serve as many looks as their female counterparts too. And to top it all, the men of K-pop have made wearing makeup and jewellery cool, and fans seriously look forward to eye makeup looks with so many artists.

Here’s our list of the top stylish K-pop idols, in no particular order, you decide you stan which artist.

other shows and was seen posing with several international stars such as Dove Cameron, Jared Leto and Ellie Goulding. NCT’s Yuta is another fashion darling.

The BTS boys

Jungkook, V, Jimin, Suga, Jin, RM and J-Hope, we can’t give individual positions to the Bangtan Boys as all of them command a loyal fan following and are probably the most famous boy band in the world right now. Sadly, the band is taking a break to focus on their solo careers and eventually enlist in the army. And we love what has come so far, like J-Hope’s recent track Rush Hour with Crush or Psy and Suga’s That That which was a stylish cowboy-inspired video. Jimin’s haircolours are equally pathbreaking and set hair trends every year.

the biggest couture houses and is often seen in suits and jackets. When off duty, he can even pull of a bucket hat with the baggiest pants you have ever seen, something us mortals can only think of trying.

Bigbang’s G-Dragon

One of the most popular style icons in Kpop, G-Dragon has had many magazine features to his credit and he isn’t afraid to sport avant garde styles. He loves jewellery, and also changes his hairdos often and will probably even wear a piece from a woman’s closet with ease and style.

Of course, the artsy sculptural hairstyles will be too much, but one hair trend that has taken over this year is the wet hair look. Be it the Oscars, the Grammies, the fashion weeks and even K-pop videos, this surprisingly simple look can be achieved in many ways.

Another fun way to try this look is to drape and slick a fringe like Audrey Hepburn’s across your forehead. You can create waves and then set them with gel for a beachy, just-out-of-water look. Or you could flat iron your hair and then slick it for a more formal outing. You could even create a sleek pony. Also called hair enameling, this ultra-shiny look is here to stay till the year's end at least.

sections and scrunch till set. You could use a shine spray on top for extra gloss. Finally use hairspray to keep your look in place.

Fashion season is upon us, which means that we have many new trends to try out before the party season begins next month. Be it Paris, Milan or New York Fashion Week, designers served many exciting looks this season. You could pick a little inspo from every show to create your own signature look as makeup artists showed us how makeup is inclusive and there is something for everyone. Here are all the fun trends that will dominate our Insta feeds and makeup looks this season.

Another way to try this era is with an undone, smudgy smoky eye. Who can forget brown lips from the era, you don’t have to do it the harsh liner way, blend the liner to give an ombre effect instead. For fuller lips, you could also slightly overline your lips and then fill them with a cool-toned brown lip colour.

For a simple ’90s eye look, take a silver eye shadow and sweep it across the eye, paired with a solid black liner and heavy mascara.

Old Hollywood glamour

Finger waves, full lips, a classic wing – all elements of vintage glamour have been seen this season at various shows. Especially red lips like Marilyn Monroe have captured everyone’s attention in 2022. Even easy French knots will do the trick. Just keep your skin minimal with a focus on well-defined bright lips which can also be paired with a gloss. The ’60s were all about winged liners and exaggerated lower lashes. Clumped lower lashes have been

Colourful eyes

Pop eyeliners, colourful inner corners or a single colour wash; a pop of colour on the eyes is still having a moment. This trend still stays strong because of the bare skin look (including freckles) which give a blank canvas to do what you want. Another major factor is the show Euphoria, which seems to have taken over our beauty inspos for two years now. All you need is a wash of bright colour on the eyes, you can layer cream with powder shadows for maximum colour payoff. For a more subtle look, just use the colour on the inner corner.

It might feel like it belongs to your school uniform or your grandma’s wardrobe, you can even borrow one from her! But it is the chicest piece in your wardrobe for the season. What makes it work is that it can be worn on its own or layered to perfection. Wear them with pants, skirts, jeans, shorts or an oversized one as a dress, there is so much to do. Even ones with holes in them are a runway favourite. For workwear, you can style it with tailored pants or layer it over a T-shirt. You could also wear a fitted one with a skirt, and wear heels or sneakers (whatever your workplace allows) with it.

Classic patterns such as the argyle (the diamond-shaped pattern which you probably already own), houndstooth and plaids can add great visual interest to your look when picked in bright, contrasting colours. You can wear them with solid-coloured jeans or pants, or even layer a coat on top in another contrasting colour. Straight leather pants in black look great with prints too, especially for a night out with your heels on.

Plaids and checkered cardigans are great to create contrast. You could choose your skirt or pants in a vibrantly different colour to make a classic look edgy. Wear this with loafers, boots or white sneakers. Varsity cardigans that will remind you of your school days are another K-pop favourite. You can wear one under a bomber jacket, or wear it with a skirt with high socks.

And if you are just feeling lazy, wear an oversized cardigan as a dress, or with your shorts just peeking through. Create a clean, gelled bun for this look as it’s easy to look frumpy in baggy fits.

Gold hoops, chokers or bracelets go perfectly well with different cardigan styles and add just the right amount of glimmer to what can be a boring outfit.
