For Your Viewing Pleasure: Textured Tailoring

Welcome back to another instalment of For Your Viewing Pleasure, where we take time out of the week to curate a set of photos from the K-pop landscape.

Every outfit is the sum of the fabrics used to form it. Layers, patterns, and hardware align to add the texture that defines each piece. In this set of spring-hued photos, IU is slick in a crisp suit with flower-patterned lapels, as NCT Dream’s Jaemin makes his simple blue sweater appear just as sharp by pairing it with a ruffled shoulder bag in the same shade. While actress Jeon So-nee wears a traditional shirt and tie with a bejeweled dress, Blackpink’s Jennie keeps things chic in a pinstripe number with silver buttons. A special mention must go to Wendy of Red Velvet, who models a floaty sky-blue tulle skirt with chunky boots and a playful edge of attitude. Flick through these photos to find your favorite look.
