How an AI-level beauty, cast on the spot while playing games at an arcade... chooses bottoms that make legs look long!

There is a member who entered the entertainment industry after being cast on the spot while playing DDR at an arcade in Apgujeong Rodeo. Leaving a strong impression with their 2020 debut song, they established themselves as the team's visual and leader, and have since been widely recognized for their vocal and dance skills on various stages.

Recently, she has been consistently active, winning Rookie of the Year and Global Choice awards at various ceremonies. The star of this sophisticated vibe is none other than Karina! So, let's take a closer look at how Karina completes her style these days, photo by photo.

Balance created by a gray zip-up hoodie and a crop top

The first thing you see is an oversized gray zip-up hoodie. In the shot, the hoodie is draped slightly over the head while the wearer sits, and a black crop top underneath offsets the hoodie's large size.

The key point of these jogger pants is the elastic waistband featuring a large Nike logo that firmly holds the waist. The design creates a contrast between a loose fit on the outside and a cropped look on the inside, so even though it is an oversized set, the overall outfit doesn't look sagging. I felt that this single crop top perfectly balances the look.

The vibe captured by the pink knit

This is a pink sweater featuring the distinctive, dense twist pattern of cable knits. It has a fitted silhouette, but the sleeves fall exceptionally long, long enough to completely cover the fingertips; this single sleeve length transforms the sweater from just a pretty colored item into something unique.

It features a round neck and a cropped length that reveals the waistline; however, due to the nature of the knit material, it didn't look stiff even though it was cropped, but rather had a soft drape. The color wasn't a bright pink but a slightly muted tone, so it didn't look childish. I think the key to this look is pairing it with black skinny jeans to tone down the volume and color of the top with a darker tone on the bottom.

Black Prada tank top, a look completed with layering

The last part is the highlight of this look. A black nylon cropped jacket is draped lightly over a black tank top featuring a distinct Prada logo; the jacket's voluminous sleeves create volume in the upper body, while the khaki shorts underneath reveal the leg lines.

I wore a brown leather shoulder bag across my body to balance the overall tone. In another shot taken at the airport, I paired the same jacket and shorts with black long boots; the long length of the boots significantly reduced the exposed area between the shorts and the shorts, creating the effect of making my legs look longer. It was an outfit that made me realize just how much the mood can change by simply altering a logo or a single material.

So, to summarize Karina's style

What runs through Karina's styling is ultimately 'contrast.' Whether layering a crop top under an oversized hoodie, matching a bright knit with dark jeans, or tucking a tank top with a prominent brand logo inside a rugged jacket, she consistently creates a sophisticated mood with just a few simple items by contrasting large and small, and light and dark. Another common thread was leaving a small detail, such as a logo or material, as a focal point. If you want to wear casual clothes without looking bland, this method of contrast is worth taking note of.
