的韩国女性今夏又引领了一个新潮流——冰箱裤。这种裤子由不易起皱的聚酯纤维面料制成，质地轻薄、透气性好、不粘皮肤，而且采用松紧裤腰，穿着很舒适。无论在首尔还是釜山，所有女孩都在穿这种冰箱裤。随着气温不断升高，冰箱裤持续成为各大门户网站的热搜词之一，在网络商店和实体商店都极其畅销。韩国最大的在线裤装商店可可马琳的李先生表示，去年夏天冰箱裤的流行趋势就可窥一斑了，而今年夏天该店70%的销售额都是冰箱裤贡献的。据介绍，冰箱裤价格低廉，黑白款的售价一般为5000韩元（约27元人民币），颜色和图案更丰富的款式价格从7000韩元（约38元人民币）到40000韩元（约219元人民币）不等。受高温天气影响，韩国的用电量在本周一达到历史新高。为了节能环保，韩国政府在19,000个公共机构强制关闭空调。

Is South Korea's government's power-saving campaign, which has included drastic measures like turning off air conditioners at 19,000 public organizations, to blame for the rise of "refrigerator pants?"

Like much of Northeast Asia, South Korea is enduring a massive heat wave -- the country nearly had a blackout Monday with power demand reaching record heights -- and South Koreans have been scrambling to keep cool as best they can.

Unlike, say, the past 20 fashion trends that all South Koreans embraced and discarded before anyone else knew they were a thing (neon skinny jeans, winged sneakers, lightning-bolt-shaped plastic earrings, platform Converses), the latest hottest fashion trend is based on the "cooling" functionality.
