Day 3 of
Guest Blogger Week is here and today we're all about
SHINee's
Minho and his fine self. I've been meaning to do a fashion post about him for the longest time, so I was very happy to get this one in my email. Behold, an ode to Minho's style:
Dibidibidis, My Name is Minho: A Fashion Appreciation Post
SHINee, since their debut, has always been prefaced by ‘contemporary’ to their name. Meant to signify the group’s experimental take on K-Pop, SHINee’s fashion, like their music, always been trendy and attention grabbing.
But what about when they’re not onstage? Self-professed fashion lover
Key is the most prominent style-wise,
taking selfies with House of Holland designer HenryHolland and
chilling with Carri Munden of Cassette Playa. Conversely, as arguably the most publicly recognized face in SHINee,
Minho’s fashion sense has been overlooked. Which is interesting but understandable: where are your eyes going to linger in this photo op?
Key’s the perfect fashion foil to Minho: while the former is playful and irreverent in his dress, the latter is understated and conventional. But that doesn’t mean he’s a bad dresser so the time has finally come for a Minho style appreciation post!
Minho’s personal style centres around classic wardrobe pieces and simple silhouettes. Duffle coats, wool scarves, a t-shirt or a nice button down. He wears generally muted or neutral colours and his outfits are never flashy, but why would you need to if you had his proportions? Sometimes all you need is a white tee and model-status legs to fill out a pair of skinnies.
Minho’s also an outerwear guy because it allows him to play with layering, texture and silhouette in subtle ways.
If I had to pinpoint some influences though, Minho would be of the Preppy persuasion (who better to model the
Konkuk University brochure) mixed with the Left Bank look -- think ‘understated French cool’ like fashion lines
A.P.C or
sandro.
Given his passion for football and penchant for
Adidas and
Burberry, he’s probably taking some cues from football casual culture too.
He really wants you to know he’s into Burberry.
So that’s my take on Minho’s fashion style! What do you think, and were there any favourite outfits sported by Flaming Charisma that I missed?
