Hot 4 Fashion Items For Girl Groups

Looks like it is a “Hot Issue” after all. Korea’s girl group’s ‘Hot4’ summer fashion items have become the keyword in girl group fashion.

Last spring, colorful leggings have been the fashion item worn by everyone but this summer it’s the more improved and unique ripped leggings that have been captivating the hearts of girl groups’ stylists. Also, sporting different retro styled print shirts have been characterizing the different members of the groups as well. And the once, and still, popular high-top shoes for the males have received a new definition of ‘bubbly and cute’ after being worn by the female competitors. Lastly, those cyborg sunglasses sported ever so often by male idol group members like, TOP of Big Bang, have been found resting on the nose bridges of female idols as well.

Hot 4 Fashion Items For Girl Groups

This summer, the ‘Fantastic 4’ fashion items for our girl groups are:

Ripped Leggings.

Ripped Leggings

Leggings with holes give off a definition of sexy. Many other pop artists have worn ripped leggings before this summer season but it has been an exception these days after the concept of girl groups have improved and as if naturally, ripped leggings have become the ‘must wear’ fashion item of the season within girl groups.

On the 19th, ex-Wonder Girl, Hyun Ah of 4 Minute wore ripped leggings with holes everywhere on stage. Korea’s fashionista Seo In Young also wore black leggings ripped to look like window blinds and gave off a sexy and charismatic feeling. Ha Jooyeon wore unique leggings with short pants that looked as if they were connected to wristlets.

Brilliant Prints.

Brilliant Prints

Brilliant prints are an important fashion item that must be worn within girl groups. These print shirts give off a brilliant hip pop feeling with graffiti you will find on the streets. Retro style and optical prints have also been receiving lots of love. Styling these printed shirts with ripped leggings and snow jeans have become very popular.

The new girl group 4 Minute has used printed shirts the most. They showed us track suits with strange pictures and mini dresses worn with stockings with prints that definitely do not go together. Sandara Park of 2NE1 also wore retro style prints with baggy snow jeans without any awkwardness. Hyunah wore a mini dress with a comical illustration on with blue fur and completed a sexy style.

Cyborg Sunglasses.

Cyborg Sunglasses

Sunglasses have rejected its usual normal look. Cyborg glasses give off a futuristic feel you could find in science fiction films. The lenses are either connected as one or the frames have a metallic color. A unique look is completed when cyborg glasses are accompanied with an outfit from the '80s

4minute's member Ji Yoon has been covering half of her face with cyborg glasses that reflect to orange lights. 2NE1's CL's sunglasses have the design of the frame covering half of the glasses that gives off a cool feeling. Also a member of After School, Beckha, matched her outfit with glasses of neon color that are connected in a straight line.

High-Top Shoes.

High-Top Shoes

Big Bang has brought high-top shoes into popularity but now girl groups are wearing them in colorful colors and fun print designs. High-top shoes are shoes that are high enough to cover your ankle. The shoes go well with the 80’s style that has been popular these days. And for the girl groups who dance often have the advantage when wearing them for they protect your feet, yet they're stylish. It's 2 in 1 baby.

‘4 Minute’ has made the point of their high-tops as the color. They give off a girlish feeling with neon and pastel colors. After School match their concept with neon high tops and 2NE1 wears high tops, whose designs change every week to match their concept.

That was the ‘Fantastic 4’ of this summer’s ‘Must Haves’ for girl groups.

Newbie group 4 Minute must’ve become a ‘Hot Issue’ for their unique concept and of course 2NE1’s concept is a big topic as well.

Well, what do you think? Are these ‘Hot 4’ items something you will sport around in public?

Eh. Some of the leggings look weird. The sunglasses and shoes are pretty tight (YAY BIG BANG! :D) And… the prints are pretty coo too :]

 
SkipBeat's avatar

I’m a sucker for leggings so thats something i’d be sporting for sure.  ripped leggings ^__^ but not the kind hyunah wears. that bitch ALWAYS looks like a hot mess

 
Raihn's avatar

Yeah I’d sport those if I wanted to be shot, killed, and robbed.

 
Francesca's avatar

Interesting ~^^~

 
GoP-Demon's avatar

I dunno… I think its the fact that both these girl groups are more urban than Girls Generation or Wonder Girls is the reason for this fashion. Printed shirts and sun glasses were already popular among any of the other more urban boy bands.

I can see JiYoon’s undies in the first pic ~
Thanks for the great article, I’m gonna buy all these items to match my favorite K-pop idols! But how do you wear ripped leggins…?

 
icecreeaamm's avatar

err not liking the 4minute style but i like 2ne1’s + after school’s how they sport their leggins. and the glasses too:P

@GOP:

Wonder Girls on stage never wore these fashions…off stage Sohee and SunMi and Yeeun were always wearing high tops with designs and accessories or printed/colored leggings and shirts. Sohee the most.

