K-pop stars have slowly taken over India -- the youth love their music, movies and TV shows. And, because of that, K-pop fashion has also become a massive trend.
It mixes school girl cute with street style cool, is super easy to recreate, works for all body types and instantly gives you that polished, camera-ready vibe K-pop stars are known for.
Here’s how you can look like you’re about to drop your music video.
Chunky sneakers

Bucket hats

Fringe haircut

Layered jewellery

Knee-high boots
