Dressing like a K-pop star involves mastering the art of layering, embracing an abundance of accessories, challenging gender norms with unisex fashion and so much more.
How to dress like K-pop stars
K-pop has taken over the world like no other! In fact, in pop culture, there is no bigger name than K-pop at the moment. And while the music and food do play a big part in the Hallyu wave, K-Fashion, or specifically K-pop fashion is not one to be taken lightly either.
Avid K-pop fans may already be aware that Fashion 101 for K-pop stars starts and ends with pullovers, sweatshirts, wide-leg pants, T-shirts over strappy dresses, denim hot pants, and ripped jeans. But of course, there is so much more than you would have ever imagined.
Considering K-pop stars are known for their ‘aesthetic’ appeal and baby-smooth skin, they also have the ensemble to show for it.
Accessories play a vital role in amping up any and every look. Hair accessories such as clips, pins, headbands, bobby pins, bow clips and more are beloved by female K-pop stars. Apart from making a statement, they also add a hint of elegance to your look.
If you are a K-pop star, it is a given that you will have a minimum of 2 to 3 piercings. From earrings and studs to ear cuffs, K-pop stars never shy away from showing off their multiple piercings.
K-pop fashion is all about mixing, matching and getting creative through layers. From tees and leather jackets to shirts and vests and so much more, layers are an integral part of the fashion scene in K-pop.
No such things as too many accessories
While K-pop idols love their dainty jewellery, they make sure that they stack them up like nobody’s business. Multiple rings, bracelet stacks and layered necklaces are all a part of K-pop fashion.
K-pop idols are known for breaking gender norms in fashion. Unisex clothing is a common sight, and popular boy bands like BTS, NCT, Stray Kids and more are known to partake in genderless fashion trends.
