Starcast/Feature: How To Wear Skinny Jeans – Learn it from the Girl Groups

[STARCAST-How to] “Skinny jean, we learned it from girl groups”

154012796_1

Girl group the principle of fashion, has to must show off slim body figures no matter what kind of clothes they wear. They have to react fast to what is popular and have to lead the trend. Skinny jean is an It item in that aspect. Just wearing it highlights the beautiful body figure and it matches well with everything.

We learn from girl groups!!

The first is a way to wear the skinny jean. The styling of girl groups’ skinny jean is divided into 4 parts. ▶Being chic with a leather skinny jean, ▶ showing off charisma with a ripped skinny jean. ▶Look fantastically cool with a printed skinny jean, ▶also emphasize the natural charm with a basic skinny jean.

We took a close look into girl groups’ skinny jean styling and ways to apply.

154012997_2

◆ Leather skinny jean = The experts of skinny jean wears this often. The style varies depending on whether it is glossy or not. Being glossy can emphasize sexiness and having no gloss can emphasize chicness.

Best girl = When it comes to a leather skinny jean, it is of course Hyun-a. She loves wearing the leather skinny jean regardless of whether it is on the stage, the photo wall or the real way. It is an item that is hard to be pulled off but there is no such thing as embarrassment. She shows a perfect beauty of the body figure by making the leather skinny jean stick tight to her slim body. Because of that, the sexy charm is upgraded.

How to = It is not Hyun-a if it looks normal. She matches the leopard fur to a leather skinny jean for the most of the time. But, to avoid ‘Too much’ styling, she unifies the top and bottom entirely with black. She makes her legs look long~er by wearing kill hills that is made up of similar material as the leather skinny jean.

The point = It is a leopard fur jacket that covers the waist slightly. Because of the short length, it is really showing the slim waist. A brown fur and the leather skinny jean are matching well in a fancy way. She heightened the sexy atmosphere with gold short hair and thick smoky make-ups.

Ways to apply ① Add leather to the leather!

If fur is too burdensome, then leather + leather style also looks good. It can give off a chic vibe while reducing the burden. Victoria matched a leather skinny jean to a leather rider jacket at the airport. She made it look less boring by adding in white details to the jacket and shoes.

Ways to apply ② Use a long outer jacket!

If the waist and hip line that is revealed in between the leather skinny jean, try matching the long outer clothes. It is the method of styling that CL uses often. To a khaki long military jacket that is trimmed with fur, she wore a black skinny jean. To this, she added charisma with thick chain necklace and walker shoes.

Ways to apply ③ With basic coat, the burden ↓

It is a way to coordinate the leather skinny jean that everyone can pull off easily. In the case of Yuri, she wore a light khaki coat with a leather skinny jean. She chose a tight coat, hid her legs and emphasized the beauty of body figure. To this, she wore black shoes that have noticeable kill hills and aimed for a rock chic charm.

154013482_6

◆ Ripped skinny jean = A ripped skinny jean is still highly popular even in the cold winter season. The ripped skinny jean has 2 styles. It is either to rip it in a really bold way until the knees are revealed or just slightly rip it. Let’s try the punk look with the ripped jean alone.

The best = The one who lead the ripped skinny jean style is Dara. She loves it so much that she has ripped skinny jean for every color. She shows a twist in her image with wild ripped skinny jean as it contrasts with her pretty looks.

How to = She style it in a manly way with a ripped skinny jean such as wearing a white t-shirt with a skinny jean that only ripped slightly the knee part. To this, layer the blue plaid shirt with black cardigan. She added charisma with black buckle boots.

The point = The point was the detail in the skinny jean. Dara’s skinny jean is connected in a row with silver chains from thigh to knee. Just like someone who prefers styles that are full of individuality, even her ripped skinny jean was different.

Stage costume is a significant factor especially for female groups. They put a lot of effort and time on adorning themselves. Female idol stars’ fancy accessories, special makeup, and daring costumes always catch audience’s eyes.

There are three female idol teams that have been receiving the hottest responses for their stage fashion: 2NE1, Miss A, and Hyorin. Let’s get some fashion tips from their stage look!

