Perfecting Jet-Setter Chic with South Korean Stylist Kim Nara
We handpick the coolest details from Kim Nara’s urban-city wardrobe so you can rock the same swag wherever you go.
Street style can be tricky to master and it definitely gets more complicated when you’re travelling. How do you pack light without compromising a more layered style? We take cues from international jet-setter and South Korean stylist Kim Nara on the art of street style. Her personality shines through her eclectic silhouettes, providing a fresh take on fashion fit for travel.
Make A (Jacket) Statement
Whether you’re headed someplace warmer or a chilly city, you’ll never go wrong with loud outerwear. The sheer intensity of a statement piece will add dimensions to any basic look. If you’re feeling brave, try picking a faux fur or leather jacket to really take the fashion up a notch. Nara likes pairing her detailed pieces with bottoms of a clashing colour.
So Shady
The simplest way to take any outfit from drab to fab is to pair it with some chic sunglasses. From the trendy colourful wraparounds to classic tinted lenses, have your pick of shades to level up your travel style. The handy accessory is a Nara favourite – and we can see why. Sunnies instantly boost your cool-girl energy without trying too hard, and the convenience of carrying them around abroad is definitely a plus.
Boots for Days
If you want to strut down the streets of New York or Seoul, you’ll need a pair of strong boots. Boots are the perfect blend of stylish and comfortable that wows people everywhere. To truly reach it-girl status, pick a style that packs a punch and rock it with confidence. Don’t be afraid to embrace some brighter tones for your shoes – they’re going to give off all the right vibes.
Off the Top of Your Head
To take a page out of Nara’s book, one of the most important things that transform global street fashion is some interesting headpieces. Rather than a neutral hat or cap, switch things up with fun knitted headgear or even a beanie with cat ears. If you’re looking toward adding some character to your more serious fits, give a polka-dotted bucket hat a whirl. If not, try wrapping a colourful scarf around your head to create a different, more playful silhouette.
