If you’re a fan of tvN’s popular new K-drama series “Her Private Life” (and if you haven’t seen it, we recommend you binge the series, pronto), you’d definitely notice Park Min Young’s character, Sung Duk Mi, and her impeccable styling on the show.

Park plays a modern and efficacious art curator who always looks immaculate and chic in a brightly-coloured suits and co-ords. In fact, she sports them so often in the show, the vivid coloured suit has almost become synonymous with the show and Park herself. 

An interesting thing to note about the wardrobe for the show: Park herself chose most of the custom-made suits for her character. Ready-to-wear items were not a flawless fit against Park’s smaller frame, hence, special attention was devoted to ensuring that suits were custom-made for an impeccable fit. 

Oozing sophistication and femininity, the suits mostly had flattering cinched waistlines, relaxed fit trousers with a wider hem, and subtly structured square shoulders for a boxier, more authoritative look. 

Today (Mar 4) is Park's birthday, so we curated the best looks of this stylish curator in the K-drama. Steal her looks here, plus some styling tips to get you started.

One of the most iconic fashion scenes of Her Private Life happens right in episode two. Dressed in a hot fuchsia pink suit jacket styled unbuttoned over a simple black cotton tee and a pair of high-waisted slim fit trousers, Park Min Young looked polished and chic with her hair slicked back into a bun, and with a structured black tote bag in hand. Copy this look with a relaxed tuxedo-style blazer and trousers in bright fuschia from Zara.

Shop this look: Structured linen jacket, S$159; Pleated bermuda shorts, S$89.90 from Mango

Opting for a camel brown fleece suit which is a classic timeless staple, the Korean actress looked effortlessly sharp while hauling a gold chain strapped shoulder bag.

Try out this look for yourself with a brown linen jacket with strong power shoulders and a structured silhouette. Give the ensemble a fresh contemporary spin with a pair of tailored bermuda shorts in place of long trousers.

Shop this look: ASOS DESIGN pleat waist suit blazer in peach, S$101.90; ASOS DESIGN tapered suit trousers in peach, S$59.29 from ASOS

We love a great pastel moment. This peachy pink suit looks particularly pretty and fitting for the spring season (here are the biggest spring fashion trends you need to know). Cop this look with an oversized peach waist suit with a cinched bodice and graphic contrasting black buttons. The coordinating peach tapered trousers offer a sleek cut to anchor the oversized proportions of the blazer. Take a page out of Park’s style books and dress this suit with a cream silk camisole, white strappy sandals, and a matching white box bag.

An eye-catching bold blue suit can look sophisticated and playful at the same time. London-based clothing label Cefinn has a cornflower blue soft twill blazer with sharp lapels and a nipped wait. Team it with the matching cropped pants that are crafted with turned up cuffs. Try your hand at colour-blocking by styling this look with a vivid yellow or red top and complete the look with leather ankle boots.

Shop this look: ASOS DESIGN pop waisted suit blazer, S$96.34; ASOS DESIGN pop slim suit trousers, S$59.29 from ASOS

A saturated red suit can appear intimidating to wear, but Park’s character shows us how stylish and wearable it can be. It also offers an energising, powerful look that allows your confidence to shine through. Mimic this look with this red blazer and slim trousers from ASOS. Accessorise with simple minimalist gold accessories (these are the Spring'20 jewellery to buy now and love forever) and elegant pared back high heels so that the outfit doesn’t look too OTT.
