K-pop is known for setting fashion trends and new styles. While some
of the looks are truly noteworthy in the fashion world, some of the more
extreme styles only belong in the edgier world of music videos!
We’ve gathered one dozen K-pop fashion trends that can be worn
everyday. Whether you’d like to imitate the whole look or incorporate
the trends into your wardrobe with K-pop inspired accessories, you’re
sure to find something that will make you feel like your favorite K-pop
artist.
So without further delay, here are 12 K-pop fashion trends that you will love!
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
#1 Crazy Colored Hair: If you’re feeling bold, you can go for the
more shocking tones we see sported in K-pop. If you are more
conservative, try colored tips or highlites. If you’re still not
convinced that these bold colors are for you, then try a temporary hair
spray color like pink or blue. The colors are bright and vivid, but they
completely wash out after 1-2 showers.
#2 School Girl Look: K-pop has definitely been inspired by the
popularity of dramas like “Playful Kiss”, where we see the cast members
in adorable, preppy school uniforms. Female K-pop artists especially are
embracing this look which manages to be both flirty and innocent at the
same time.
#3 Outrageous Makeup: K-pop artists have always been fans of bold,
black eyeliner and heavily accentuated eyes. Lately however, we’re
seeing even bolder eyeshadows and huge, false eyelashes. Also seen
recently are bright lip colors or wacky patterns as seen on 2ne1 and
G-Dragon. The key to this trend is choosing just one feature to
accentuate. Stick to lips or eyes only… if you try to do both, you’ll
just end up looking like a clown!
#4 Feminine Hair Accesories: Stars like Lee Hi embrace their feminine
side with soft, sweet colors like different shades of pink. One of the
most popular trends among these ladies? Feminine hair accessories!
Whether it’s a cute bow, a quirky flower or a sweet headband, these
girls look adorable!
#5 Nerdy Glasses: Practically everyone has a pair of these glasses!
We’ve seen them in a variety of colors (from red to clear) but the most
common example among the stars is black. From fashion icons like T.O.P.
to Kim Hyun Joong, everyone is getting their geek on with these
thick frames.
#6 Neon Colors: Whether your style is funky like BIGBANG or more
feminine like Wonder Girls, bright neon colors are something you can
easily incorporate into your wardrobe! If you’re not ready to embrace
such bright colors in an entire outfit, try adding some accessories for a
pop of color. With electric blue bracelets or hot pink ballet flats,
any outfit will look fashionable!
#7 Animal Prints: Bold animal prints are especially popular right now
among K-pop artists. Their particular favorite seems to be this
leopard print in various shades and sizes. Whether it’s on a jacket or a
simple headband, both guys and girls in the K-pop industry are
embracing this trend.
#8 Military Accents: The military trend is very popular right now.
Although some artists are going for a full out military inspired outfit,
most just add military accents to their outfits with hats and jackets.
This is a stylish look that works for both males and females. If you’re a
girl, try adding just one military inspired piece to an otherwise
feminine outfit for a cute mixture of girly and tough. The key with this
trend is mixing the pieces into your outfit so you don’t look like
you’re wearing a costume!
#9 Baby Doll Makeup: The important factor in this trend is making it
look natural. The goal is to have flawless skin, blushing cheeks, pouty
pink lips and impossibly huge eyes. Forget the heavy eyeshadows and
concentrate on filling in the lash line with eyeliner and lots of
mascara to make your eyes look even bigger. Lips and cheeks should be
kept in the same rosy shade.
#10 Clashing 80′s Patterns: This trend isn’t for the faint of heart.
If your style is bold and funky like BIGBANG or 2ne1, this is the trend
for you! Take any 80′s inspired print and mix it with another bold
print. It works best if one print is larger than the other. Try a bold
print on top and a slightly smaller print on the bottom. To keep it from
clashing too much, add one piece to the outfit in a solid color. It
helps break up the patterns and give the outfit a center. When doing
this look, keep the accessories simple.
#11 Girly Mini-Dresses: When you’re feeling flirty and feminine, go
all out with a short, sweet mini-dress. The skirt should be full and
floaty. Shorter lengths keep it youthful and modern. This look
works best in softer tones like pastel pink and purple. Keep to the
trend and wear feminine accessories and sweet makeup.
#12 Colored Pants: While SHINee has been
wearing pastel pants for a while now, the trend is catching on with
other bands and artists as well. Boy bands are still seen wearing pastel
colors and girl bands are sticking to slightly bolder colors. Whether
you prefer soft pink or bright red, this look offers a way to express
your individuality while staying comfortable. Try these colored pants in
denim or in a chino version.
