K-pop idols are a source of inspiration for their fans in many areas of their lives, from their artistry to their make-up, lifestyles, and fashion.
Idols take the opportunity to wear the latest trends and releases from their favourite labels - from renowned designers to indie brands - when off duty, and, until the coronavirus pandemic shut them down, their concerts were showcases for their personal style. When the health crisis put travelling and promotional tours on hold, Korean pop celebrities turned to social media to show off their fashion.
Many K-pop stars have their own personal Instagram accounts, and with complete control over the content they post online, some took the opportunity to share their favourite looks.
No matter your personal style, or whose music you are into, these 10 stylish K-pop idols are bound to inspire you.
