BTS, Twice or Park Bo-gum: which Korean celebrity style will you add to your wardrobe this season?
BTS, Twice and Blackpink join Korean celebrities Park Bo-gum, Gong Hyo-jin and Bae Suzy in offering on-trend styles to give your wardrobe that much-needed Hallyu-inspired makeover
Oh, the weather outside can be frightful, but it's certainly a prime chance to look delightful. Just look at how Korean celebrities dress up for winter, and see the many fashionable possibilities you can explore this season.
All out in all black
Black is so versatile that almost anyone can pull off an all-black outfit. However, you have to pick and combine the right pieces to look sleek, not sombre. Take it from Twice's Jeongyeon. Mix and match textures to make your monochromatic look far from boring. Break the monotony with a bright accessory (such as a handbag) in a contrasting colour.
Puffer power
Puffer coats are quite trendy in South Korea. Anyone from students to Hallyu stars simply throw one on to stay warm and look cool during winter. Aside from that classic black and white, you can find down jacket varieties in bright colours.

Choose a bold tone like Marsala or anything similar to the Burberry coat worn by Twice's Tzuyu. Or, pick a fun hue like orange, as seen in Park Bo-gum's ad for Eider.
Chic in shearling or fleece
Another way to stay warm and look stylish at the same time: accessorise your T-shirt and jeans with a shearling or fleece jacket.
The fabric instantly makes any casual ensemble winter-ready. Take inspiration from romcom queens Gong Hyo-jin and Bae Suzy.
Luxe in velvet and fur
Here are two winter wear staples for that retro-chic vibe: velvet and fur. Individually or combined, these plush fabrics are sure to elevate your style and give it a touch of luxury.
You could also throw on the usual: a jacket with a fur-lined hood, just like the epigram coat that Park So-dam is wearing.
If you're more fashion-forward, find the perfect all-velvet suit such as this blue number on Cha Eun-woo.
Play with prints
Stand out among a crowd of plain neutral-coloured coats with printed outerwear and accessories. The men from worldwide K-pop sensation BTS show how it's done with plaid trench coats and jackets.
Another play on prints: wear a sporty bomber jacket with colourful patches. Check out this look by actor Lee Seung-gi.
So the big question – which Korean celebrity outfit are you copping this winter?
