This weekend, my friends and I are going to watch BLACKPINK’s virtual concert. I was initially going to dress in black and pink, but my friends suggested that we should wear a BLACKPINK inspired look, instead.
The K-Pop industry’s budget is insane, so the girls have the most striking costume changes for all of their performances. My personal favorites were their glittery stage outfits at Coachella and their Tomb Raider outfits in “Kill This Love.” I also love seeing them dress in their sponsored designer labels, especially Jennie. She always looks so posh and trendy in Chanel. Lisa is the other member who stands out with her badass streetwear, oversized fur jackets and ever-changing hair color.
I rummaged through my closet, pulling out anything flashy, edgy and K-Pop-ish, and this monochrome look is what I came up with. The miniskirt has a perky girly silhouette, so I balanced it out with a modern asymmetrical crop top.
To accessorize, I put on a choker, which seems to be just as popular in Korea, as it is in the US. If I could spice up this outfit, even more, I would wear a harness or garter. I’m really into all of the unique body straps that Asian pop stars wear, but I haven’t found any that I like yet. This belt is the only accessory I have that resembles that style, so this will do for now. I actually bought it from YesStyle, which is an online Asian store that sells Korean and Japanese-inspired clothes and accessories. For shoes, a pair of booties are always reliable for both comfort and height.
The weather has gotten significantly colder this week, so for my final touch, I layered on my shearling jacket. It’s the perfect excuse to channel my inner Lisa.
Overall, I’d say this look is 10% “pretty” and 90% “savage.” How you like that???
