Lovelyz' Seo Ji-soo has been incredibly busy lately, juggling acting and streaming. However, despite juggling these various activities, her sense of style has always stood out. I’ve taken a closer look at three of Seo Ji-soo’s charming and "kkeu-in-kkeu" (cute and chic) daily looks, focusing on the underlying principles.
Why a single knit vest changes your upper body proportions
Many of you probably have a V-neck knit vest in your closet but rarely take it out because it looks stuffy when you actually wear it, right? I used to be like that too. But after seeing Seo Ji-soo's styling, I realized why.
The vest's V-neckline falls vertically from the neck, drawing the eye up and down. So, simply pulling the shirt collar out slightly makes the neckline look longer and keeps the upper body from looking stuffy.
The braided hair draped to one side is also a key point; since it tidies up the hairline, it has the effect of making your facial features look much more distinct. When taking photos, sitting in a natural-light window seat definitely makes your skin tone look brighter, so I highly recommend securing a window seat when going to a cafe.
These diamond-patterned knit vests are frequently found in the Polo Ralph Lauren line, but you can easily find a similar vibe at places like Uniqlo or Zara.

Why an Oversized Shirt Completely Changes Its Silhouette with Just a Belt
Many people worry that wearing an oversized shirt will make them look too big, but if you look at Seo Ji-soo's styling, the answer lies in the belt. She wore a dark-toned shirt loosely and simply wrapped a thin belt around it; that alone created a waistline and made her upper body volume look stylish. It turns out the problem isn't the oversized fit itself, but that if there are no defined lines anywhere, it just looks bulky.
For this look, I swept my hair back to expose the nape of my neck; this creates a contrast with the loose volume of the shirt, which actually gives it a chic effect. The makeup wasn't heavy either, with just the lip tone serving as a focal point, and it blended naturally with the dark tones of the outfit.
The brown handbag in my hand was the only color accent in the neutral outfit, and you can easily find similar lines of this classic bowling bag silhouette at Mandarina Duck or select boutiques these days.

The reason why simply tying a knit sweater around the waist changes your proportions
Wearing just a striped shirt can look a bit plain because it hangs long from top to bottom, but tying the knit sweater around the waist was a stroke of genius. The knot at the waistline naturally draws the eye to that spot, creating the effect of separating the upper and lower body.
The key point is that the knitwear was chosen in a tone different from the outfit (blue, ivory) and tied; it would have been plain if it had been the same color, but the contrasting colors made it stand out more. Matching it with short wavy hair and comfortable shoes also played a part in completing the overall relaxed, casual mood.
The reason the pose of sitting on a bench with a drink looks natural is that I captured the moment of simply doing what I was doing, without forcing a pose. It’s a good tip to keep in mind when taking photos.
Seo Ji-soo's autumn outfit: the principle was the answer after all.
As I looked through the three looks, I realized that the reason Seo Ji-soo’s styling comes alive without special luxury brands or flashy items ultimately lies in the ‘principles.’ Creating vertical lines with a vest, cinching the waist with a belt, and adding a waist accent with a different color—I found that these three things are things you can replicate right today using clothes you already have in your wardrobe.
We can definitely dress like this, too. You don't have to buy new clothes; just applying this one principle to the clothes you already have will make a noticeable difference.
