It’s the start of 2018, which means it’s time to welcome new adventures, reignite work or school goals, and perhaps try a fresh new look. Whether it’s a simple haircut or a drastic, full-on head-to-toe makeover, facing the new year is definitely going to feel different once you change a thing or two. If you’re thinking about investing in a few new things to wear and looking for ideas on how to update your look, we’ve gathered some inspiration from Korean fashion, its stars and their cool essentials to hang in your closet!
Pantone’s official color of the year is ultraviolet and there’s a lot of Korean stars already cashing in on this luxurious hue. As Pantone puts it, “Lush velvets in the color suggest intrigue for evening, but are also unexpectedly modern in athleisure or sneakers. In accessories, jewelry, and eyewear, ultraviolet suggests the complexities of natural gems, textures, and florals.” In short, ultraviolet is a very versatile color you can either dress up or dress down.
Yoon Eun Hye and AOA’s Seolhyun in a rich, deep purple color at a fashion event
Kim Yoo Jung looked simple, fresh, and sophisticated in a lilac gown
T-ara’s Hyomin dressed in a matching casual purple look that’s perfect for the summer, SHINee’s Key wore a distressed jean jacket, while CL dressed down her velvet pantsuit with sneakers
Seolhyun and Block B’s Zico in striking sportswear
Seohyun’s bag makes a cute addition to any outfit!
K-pop is a thriving place for ultraviolet-inspired hair. Hani had pink and purple undertones, model Irene Kim sported a deep purple shade, and RM had candy hair
SEVENTEEN’s Jeonghan
WINNER’s Mino had gray and faded purple shades
If you’re not quite ready to snip off a chunk of your long hair, take inspiration from Krystal, Seohyun, and YoonA’s chic bobs that give off a lighter, fresher, and younger look.
This trend is probably too ubiquitous, but if you live in a country with a winter season, long padded coats are not only “in” but they’re also extremely helpful in warding off the cold.
TWICE’s Tzuyu and Sunmi
Wendy, Joy, and Seulgi of Red Velvet
Speaking of cold, there are several ways to add some fun to your winter wardrobe like bright knits, argyle, and patterned pullovers.
ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo
Shin Se Kyung
Sheer and lace dresses are a no-fail choice for a night out, so it’s always good to have at least one in your closet. Velvet dresses may be a bit harder to pull off because of the heavy fabric, but it’s definitely a trend item for the stylishly bold and brave.
A small yet interesting bag can take you from day to night, while a standout bag can make a plain outfit extra special!
It was all about the checked suits in the latter half of 2017, and it seems like the “it” textiles aren’t dying down, while plaid outfits are making a comeback!
Invest in comfy yet cool sneakers.
A leather beret is a nice addition to top off any look.
This year, don’t be afraid of wearing colors! Make the year so much brighter and more fun, not just with a new style but also with a new outlook in life!
