Ready For Sunny Days: 10 Spring/Summer Trends Your Fave K-Drama Stars Are Wearing
It’s that sweet spot between Spring and Summer in Korea, where the weather is just warm enough during the day and still quite chilly at night. This is the perfect time for fashion too, as people are done with winter’s heavy coats and are ready for lighter fabrics and stylish layering. But this transition weather can make it hard for us to decide what to wear, so we’re looking at K-stars for much-needed inspiration. Here’s what K-drama stars were seen wearing in the magazines and during their off-duty days!
Summer suits and sets
Who says you can’t wear suits when the weather is warm? Casual suits are perfect for both business and pleasure, as seen on Shin Min Ah who’s wearing a chic shorts suit and matching set that looks elegant and sophisticated while still looking fun!
Ha Ji Won opted for a neutral linen suit which is not only breathable and comfortable, but also simply pretty just like she is.
Fresh florals
Florals in Spring isn’t groundbreaking, but there’s a reason why they’re a staple during this season. The captivating colors can brighten any look, and you can easily dress it up for a night in the town or keep it casual for a day picnic. Nana is feminine and stunning in her pastel-colored midi dresses, while Go Jun Hee styled her floral dress in casual sneakers for an easy, effortless look!
Floral-inspired accessories
For millennials, remember those colorful, dainty, beaded flower rings that were popular during our childhood? These were also popular during the ’70s, during the famous slogan Flower Power movement. It looks like this trend is coming back again and adding a touch of cuteness to any outfit! Big flower earrings are also on trend, with Yoon Eun Hye showing how she wears hers in her fashion video, while Shin Min Ah was seen modeling floral drop earrings and strappy sandals with flower details.
