Oooh la la, yes to kdrama trends that but no to brokeness. 😭

Pooh, these should be fun to read.

I have not pursued any trends though have admired them. Watching Queen In Hyun's Man I keep admiring the Hanboks. Obviously I'm not going to wear one for many reasons, but I keep thinking I could take inspiration from the rich colors. I'm very much a jeans and casual tops person. But maybe richer or different color choices and different fabrics in my shirts, sweaters, and coats.

Thanks to Kdramas, I'm always updated about the latest trends.😍
Looking forward to read all the entries. ^__^

I have only been influenced twice by dramas (The Good Wife, Misty). I was so impressed with David Lee's fashion in a particular episode that I bought something similar by another designer -- it was an oxford shirt w/a contrasting collar. One of my favorite purchases, lol. Then I bought a bright pink pantsuit for a wedding, inspired by Go Hye-ran the Pantsuit Goddess.

Other than that, I do a whole lot of admiring and do my own thing. LOL.

Another theme in which I can't say a word, because just like PPL, I rarely notice and never ever follow whatever trend or tendency 😐... I just don't see it.
But hey, I will be glad to read all your words on this topic, beanies! 😉

I definitely got inspired by Song Ji-won from Age of Youth to be confident enough to embrace the quirky and fun side of Korean fashion... now my wardrobe is full of weird but fun pieces of clothes.

Kdrama trends I've successfully adapted are gradient lips (I know, not everyone likes that look, but I love it and use lip tints almost every day), chunky shoes and several interesting clothing pieces. Also, I recently managed to convince my husband to layer a linen shirt over a T-shirt for that Yang Se-jong in 30 but 17 vibe. No shame about that :D
I'll definitely be looking forward for beanie stories!

Glowy makeup!! For some reason, I’m all about the dewy skin these days, and the oh so natural look - no doubt inspired by kdrama standards!

Ah and ramyun, (more like a kdrama habit), I will only ever eat from the pot itself, using the lid as a saucer.

The trademark short hairstyles of the second female leads(with the shorter side tucked behind ears , long dangling earrings) , the summer clothes, the shoes & the coats which I can never use in my tropical country........

Are all I wish I could buy 😂
I'm too broke to buy anything even though I so love those outfits & makeup. So it's just saving screenshot after screenshot of my fav looks 😂

My latest love are the pretty outfit used in Ganam Beauty.
Both Mi rae & Soo ah(the 🐍) are slaying those pretty blouse & dresses.

When we started watching dramas 4 yrs ago my sister and I were struck by asymmetrical zipped jackets - so when I saw one while shopping I had to have it. Then we bought matching flowered pants "ajumma-style" - very comfortable!

The influence on our food choices has been huge! Regularly have kimchi making parties with friends. Just made 20th batch. We have four flavors of soju on hand.

For starters, I've learned that it is almost impossible to find the same black, high-ankle booties all the leading ladies wear with everything (regardless of ensemble color) with no-to-low heels anywhere online. They never match the vision I retained from the kdrama. I also discovered hair barrettes were meant to be worn in the front, not on the side or the back of your head. It's no longer weird-looking to me and is now adorable! Delicious soup only takes about 15 minutes to make, not the hours-long production I thought it involved.

As an aside, this article is accompanied by a rather vile bigoted right wing American political ad on my computer.

Yes to piqued interest in threader earrings from k-dramas!

Oooouuuhhh yes long coats, jeans and booties. Age of youth clothes, citt clothes. Btiofl clothes. ❤️❤️ I just might write this month

I’m crazy about Korean winter parkas, they look so comfy and warm. It’s too bad they don’t ship worldwide 😩

Important question. Where can I get those earrings of Park Min Young's in the picture above? I lusted after them during that episode and browsed around but couldn't find anything. They aren't threaders but seem to have an ear jacket. I want them!

I like this theme but I was never influenced by any styling from K-dramas. They look nice on the actresses because they have nice figures to go with the styles and not to mention, they are pricey. The only styling I adopted so far is Bong Soon's hairstyle. Too bad, I still could not bag myself CEO Ahn.

Most interesting bit....most K-actresses pulled on very bad almost hideous styles outside of dramas. Seem like they themselves never adopted or influenced by the gorgeous drama styling.

Kdramaworld, where each poor candy heroine somehow also has an indefinite collection of expensive coats in every colour imaginable to match the mood of the day.

My (somewhat cheaper due to budget constraints) coat collection has subsequently also grown quite a bit since I started watching kdramas ... I am guilty of being a prime target for ppl.

Ahn Yo Na bunny overalls and pink lipstick (was almost tempted to start using some make-up, but no, not for me, never have, never will)

My love of the utter coat-porn in MG 2018 (the obvious best thing out of that whole---we'll leave it there) sent me into fits and flights of fancy. My wallet laughed at me and led me home again.

Haha, this should be fun to read! Not enough for a whole post, but I've gone out and bought those cute spa headbands the female leads always effortlessly wear when they come out of the shower. I got the bunny ones the lead in Because this life is my first life twisted around and wore (but it doesn't look so cute on me) and I know park min young wore one in what's wrong with secretary Kim that I saw on Amazon lately. They're cheap enough to satisfy my craving without breaking the bank. But they definitely always look better on the actresses!

Kdrama helped me up my style game as a guy. I wear casual suits now when I'm out like on the weekend, my favourite is the dark blue cashual suite jacket with the high hemmed suite pants with sneakers, and a casual white t-shirt.

Could I point out that this does not necessarily have to apply to fashions in clothing, hair or skin care? Although, even as a guy I was in awe of some of the outfits in Misty. How about some of the handheld technology? If you watch closely you will see a never ending stream of the latest in smartphones, tablets, etc. If there is a brand new gadget you can just bet the half of Korea owns it before we even see it over here.

I am late AF to this but you all KNOW, you know I would wear every single coat in Hwayugi and Meteor Garden and rock those hot pink sunglasses and that beautiful Pineapple Hair, if I could afford them, and if I wasn't so afraid of freaking out my not-a-professional-stylist hairdresser... *still can't find that illuminati coat* *or the sunglasses for that matter* *cries*

it just hit me, just now: I was inspired by kdrama trends! Last year when it was time for me to get new glasses it was during Father is Strange and Unni had a fierce glasses and sunglasses collection. My current prescription sunglasses and regular glasses are both based off glasses that she wore during that drama. They both honestly make me feel a tiny bit like I'm closing in on becoming a badass like her!
