Lisa , who was recently named Asia’s most beautiful woman according to TCCAsia’s list, proves that you don’t need much to stand out from the crowd.

Her  pared-down look consisting of a long-sleeved top, high-waisted jeans, shoulder bag and loafers is effortless. We especially love the addition of a pendant necklace.

Swapping your contact lenses for a pair of glasses not only adds a dose of preppy chic, but it also prevents any discomfort and irritation from the dry, recycled aeroplane air. Taeyeon also shows us how to wear an oversized knit stylishly – that’s slightly off-shoulders.

To help you get in the mood of your tropical island vacation, why not start with your airport fashion? Take a leaf from Joy of Red Velvet and dress up in a breezy floral sundress and match it with a large tote (which is a bag size you should be seen carrying, btw) that can store all your travel essentials – our kind of bag to take on vacation.

Say you woke up late and you’re rushing to catch your flight before the gate closes. There’s no reason why you still can’t look on point. Just throw on a grungy leather jacket like Sunmi and you’re good to go. But we suggest opting for low-cut shoes to avoid the hassle of getting in and out of high-cut boots at immigration.

Blazers are not just great for the office. Twice’s Nayeon is proof that you can rock the sharp piece at the airport and dress it down with a white top, mustard wide-legged pants and a comfy pair of classic white sneakers.
