For Your Viewing Pleasure: Glitter and Grit

Welcome back to another instalment of For Your Viewing Pleasure, where we take time out of the week to curate a set of photos from the K-pop landscape.

Fashion is as much about forming a sense of identity as it is elegance. In this set of photos, our favourite idols layer silver accessories and studded belts to lean into a punk aesthetic. Ties are askew, jeans baggy, eyeliner heavy. This is glamour with a fierce twist, as sequins and pearls mingle with leather and chains. While Treasure’s Yoshi and Sung Han-bin of Zerobaseone rock bedazzled jackets, Red Velvet’s Wendy adds an edge to a simple white top with some abstract nail art. As Young K of Day6 pairs a tie with some chunky Timberlands, IVE’s Gaeul styles artfully laddered tights with spiked scarlet heels. A special mention must go to Kep1er’s Chaehyun and her seriously badass boots. Flick through these photos to find your favourite.
