Here’s Why SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu Is The K-Pop Industry’s Newest Fashion ‘IT’ Boy

Mingyu

Everyone’s FYP is flooded with SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu’s Calvin Klein campaign, which has our undivided attention. And it’s fair to say that he is the K-pop newest ‘IT’ boy on the fashion industry’s radar. 2024 seems like an excellent  year for the idol, as SEVENTEEN made history as the first K-pop group to perform on the iconic main stage at the Glastonbury Festival. They are also gearing up to headline the upcoming Lollapalooza festival in Berlin.

Over the past couple of years, SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu has slowly created a space for himself in everyone’s dream boyfriend mood board on Pinterest. The K-pop idol is famously known as the group’s main rapper, sub-vocalist, and visual. In terms of his fashion choices, Mingyu’s aesthetic is partial towards comfy street style and high-end casual wardrobe pieces from brands like Dior, Burberry, and more. His everyday attire, which often infuses some ’90s grunge and punk vibes, includes some oversized boxy tees, a functional backpack, baggy pants, a clunky pair of stomping shoes, and a bucket hat or beanie over his doe eyes.

Mingyu occasionally adds a tinge of preppiness, appearing to be shaped by his love affair with everything retro, including black-and-white photography, film cameras, and classic jazz and blues music! In contrast to his usual selection of elegant, timeless clothing, his accessories display a hint of risque. The idol frequently accessories his ensembles with glares from Chanel and Gentle Monster, opting for statement frames and dramatic frames. 

Scroll down below as we dissect some of our favourite styles served by the FML rapper:

Denim Date

Mingyu and denim were best friends even before his collaboration with Calvin Klein. The star is often seen styling denim staples like jeans and shackets during his touristy time in Japan or Paris.

Concert Rockstar

Mingyu’s stylist really knows how to put on a show for the fans; from sultry sheer ensembles to Hanbok-inspired looks, his on-stage style is definitely a benchmark in the industry.

Suited Up

Dressed to impress? Mingyu’s sartorial choices deserve a special place on the list. Mingyu in a suit is a vision of an old-money vibe. You will often spot him in these ensembles at various places, be it a Chanel perfume launch or a Cartier event.

Pinterest Boyfriend

A fan favourite, Mingyu has the ultimate Pinterest boyfriend persona. His Instagram feed often inspires  Pinterest-worthy styles, merging classic and contemporary with an air of laid-back charm and artful expression.

Runway Ready

Mingyu’s Dior ambassadorship doesn’t come as a surprise. Dior announced the news, calling him the “international man of style.” This is something we all agree on if you have looked closely at his Instagram feed. Be it Dior’s front row or a Burberry campaign, Mingyu has mastered the art of styling runway looks.