Inot that colorful as 4min -.- but I like the shoes.. especially 2NE1s shoes on the street version of FIRE gaah those JS wings and JS logo addidas! I also like dara’s baggy pants >.<

 
toto101's avatar

LOL girls should dress like that i wouldnt complain lol

 
Sheng Wei.'s avatar

I like the last picture :$.

The ripped leggings look so stupid. The only OK ones were on the member of After School because it had green where the holes were.

Everything else is nice though, especially the shoes. It’s good to see girl groups wearing sneakers instead of heels that can hurt their feet (:

 
HiBye2's avatar

trendy :D

 
LL's avatar

the only things i like are the sunglasses and high tops XP
i think the reason why they wear the lenses/frames connected from the top is that they have to hide their short nose bridges. lolll. i noticed that with myself =X but maybe its different for them haha
mann…i love colorful high tops. wish i could get high tops like some of theirs ^^;;

 
cimberleigh12's avatar

im cool with high top shoes and i want those cyborg glasses.. but i dont think im wearin ripped leggings in public. people would think im crazy.. plus the fact that im in US not korea. lol

 
ammybabe's avatar

i want those leggings that have the holes in them. theyre rlly hot. ><

 
WoAiNiHaru's avatar

I like the hightips, the ripped leggings are a little tacky in my opinion though. The shades are pretty cool too. (:

It seems like the YG family, Big Bang especially, sets some fashion trends when it comes to performance clothes.

 
no avatar

Shoes maybe, but everything else, no. Crazy prints hurt my eyes, ripped leggings are like the new ripped jeans, and cyborg sunglasses are just plain tacky. Unless you want to be a walking palette, this is a no no.

 
shepardlover's avatar

I don’t like this trend… D:

 
FromMe2You's avatar

Their cool on stage
but on me…?

 
MZ.YOOSU's avatar

i gotta say no one can rock the rip leggings, colorful tops, cool shade and high top shoe like 2NE1 can….

while the high tops and the prints (when used in moderation) work in real life, rippled leggings and cyborg glasses are really just a performance thing.
Ripped leggings, especially, are just really not a “daily” thing to wear. Unlike regular or even wet-look leggings, they don’t really serve a purpose of covering up, and you might as well go bare-legged. They do look really great on stage, for photoshoots, etc when worn with the right combinations (combinations that do not include sticking them with tops that have more holes) but like 9-inch heels, they are more for aesthetic appeal and aren’t for daily use. They do look great when worn like seo in young’s outfit, or hyunah’s, but jooyeon’s leggings are really looking like pants, and they would look better on guys, who have straighter, less “curved” legs (eg, the boys of an cafe). And I think the last one is… jungah of after school? love the matching of leggings and shoes, but that top makes the outfit look too messy.
brilliant prints can look really cute in real life, just wear it with a toned-down pair of pants or leggings, and shoes, accessories, etc. I love minzy’s egyptian style shirt from the street fire mv <3
cyborg glasses… meh, it just looks better in photoshoot, but I think it just looks too strange and kinda ugly in real life
high tops are of course totally wearable on a daily basis. Just wear them with skinny jeans or capris or even shorts or leggings… don’t wear them with a skirt/dress. They end up making your feet look bigger, which can somewhat balance big calves. Cute enough, but have to make an effort to not make it clash with the rest of the outfit…
the thing about girlbands, though, is that too many brilliant prints make the members clash with each other. snsd, wonder girls, kara and even 2NE1 (space) are good at matching each other, but 4minute clashes like there’s no tomorrow. one point of having a group is that you guys make each other look GOOD… even rock/metal bands know that
and also, the track suit of the sun-glasses-clad girl in 4-minute… offends my eyes T.T

 
Leah's avatar

This trend isn’t for me. The sunglasses and high tops are a’ight separately though.

i rlly like thiss trend
thyy look spiffy

 
no avatar

I would only wear the High Tops and maybe the colorful tops but thats it. I wouldn’t wear anything else unless I was a performer like them which I’m not.

 
nho1668's avatar

lol@41, whoa there.
Ripped leggings are really sleazy IMO if you just wear them to go out; they only seem to suit performances. :X

 
Freya13's avatar

Sorry… but I’ll pass…
They may be trendy for Korean girl groups but I think they look weird in those outfits…
LOL

Oh please tell me these things aren’t actually going to start being considered as fashion…Ughh why can’t people just go out looking normal instead of like the got dressed in the dark with a bad selection of clothes =.=;; Don’t even get me started on SHINee’s outfits…I love the boys but PLEASE someone buy them some normal clothes….Stylist unnies, please stop drinking before you dress these people…
