Stylish K-Drama Couples
Stylish K-Drama Couples
Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol
Lee Jae-wook and Go Ara in ‘Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol’ are respectively the positive and negative sides of a magnet. Lee Jae-wook who is more of a minimalist is paired with Go Ara who plays a down-on-her-luck pianist who likes extravagance more than anything.
Lee Jae-wook
All throughout the series you can spot Lee Jae-wook sporting plain crisp button downs and shirts. This black and white look on him has got to be his most adventurous look!
Go Ara
Go Ara brought the fashion in this love team with her ruffled dresses, Peter Pan-collared blouses, and interesting patterns like gingham and floral galore. This beige milkmaid dress on her is her most darling look in the series.
Run On
Run On tells a modern tale about a former track star played by Im Si-wan and a feisty translator/interpreter played by Shin Se-kyung. The two collided the worlds of athleisure and smart casual chic!
Im Si-wan
Im Si-wan had an abundance of athleisure looks in the series including a number of outfits styled with windbreakers, hoodies, and training wear. It was interesting to see him grow out of his stereotypical track star label and become a man with his own sense of style. This black and white with a pop of red look proves just that!
Shin Se-kyung
Shin Se-kyung showed off her English-speaking skills and her smart casual style in ‘Run On’. She took a number of wardrobe staples like blazers, pleated skirts, and coveted designer crossbody bags into play. This lovely look has impeccable styling from head-to-toe! We love how she was able to mix and match colors and textures in her wardrobe in the series.
Lovestruck In The City
Ji Chang-wook and Kim Ji-won looked like a real couple in ‘Lovestruck In The City’! The two established an incredible chemistry on screen and they both complemented their looks with muted neutrals and simple silhouettes.
Ji Chang-wook
As a passionate architect in the series, Ji Chang-wook flawlessly showed contemporary styling with his coats, turtlenecks, and elevated casual wear pieces.
Kim Ji-won
While Chang-wook stayed true to his almost monochromatic style, Kim Ji-won explored more on warm and cool-toned colors like blues, browns, and yellows. The two complemented each other like two peas in a pod!
True Beauty
Given that they starred in a high school setting, both Cha Eun-woo and Moon Ga-young had ensembles with structured lines and sensible color-blocking. The preppy set-up enabled them to don patterns like plaid and stripes among many others.
Cha Eun-woo
Cha Eun-woo made use of some key pieces like teddy coats, varsity jackets, vests, and this wool sweater to elevate his uniform.
Moon Ga-young
Moon Ga-young also stood out with accessories that gave her uniform personality. Spot her wear a number of ribbons, neck ties, pearlized headbands, and the like!
Hyena
In ‘Hyena’, both Ju Ji-hoon and Kim Hye-soo dressed to impress. While battling their own way into the series’ dog-eat-dog world, the two had strong suit ensembles that were more than enough to make a statement. This pair is arguably the K-drama industry’s fiercest duo.
Ju Ji-hoon
If you’re fond of a man in a suit, you’ll absolutely swoon over Ju Ji-hoon in ‘Hyena’. His almost predictable wardrobe comes in handy when the scene calls for something bolder and better. Although we love him in a classic black suit, it definitely felt like a breath of fresh air to see him in a statement blue suit or a head-to-toe neutral brown look.
Kim Hye-soo
Kim Hye-soo never fell short of looks to show in the series. Hye-soo kept destroying stereotypes with her pixie-cut hair and her unmissable suits. From purples, oranges, and reds, expect to see Hye-soo in pieces you'd want to wear in real life.
Itaewon Class
‘Itaewon Class’ broke ground as one of the few K-dramas to shed light into the streetwear culture in South Korea. Park Seo-joon and Kim Da-mi both donned coveted streetwear pieces from Yeezy, Virgil Abloh’s Off-White, and some underground South Korea brands like WKNDRS and DPRIQUE.
Park Seo-joon
For a sneaker head like PSJ, it wasn’t surprising to see him pull off so many streetwear looks in the series. From oversized bombers, statement puffer jackets, to neutral coats, PSJ really showed his rugged side in this series.
Kim Da-mi
Although Kim Da-mi’s wardrobe was predominantly streetwear inspired. Some of her looks had nods to hardcore rock culture and Japan’s Shibuya dressing. From chokers, studded boots, leather jackets, to graphic hoodies, and more, Da-mi had a roster of street style must-haves in every episode!
Record of Youth
Park Bo-gum and Park So-dam was a sight to see in ‘Record Of Youth’. The two both had so many tasteful minimalistic looks in the series where we can totally get inspiration from.
Park Bo-Gum
The moment Park Bo-gum conquered the runway during the first episode, we immediately knew that he could pass a modeling career in real life. As a model, he was able to show a wide range of looks from casual wear to high fashion ensembles. Although we have a number of favorites from him, this look remains our favorite!
Park So-dam
Park So-dam’s ever-optimistic character showed so many adorable looks in the series. She literally brought light and quirkiness in the series with her cardigans, printed tees, and spright-colored accessories.
The King: Eternal Monarch
Star-crossed lovers Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun gave us looks that can both speak for the past and present. ‘The King: Eternal Monarch’ abundantly showed contemporary styling done in two separate timelines.
Lee Min-ho
We’d be lying if we said we didn’t obsess over Lee Min-ho’s looks in ‘TKEM’. This double breasted coat and his Fendi FF motif coat still lives in our head rent free. We love how he incorporated both traditional and modern ensembles in the series.
Kim Go-eun
Kim Go-eun’s refined wardrobe in the series convinced us to invest on neutral pieces more than ever. Earth tones and classic silhouettes were the highlights of Go-eun’s impressive 'TKEM' looks.
It's Okay To Not Be Okay
Kim Soo-hyun and Seo Ye-ji's spellbinding romance gave us a rollercoaster ride of emotions. The two complemented each other's personalities and this chemistry was shown in their looks as well.
Kim Soo-hyun
Kim Soo-hyun's character in the series brought a sense of balance in terms of styling. To complement Seo Ye-ji's out-of-this-world looks, Soo-hyun donned pieces that are more muted and simple.
Seo Ye-ji
A sight to behold in a bold white and black Minju Kim dress or in a fierce ox red Valentino ensemble, Seo Ye-ji gave us looks that are to-die-for. Her looks perfectly encapsulated her character's growth story and that's more than enough for us to fan over 'IOTNBO' forever!
Crash Landing On You
Hyun Bin's strong utilitarian ensembles and Son Ye-jin's romantic high fashion looks prove that opposites do attract!
Hyun Bin
Always in structured coats and in monochrome, Hyun Bin really spruced up his character with minimalism. His stillness complemented Ye-jin's personality and sense of style in the series.
Son Ye-jin
Son Ye-jin gave us an array of looks to swoon over from the series. She offered so much relief to Hyun Bin's utilitarian looks with dresses and blouses that speak romance.
