1. A sturdy canvas tote bag to haul essentials for long days or long trips! Tote bags are seen a lot especially for college student characters like Kang Mi-rae from My ID is Gangnam Beauty.
2. A pair of retro boyfriend denim overalls for a summery dose of whimsy to your looks. These will make you feel like you should be off picking berries or painting in an arts class.
3. A formal, flowy blouse that still has lots of personality, whether it's through ruffles, fancy sleeves, or patterns — our K-drama heroines don't settle for basic! These are perf when you feel like being super dressy or have a work meeting and want to dress the part. If you're looking for a blouse like the one Kim Mi-so, a literal secretary from What's Wrong with Secretary Kim, is wearing below, this one is pretty similar!
4. A dressy vintage-style floral skirt to pair with your fancy blouse and take your fashion up a notch! You'll look so royal no one will be able to touch you.
5. An oversized blazer that's a staple for K-drama heroines in the work field, like you'll see in Start-Up and Descendants of the Sun, and will become a become a stylish work staple for you too!
6. Or a cute work-friendly cropped blazer and skirt set if you want to dress like our beloved rich heroines but don't have the budget for Chanel (*cries*). Your friends and co-workers will be so jealous of your fashion sense! Plus, since it's a set, dressing up will be an easy one-step process.
7. A roomy denim jacket for your casual day fits like our sweetheart Moon Gang-tae! You can also pull this on when it gets a little too chilly in the evenings. Want something with an even more classic look like his? Levi's jean jacket is as close as it gets!
8. A luxe-looking cross-body bag, which is the go-to for literally every K-drama character on a day or night out. A sleek bag = quick way to spruce up your fit and look expensive 😉.
9. A pair of high-rise relaxed Levi's jeans that are the pinnacle of comfort — K-drama characters are all about breathable comfort! Pair them with tucked-in shirts and that crossbody bag like Ahn Jeong-ha from Record of Youth for more effect.
10. Even better, pair the jeans with an oversized button-down cardigan! We've established that K-drama characters love oversized, breathable fits like you see below, and that's great for everyday wear, really!
11. A soft vintage-style nightgown so you can float about like you're in a fairytale and channel Ko Moon-young vibes.
12. A bold and colorful oversized hoodie that'll brighten up your streetwear a bit, especially for days when you're in a good mood. The pink one from Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo is pretty cute (this one's very similar)!
13. A super cute denim pinafore to layer over your fave shirts and tees and be summer-ready like our K-drama heroines!
14. A timeless and romantic pastel pink linen dress so even when you're just sleeping, you'll still wake up looking like a million bucks the way Ko Moon-young does.
15. A versatile plaid shirt you can layer over a basic tee, button up, tuck in, or wear with the sleeves rolled up — there are so many ways to style one and K-drama characters know it!
16. An oversized bomber jacket that'll cement your status as the ultimate fashion trendsetter on the block. To perfect your street look, layer over hoodies like Itaewon Class' Park Sae-ro-yi does! Choose the gray color to channel True Beauty's Han Seo-jun's look.
17. Pair the jacket with cargo pants because it'll tell everyone you know how to do streetwear, switch things up, and be at ease at the same time!
18. A flowy dress perfect for a summer outing and for twirling round in when you're in a good mood.
19. An oversized knitted sweater vest so you'll be on-trend and totally fashionable this summer like your K-drama faves.
20. An elegant long coat because if you've watched K-dramas at all, you'll know that everyone owns at least one! (Bonus points if it's beige — that shade in particular is heavily popular!) Plus, a long coat is just a great staple to have. These characters sure do know their fashion staples!
21. Or a plaid long coat like you see in Crash Landing on You and Radio Romance, A Piece of Your Mind, and more, as patterned long coats are also very popular and add a fun twist to your fits when everyone else looks the same in plain black ones (peep those cross-body bags again)!
22. Pair your great coat with a turtleneck to really play the part of a rich CEO or chaebol who owns half the country. Turtlenecks are one of the most common tops K-drama characters layer their coats with, and the result is a super sophisticated, dignified look!
23. A blazer and pants set when you want to look fashionable and put-together but still comfortable at your next work event (or even just at brunch).
24. A striped pullover because it immediately makes you look all nice and dressed up without it looking like you tried too hard.
25. A skater skirt you can dress up for formal occasions and dress down for casual days (and dates 😉). Plus, with so many colors to choose from, you're bound to find several that you like!
26. A denim button-down, which is a fashion must-have to give your fits an easy-peasy breezy next-door look! Style it loose with a white tee or tucked-in with a black tee.
