In addition to K-pop and K-drama becoming more and more popular, Korean design is also becoming quite fashionable, particularly for menswear. It has become a popular option by combining classic styles with global elements, whether on runways or in cars.
As published by News18, Mahesh Khemlani, CEO & Creative Director of Waimea New York, offers you advice on how to create your own take on the K-Pop look as manufacturers release their own versions of the collection
Distressed Denim
A wardrobe essential for a carefree yet rebellious look is distressed denim. Select jeans that are purposefully damaged or shredded in different locations rather than ones that are excessively shredded. To really pull this look off, pair them with statement shoes, sweatshirts, and graphic tees.
Baggy Cargo Pants
To blend style and functionality, opt for jeans featuring cargo pockets for a striking modern flair. Pair these with oversized sweatshirts or tees with colorful or bright patterns to create a relaxed yet fashionable ensemble.
Patched Denim
Denim with patches, long a signature of the 1960s, is making a global comeback. Look for denim with funny patches in all sizes and shapes to provide a striking and unique touch to your ensemble. You may even go one step further and add patches or even embroidery that expresses your own flair to make things even more uniquely yours. Wear these striking pieces with a graphic shirt or tee.
Colourful Denim
Instead of sticking with the standard colors, try something bolder like brilliant red, neon green, or electric blue. To make your denim pop, balance the brightness and match it with neutral hues. Alternatively, go all out with a contrasting top.
