Korean fashion is characterized by pullovers, sweatshirts, wide-leg pants, T-shirts layered over strappy skirts, denim hot pants, and torn jeans.

Style Tips for K-Pop Stars

After talking about the essentials for your wardrobe, let's move on to some advice for designing the ideal K-pop outfits.


1. How much clothing is too much?

Simply layer your clothing. Be imaginative, feel free to contrast and contrast colours, and experiment with various prints. By layering, you can customise your appearance and come up with a new look each time you wear the same old things. There are many different methods to layer your clothing so you can easily achieve a unique style. Wear a vest and blouse with a miniskirt or layer a leather jacket over a button-down shirt and a T-shirt. Wear tight tops with slim pants to complete the look.


2. More Accessories Are Due to You

When trying to dress like a K-pop star, accessories are essential because they add character to your clothing. Rings can be worn on any finger; keep in mind, they are not just for the ring finger. Consider wearing a Casual pendant, dangling earrings, ear cuffs, bracelets, and large, ornate sunglasses. Try several styles of hats, such as beanies, floppy hats, baseball caps, or bucket hats, to match your outfits since hats are also a crucial piece of K-pop fashion. Additionally, don't forget about hair accessories like bow clips, headbands, and bobby pins. Try something novel and remarkable since whatever you wear must be outstanding.


3. Gender-neutral Clothing in K-Pop

To mainstream genderless fashion, almost all K-pop idols dress in unisex attire. Popular K-pop boy bands like BTS, TXT, GOT7, NCT, and Big Bang are pushing the limits of fashion. They don't hesitate to deviate from gender expectations. Gender norms are continuously being broken down by K-pop idols, whether it is during a concert or in airport fashion. To demonstrate that clothing has no gender, you can find well-known K-pop idols wearing corsets, skirts, lace shirts, nail art, and crop tops. Simply exhibit your gender identity and self-confidence like your role models.


4. K-pop Idols' Cosmetics

K-pop is renowned for its shimmering cosmetics, striking eyeshadow, and precise eyeliner. To achieve the look, use sparkly eyeshadow and sparkling eyeliner. Rhinestones can be adhered anywhere on your face to add glitz, including the cheekbones, the area around the eyes, and the forehead. And if you want to experiment with various cosmetic glows, choose a bright or vibrant colour scheme. Use high-quality primer and foundation to obtain smooth, flawless glass skin like K-pop stars. Additionally, you can more successfully imitate their makeup look by using highlighter to give your face a sharp 'V' shape and contour to give your chin the same shape.


5. Cutout Clothing

Try to wear “hollower” when dressing like a K-pop star. Take your worn-out hoodies, T-shirts, and trousers and cut them. You can cut, trim, and crop your old clothing to create a stunning ensemble. V from BTS is well renowned for his incredible T-shirt cuts. Like Lisa from Black Pink, who frequently dons cut-out clothing, her fitted hollow denim jacket made headlines in 2018. Cut-out leggings from Momoland's Hawasa were perfect for the show. Yeji from ITZY rocked a stylish cut-out furry cape ensemble at the Golden Disc Award ceremony.
