Best known for her lead roles in The King: Eternal Monarch (2020, as Jung Tae-eul) and Cheese in the Trap (2016, as Hong Seol), Kim Go-eun looks effortlessly stylish while dressed head-to-toe in Chanel. Replicate her look by wearing a camel cardigan as a top and pairing it with a black and white skirt. Finish it off with a pair of understated flats.

This 25-year-old singer-turned-actress proves that black will always be the new black. She wore an ebony leather suit and a pair of killer pumps. As Singapore’s weather is rather unforgiving, we’ve chosen a black cotton suit and a pair of strappy sandals instead.

Park’s known for her stellar acting resume: She helmed several lead roles in shows such as Healer (2014, as Chae Young-shin) and What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim (2018, as Kim Mi-so). Besides that, she has a great sense of style as well. Here, she went with a full white ensemble that looks super comfy, but added a pop of fun with a pastel pink cardigan.

25-year-old actress Suzy Bae definitely knows how to accessorise. She styled a scarf as a wrap around her shoulders, instead of wearing it the traditional way around the neck. Steal her look by wearing a ruffled dress and tying the scarf the same way. Complete the look with a delicate necklace.

This 38-year-old star, best known for playing Yoon Se-ri in K-drama Crash Landing on You (2019), is serving us comfy and polished realness. She wore an oversized striped shirt (which you can casually “steal” from your man’s closet) with a pair of camel chinos. Finish off your look with raffia sandals for that ultimate laid-back look.

Best known for her role as Jo Yi-seo in Itaewon Class (2020), this 25-year-old up-and-coming actress is rocking dark neutrals during winter. Since we don’t have the colder season, ditch the chocolate brown coat she’s wearing. Instead, go for a billowy, off-shoulder top and match it with a grey knife pleated skirt. Opt for a pair of mid-heeled pumps instead for maximum comfort.

According to this 30-year-old beauty, a floral printed number is a foolproof outfit. Instead of opting your usual blooms, go for something that’s fun and unexpected, like this Louis Vuitton dress. Wear it with a pair of simple earrings and heeled pumps.