2NE1 has been sweeping the music chart with its new song ‘I Miss You,’ proving their power in the K-Pop world.

This time, 2NE1 members took off their signature strong, ‘bad-girl’ look. Instead, they mix-matched various fashion items like a one-piece and sweater to express each member’s individuality and different style.

Dara and Gong Minzy wore unique printed cardigan while Park Bom and CL matched their plaid items with a mini one-piece, making their feminine look more street-fashion looking.

The “FUR”, Flower of Winter, Becomes Young and Trendy

As the weather gets cold, the season of fur hasbegun. With its soft texture and high quality design, fur makes you look womanly and elegant.

If you’ve been avoiding fur because it makes you look old, then take a look at new fur styling for this winter. For this season, new fur styling is casually designed with short length and splendid colors.

Fur has been a most famous winter wear for female celebrities who are sensitive to new fashion trends. 4minute’s Hyun Ah, 2NE1’s Sandara Park, Girls Generation’s Sunny, and other actresses often coordinates their real way look with fur items.

‘Fur Vest,’  How to create Young and Chic Styles

bysfrnmgieh6kr6bextpf8e7lg0dn9zo

If you feel burdensome wearing a fur coat, then try wearing a fur vest. Fur vest creates casual and refined feelings.

Often, wearing a fur vest over different items creates different images of style. For example, Actress Yoon So Yi gave a point to all-black look by wearing a royal blue colored fur jacket over it. With short and tight fur vest with black skinny jeans, Yoon So Yi succeeded on emphasizing her chic feeling.

2NE1’s Sandara Park used her colorful fur vest as an item to show her unique characteristic. She arose the funky feeling by wearing black and yellow fur jacket with leather pants.

Dara Fashion Find: Goddess Sandara’s Different Looks from “Missing You” MV – Saint Laurent, Balmain, Versace, Giuseppi Zanotti, Fendi

For Missing You, the girls favored Saint Laurent quite heavily, with a touch of Versace and Balmain. Most of their outfits came straight from the runway, but some were more mix-and match. Let’s take a look at our darling Dara’s outfits which ranged from gloomy Marilyn-Monroe-esque, to colorful quirky, to alluring seductress, to toned down casual chic.

——————–

Dara’s first outfit from the group scene with the car is pure Saint Laurent. From head to toe. Like I’ve mentioned in the past, I love how the goth loli look works out for her. I love the dress, I love the fedora, and I love the boots.. What’s not to love in this $5500+ outfit, eh?

DFF_MY_1

Dara’s second outfit from the first half of the song is more colorful and eccentric, with a bunch of colors and textures ranging animal prints to dyed fur. Her skirt (I believe it’s a skirt and top since I saw a model in a magazine wear the same yellow fur, leopard skirt from Versace) is from Versace’s F/W 2013 collection, while her top (which I couldn’t find)  is from Rick Owens Her head piece is from Fendi, a rather quirky one at that, which all models who walked the ramp during fashion week had to wear. I love her black and white shoes and I plan to add it as soon as I can find it. Anyone want to help? ^^

DFF_MY_2_B

Her third outfit, which, safe to say, is everyone’s favorite (it’s mine, isn’t it yours too?) is all black with gold thrown in. But first off, I would like to salute the stylists for her up-do matched with this red lips! Dara doesn’t do red lips often, but when she does, BAM! Anyway, she’s wearing a (horrifyingly expensive, but great-looking) Balmain jacket from their recent collection. I love how the jacket actually accentuates her slim figure! The silk/satin dress she wears below is too nondescript in the video and photo that it’s quite hard to pinpoint. But if I should hazard a guess, I think it’s from YSL or Balenciaga, they have a couple black mini dresses that look so cool! And lastly, her wild Giuseppi Zanotti wedges that I absolutely adore! ❤

DFF_MY_3

Dara’s last outfit came straight off the runway, minus the boots. Saint Laurent F/W 2013 collection debuted this cardigan-printed dress combination, and I love how it looks like on Dara. It’s a very simple (albeit super expensive) outfit that still looks chic and fashionable. Matched with another Saint Laurent boot, the outfit looks very country-ish to me. ^^
