For Your Viewing Pleasure: On the Edge

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.

When trying to dress cool, there are a variety of styles to select from. In particular, a grungy and edgy aesthetic is one that particularly spotlights personality. In order to rock a look like that, black is often the go-to color. aespa‘s Winter demonstrates this perfectly with her all-black outfit and black hair. On the other hand, Sunmi has a slightly different take, contrasting her black outfit with stark blonde hair. The same goes for Somi in a black jacket and contrasting hair color. Last but not least, we also need accessories as the cherry on top. Yunho shows us how a simple pair of sunglasses can go a long way in making one look edgy, even in a denim outfit. It may be sunny summer, but there is always room for a darker vibe.
