The "Autumn Check Shirt Street Fashion Styling" of an actress who has been talked about as the original "ex-girlfriend" character for over 15 years and becomes a hot topic whenever she takes a selfie.

She first entered the entertainment industry as a model after winning the grand prize at a cosmetics advertisement contest in 1995, and debuted as a singer in 1999 with her first album 'Mujung', receiving the New Singer Award. Afterwards, she transitioned to acting and worked on various projects before taking on the role of Han Yu-ju in 'Coffee Prince' in 2007; this role truly became a role model for women, marking the beginning of her second golden age.

It was a role of a lifetime that left such a strong impression that even now, more than 15 years later, it is consistently mentioned on the internet as one of the "two pillars of ex-girlfriend characters." Since then, she has been steadily recognized as a late bloomer, receiving the PD Award at the MBC Drama Awards for 'Queen of Reversals,' the Best Actress Award for 'Yongpal,' and the Excellence in Acting Award for 'Suits.' That actress is Chae Jung-an.

In 2026, she returned to the screen for the first time in 10 years since 'Two Loves' with the film 'For the Present,' showing a different side of herself as a mother searching for her missing daughter. Now, let's take a look at the four styling looks recently revealed, one by one.

Denim styling completed with a Margiela velvet bag

It was a look that drew the eye from the moment the gold oval buckle hanging at the waist was seen. She paired a brown-toned turtleneck with light-wash denim, and the velvet chain bag she held is an item from Maison Margiela's current season.

The crumpled velvet texture gave off a subtle sheen under the lighting, adding a distinct presence to the simple denim look. In another scene, the character stood against a rustic metal door, lifting the bag slightly; it was fascinating to see how such different moods could emerge between a close-up and a full-body shot. Seeing how this single velvet bag completely transforms a daily look, I feel every time I see it that it is definitely a must-have.

Burgundy set-up styling completed with the Etro Pony Bag

It was a look that exuded a comfortable atmosphere from the natural moment of sitting in a chair and eating. A burgundy striped knit was paired with a silk skirt in the same tone, and the pony hair textured bag placed next to it is the Etro Pony Bag.

The tassel details added a subtle accent to the casual look. In another scene, she changed into a matching burgundy jacquard blazer and shorts set, paired with knee-high boots; the relaxed brunch vibe and the chic poses conveyed completely different moods. The open rooftop background and lush greenery contrasted with the burgundy tones, adding vibrancy to the entire photo.

Trench coat styling completed with a teddy bear charm tote bag

It was a look that exuded a relaxed vibe right from the posture of sitting with sunglasses on and legs crossed. A striped top and a black skirt were paired under a beige trench coat, and a single teddy bear charm hanging from a brown tote bag added a lovely touch to the outfit.

Finishing the look with black pointed flats also complemented the classic trench coat perfectly. In another scene, the same coat was worn while walking down the street, and I could feel the contrast in atmosphere between the relaxed vibe of sitting in a cafe and the vibrancy of the moment of walking. The alleyway background under the bright sunlight paired exceptionally well with the beige trench coat.

Autumn street styling completed with a plaid shirt

It was a look that immediately conveyed a sense of the season, starting with the navy knit draped over the shoulders. A gray tank top was layered under a burgundy check shirt and paired with light denim, and the knit draped over the shoulders added dimension to the check shirt look, which could have otherwise been plain.

It was fun to watch because the facial expressions and eye movements were completely different in all three scenes: the moment walking while talking on the phone, the moment gazing into the distance in profile, and the moment turning slightly back. The vibrant colors of the check pattern stood out particularly clearly against the vintage background created by the brick buildings and narrow alleyways. I believe that styling that captures a different charm in every single selfie like this is what true, down-to-earth fashion is all about.

That unwavering presence and charm for 15 years

I looked through four different styling looks, starting with a Margiela velvet bag, followed by an Etro Pony bag, a trench coat, and a plaid shirt. Whether dressed formally or casually, he created a natural vibe without appearing forced in any way. Hearing that he created a role of a lifetime that is talked about for over 15 years made me realize that this enduring charm didn't just come out of nowhere. I am already looking forward to seeing what kind of face he will show in his next comeback project.
