Summer for most people around the world means the weather is nicer, there is more time to hang out with friends and loved ones, and it’s a great time to soak up some vitamin D. Because of these characteristics, summer fashion tends to reflect a more carefree and expressive style than the previous seasons. Here are some ways K-Pop girl groups are expressing themselves during the warmer months.
JYP’s powerhouse girl group, Twice, is back with their summer hit, “Alcohol Free.” The song reflects a calm but chill sound which is reflected in their wardrobe. The girls are styled in a fresh boho style with Spanish and South American influences. The girls look radiant in red, beige, and white outfits, all paired with gladiator sandals, which are a staple piece for the summer. Many of the girls have red roses in their hair, adding a flirty and romantic vibe to the overall look. Grabbing a skirt or dress with a flared bottom can create a boho aesthetic with a vibe like Twice.
Fromis_9, a 9-member girl group formed from the 2017 show Idol School, dropped their summer hit “We Go” in late May. The music video is creative to match the very fun and upbeat song. In the music video, the girls can be seen wearing a very simple jeans-and-white-shirt combo. White is very popular in the summer, representing light and freshness while jeans are a timeless trend that can come in a variety of different ways. Combined, it’s a very comfortable, cooling, and stylish pair. This theme was styled differently to reflect each of the girls’ personalities. Being fashionable doesn’t have to be complicated and adding elements from fromis_9’s concept can make an outfit look effortlessly stylish.
Rookie girl group, Lightsum, recently debuted under Cube Entertainment with their debut song, “Vanilla.” It’s a cute dance anthem that is sure to cool down anyone like some nice vanilla ice cream. In the promo photos for the group’s song, the girls can be seen wearing bright and glam style outfits with the color scheme of pink and white. Contrastingly, they are also seen wearing blue and white which gives off a very trendy, girl crush vibe. The promo shots are very trendy, mixing soft glam and street style together to give a very youthful yet cool look to the girls. No matter the color palette, many of the pieces the girls wore such as knee high boots, crop tops, and hoop earrings will help you create a very trendy, glam look.
Another one of JYP’s powerhouse girl groups, Itzy, just dropped a catchy summer song with Second Aunt KimDaVi called “Break Ice.” The beat is infectious and makes you want to dance. In the music video, the girls can be seen wearing white and pastel, which radiate a vibe of fun and youthfulness. Pastels are a great color scheme for the summer months and can often represent the start of something fresh and replenishing. Each girl in ITZY can be seen wearing a white tennis skirt, which is an easy way for anyone to make an outfit trendy, flirty, and cute.
Brave Entertainment’s very own girl group, Brave Girls, made an incredible comeback with their recent song “Chi Mat Ba Ram” in mid-June. The song is fun-spirited, taking place on a beach so it would make sense that the girls are styled in beachy boho. In the trailer video, the girls can be seen wearing matching green floral sundresses with flowing white trains at the bottom, giving them a carefree touch to the gentle beach look. To stay cool but fashionable on the beach like the Brave Girls, light fabric florals are a great way to enjoy the summer heat in style.
