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?

I love the play of colours on these girls.. although I know a few people who would rather poke their own eyes out than stick around with people sporting clothes that look like these in public. haha.

Love the shoes and leggings though smile

high tops have always been trendy in both sexes in america..korea must of been late on that then..

I like the leggings with a BRIGHT shirt. It’d look pretty. I like the high tops, but I don’t think it’s a good shoe to dance in. I’m a dancer myself, and feel them uncomfortable. But I’d wear the high tops.The sunglasses looks pretty ugly, but TOP sports it well.

 
Yori's avatar

@ 51
yes they hv been around for many many years…
so why the heck did u bring up shinee? they’re barely one year old as a band.
just in korea alone, several boybands and hip hop artists in general were wearing high tops waaay before shinee. you seemed to hv missed the writer’s point…he/she was emphasizing that girl groups are now following the trend of wearing high tops in fun colors and prints.

 
oxkimchi's avatar

I love the shoes!
Would never be able to pull of the sunglasses..
Not that I really want to..

 
Minny's avatar

Would people actually wear these types of clothes outside?
They look ok on stage, but not on the street.

 
bee's avatar

cool .. but i would never wear any of them

 
Cครєу's avatar

i’d wear all of that.. maybe not all the time but now and again.

 
Sarang1TYM4lif3's avatar

~Loco_Roco~'s avatar

Love this article~ I already have high top sneakers and those crazy prints. I love them ^^ But the ripped leggings are a no-no xD You…have to be careful with those lol But I’d wear leggings without holes for sure. Bekha’s glasses look so cool.

insomniac's avatar

i would never be caught in public wearing any of these. i simply can’t pull it off. but still, sometimes i wonder what korean stylists are thinking cuz a lot of their clothing is down right unflattering.

strawberlee's avatar

i do like the high tops and the sunglasses, but i don’t think i would wear the ripped leggings and the colorful prints.

 
ChiRel's avatar

Lol this is late 80s fashion I think. I love this look actually. Plus like someone already said people dress like this in NY all the time. I love those sneakers too, I want them lol.

again with the retro prints? it seems like everyone’s wearing them. what they don’t realize is that it’s really confusing. Like sometime;s i can’t differentiate between some of the new girl groups cuz they’re all wearing the same thing. at least with shinee(who’s stylists need to be fired) i can recognize them from all the other groups, same with dbsk, super junior, and big bang. These new girl groups need some originality. i mean seriously, first it was the cutesy image that became overdone and now it’s this print, leggings, and shades combo.
the shades are pretty cool but really, who would wear them out on the streets?

 
squ!shy's avatar

and it would be awesome if i could pull of such a look….. i love all the pretty colors O_O

 
no avatar

hope the look changes up soon
something fresh

 
spark.'s avatar

The only thing I liked was the patterned outifts, the sunglasses, and the hightops. Apparently Big Bang is a VERY big influence on fashion. ;D

 
xhanonx's avatar

i’d definitely wear those shoes!!

the styles of these girl groups(2ne1, 4minute, after school) and big bang are actually quite disturbing. ripped leggings? cyborg glasses? brilliant prints? high tops..with brilliant prints? [*GAG*] the “brilliant” prints make the clothes look like someone puked on them. and the hairstyles are disgusting, too. i mean thats their image?............................ -_-

I wish they all didn’t look the same D:

It was all started when the lollipop cf appeared…....there was bigbang and 2ne1 wearing such bright colors and printed outfits with the addition of printed leggings of 2ne1…

Me sporting ripped leggings, uh no. I’m not fond of the street bum look. But i do like the shades, since i’m a shades fiend.


As for these clothes being unique concepts, visually they are very eye catching, and i’m sure they were unique at one time when brought into the spotlight by folks like G-Dragon and Big Bang for example, but they are all bumming off of each other and visually out doing the other at this point. It’s almost hard to tell who’s who sometimes. Though i won’t go as hard on 2NE1 since their style guru is G-Dragon. I just thank god they learned to put a feminine edge to it.

I like the new concept in dressing the girl groups but I would like to see more variety.  Why do they all have to look alike?  If one group wears somethin then all the other groups follow.

I like the ripped leggings but I would only wear them at the club.  The cyborg sunglasses are cool and can definately be incorporated into daily wear just like the “Hollywood” sunglasses.

big bang style is amazing for sure

@59:  Yeah, the high tops have been around for many years.  remember that one song that nelly had about Air Force Ones?  i mean everyone had a pair back in the day.  As for the leggings that the girls are wearing with their skirts and the skinny jeans that the guys are wearing in the korean industry today, that style has been around for years as well.  If any of you have been to the warped tour then you guys know what im talking about.  I know its the trend in korea today but i cant wait to see whats next.
