[E-MAG] K-Pop Spring Trends 2017


As the seasons change, it’s the perfect time for some new additions to your wardrobe. The world of K-Pop is a great source of fashion inspiration, so let’s take a look at just a few of the trends we’ve noticed over the past few months!


Puffy, Souvenir and Bomber Jackets

These jackets are pretty much always popular, especially in the K-Pop world. They are also a great item to throw over any outfit to give you a little bit of an edge (not to mention, keep you warm!)

As said, puffy, souvenir and bomber jackets have been popular among K-Pop idols for quite a long time now, but some recent examples can be seen in BTS’ ‘Not Today’ and Seventeen’s BOOM BOOM.

There’s a jacket to suit any tastes – plain, metallic, patterned. You can also go for some bold and cool embroidery.





- SUGGESTION:



Blue Vanilla Silver Metallic Bomber Jacket – New Look: £15

Knee High Boots

Another great item to have for when spring gives us torrential downpours! Knee high boots are cool and practical. They come in a variety of styles; you could go feminine and chic, badass and chunky, high heeled or flat. Of course, they also go with a variety of outfits – over jeans, with skirts or shorts.

Knee high boots have been worn by many K-Pop ladies lately, including Luna, Hani and Solar in their ‘HONEYBEE’ MV and the members of TWICE in ‘KNOCK KNOCK’




SUGGESTION:



ASOS KOBUS Lace Up Over The Knee Boots – ASOS: £55

Chokers

Yes, another item that has been fashionable for a long time now – chokers! These simple necklaces made a comeback along with a lot of other 90s fashion items. It tapped into the nostalgia that has been prevalent over the last few years, where people yearn for what they used to know and bond over simpler times, perhaps when they were children or young teens.

It seems that chokers are still very popular right now for K-Pop idols, and you will probably see at least one in every music video, especially with girl groups. We can see different versions of choker necklaces in Taeyeon’s ‘I Got Love’ and GFRIEND’s ‘Fingertips’ videos.





- SUGGESTION:



Black Drop Chain Choker – River Island: £7

Bright and Contrasting Colour Combinations

Wearing boldly contrasting colours is usually considered a huge fashion faux-pas, but the brave as ever K-Pop stars make it work in their favour.

The key to pulling off this trend is confidence – just pick a couple of block colours and try them out. A good thing about the seasons changing is that it can fill you with the urge to try something daring and new. If all else fails, you could try match some bright colours with blacks, whites or maybe some denim.

We can see this style in gugudan’s ‘A Girl Like Me’ and Lovelyz ‘WoW!’ MVs.
