Shortly after Crash Landing on You, another K-drama has captured the hearts of viewers all over the world: Itaewon Class.
However, it’s not just K-drama fans who are keenly watching the drama: fashionistas are also keeping tabs on the show, in particularJo Yi-Seo’s fashion choices. The role is played by actress Kim Da Mi.
Jo Yi-Seo is the manager of bar-restaurant DanBam. She is not only multi-talented and intelligent, but also famous on social media as a power blogger and social media influencer, which is why you’ll always find her dressed in the hottest K-fashion trends.
Aside from her signature dip-dyed hair, here’s how you can replicate Jo Yi-Seo’s outfits and look just like a stylish influencer:
Accessories
If there’s one common theme among K-drama girl bosses like Jang Man Weol, it’s that they are hardly ever seen without the most eye-catching fashion accessories.
Jo Yi-Seo is no exception: her numerous necklaces and earrings have been stealing the spotlight in every episode.
If you have two variations of the same necklace that you absolutely love, how do you choose which one to wear? As our fashionista would have you know, there’s really no dilemma when you can simply wear both of them together!

Chain necklaces are a must-have to channel biker girl chic, but you also run the risk of looking too tacky.If you have two variations of the same necklace that you absolutely love, how do you choose which one to wear?

Jo Yi-Seo gets around this problem by layering the chains, where the original gold chain necklace extends downwards with a short silver chain to create a pendant necklace – ingenious!

Fashion trends come and go, and it seems that Jo Yi-Seo is set on bringing the choker trend back again by making it the new IT accessory that we all want.
Tip: Chokers are best paired with shorter hairstyles, so those with long hair can consider tying their hair up into a bun or ponytail so that it doesn’t cover your neck fully.

Leather fashion
If we ever get a sneak peek at Jo Yi-Seo’s wardrobe, we’re pretty sure that more than half of it would be filled with leather jackets.
Our female lead wears a lot of leather, a nod to her New York background and tough personality, but she always manages to make the same leather look different in every outfit change.
We are no stranger to biker jackets, but this one adds a softer touch with strategic layers and even a belt that will flatter your figure.
Tip: Instead of going for a tough and rough biker look, put a modern twist on it by wearing a long turtleneck dress underneath.

If you find that full-length leather coats are difficult to pull off, particularly in Singapore’s weather, try this bandana print leather jacket.
While most people tend to wear fitting leather jackets, Jo Yi-Seo opts for a loose fit – this makes her look like she has a bigger build and adds to the tough girl chic that she’s going for.
