Annyeong! Have you been washed out by the K-wave? Whether or not you're into K-pop, there's no denying that the Korean culture has permeated our lives with its music, shows and food!
A huge aspect of Korean culture is their fashion. We've seen more and more pop-up stores selling Korean-inspired fashion, with its bright colours and bold frills. However, not all of us can afford to revamp our wardrobe. So here are five accessories that you can use to look just like your favourite star; accessories that you can even find at a thrift store!
1. Mouth mask

It started off as the mask you wear when you visit someone really sick in the hospital. Then, we wore it when the annual haze came to visit. Now, it's just become fashion. Don't question it. Just put one on. Preferably a plain black one so that it matches the rest of your outfit!
2. Tall socks

Let's be honest with ourselves- we live in Malaysia where it's permanently summer, so there's really no need for such long socks. But you've just gotta suffer a little for fashion. Wear it plain or wear it with a print design- as long as it covers three thirds of your lower leg, you're doing it right.
3. Hats

Whether it's a fedora, a sun hat, a bucket hat, baseballs caps, snapbacks of beanies, having anything on your head is a total fashion statement. Not only does it protect you against extreme weather, it can also cover up a bad hair day!
4. Scarves
A scarf is such an easy accessory to drape over your shoulders. While you might know the basic way to tie a long scarf, the internet is at your disposal, where you can find literally hundreds of ways to make your scarf work for the outfit you're wearing.
5. Sneakers
This is the easiest for both guys and girls, no matter what your personal style looks like. A pair of monochromatic sneakers work best, with a clean design and thick soles to give you just that little bit of elevation. But really, wear what you like! As long as it matches your outfit, you'll look great.
There you have it! Your ultimate style guide to looking like the K-pop star you were always meant to be. Share your looks with us!
