As the crisp autumn breeze sweeps in, the K-fashion market is buzzing with versatile new arrivals like coats, sweatshirts, knits, and pants. These items are quickly becoming key choices for fall styling, offering an 'effortlessly chic' (꾸안꾸, kkumin deut an kkumin deut, meaning 'dressed up but not dressed up') charm that feels natural and stylish.
7 'Effortlessly Chic' Knit Styling Tips Loved by Celebrities
According to a report by Allure Korea (October 7, 2026), Korean celebrities like Go Soyoung (고소영), Kim Nayoung (김나영), Ryu Hyeyoung (류혜영), and Jeon Somi (전소미) are leading the autumn fashion trend with their knit-focused 'effortlessly chic' looks. Here are their seven styling tips:
- Utilize Deep V-necks: Kim Nayoung layers deep V-neck knits with grey or black T-shirts for a sophisticated autumn look, replacing summer's white T-shirts.
- Long Necklace as a Point: Elevate a clean look by adding a long necklace, like Rie Studio's silver pendant long necklace, that falls below the sternum.
- Red for Vibrancy: Inject life into autumn fashion, which can easily become dull with leaf-like colors, by using a toned-down red knit (from brands like A.T.E Vanessa Bruno, Zara) as an inner layer or a focal point. Kim Nayoung paired a red knit with a black inner top, wide white pants, and a brown work jacket.
- Thin, Relaxed Silhouette: Ryu Hyeyoung recommends thin, relaxed-fit knits with a slight sheerness, such as Muji's charcoal grey crewneck sweater made from slub fabric, to emphasize a delicate feel.
- Logo Tops for Y2K Vibes: Incorporate the logo tops you loved last summer as an inner layer for a minimalist look to add a touch of Y2K sensibility. Jeon Somi wore a mint U-neck knit over a Miu Miu white top, paired with wide denim pants and chunky loafers.
- Henley-neck Layering: Go Soyoung showcased a styling reminiscent of The Row using Zara items. She created a voluminous look by layering a loose-fit boat-neck knit over a T-shirt that combined both Henley and V-neck designs.
- Color Pop in Neutral Looks: When a neutral color combination feels too plain, take inspiration from Go Soyoung by draping a refreshing blue knit over your shoulders for a pop of color, or by pairing a navy deep V-neck with capri pants and shirring loafers, then captivating attention with a large red bag. You can find inspiration from various brands like H&M, Arket, Cos, and Esther Aekme.
