K-Drama Fever: Fashion Tips from “Descendants of the Sun”
Despite the show’s end, fans of “Descendants of the Sun” are still reminiscing on the mega-hit drama. For those who have been suffering from withdrawal symptoms, we’ve got you covered! This week on K-Beauty & Style, I’m going to introduce actress Song Hye-kyo inspired fashion styles from her latest drama.

Much of the drama “Descendants of the Sun” takes place in the fictional war-torn and disaster-stricken country of Uruk. The story unfolds where the lead actor Song Joong-ki’s character Special Unit Chief Yoo Si-jin falls in love with medical doctor Kang Mo-yeon played by actress Song Hye-kyo. Given the setting, Kang Mo-yeon rocks minimalistic, chic styles that are not difficult to replicate.

Pantone Colors of the Year Inspired Simple Tops
Cool, comfortable, and flattering, simple tops such as flowy linen blouses and plain sweatshirts are a must-have. In the drama, Song Hye-kyo is spotted wearing plain yet chic tops inspired by 2016 Pantone Colors of the Year—Rose Quartz (soft pink) and Serenity (baby blue). For the office, ditch your everyday black jacket and opt for a toned-down soft blue blazer. Team up the blazer with something as plain and simple as a white tee and white shorts combo and instantly get that Kang Mo-yeon look across. In addition, loose-fitting linen blouses and oversized sweatshirts in lovely corals, pinks, and checkered patterns are Kang Mo-yeon’s favorite items. Mix and match with simple bottoms—anything from denim shorts, mini skirts to high-waisted loose trousers and put together a chic spring outfit.

Mini Skirts & Shirt Dresses
KangMo-yeon’s fashion is characterized by casual, laid-back styles. Although shorts and pants are your best friend on a mission trip to Uruk, Dr. Kang occasionally wears skirts and dresses. One wearable look featured in the drama was a grey t-shirt and denim skirt ensemble. It’s super easy to re-create the look since you probably already own these pieces. For casual outings, opt for a button-down mini denim skirt and wear it teamed up with a loose-fitting grey tee. Top off the look with a pair of adorable cream-colored slip-ons and you have that perfect Kang Mo-yeon look. For the office, swap your everyday black dress for a plaid shirtdress and instantly look like a celebrity. Pair the dress with simple shoes such as nude pumps and you have a chic office outfit.

High-top sneakers & Nude Heels
To replicate Kang Mo-yeon’s wardrobe choices, focus on the shoes. Actress Song Hye-kyo isn’t tall but her stylist definitely knows how to make her look taller and leaner. Dr.Kang’s favorite shoe choices in the drama are the ‘JW’ brand’s Perforated Platform High-top Sneakers and the ‘SB’ brand’s Modern Strap Sandal which shout sophistication and comfort.

Earrings
Last but not least, don’t forget to add earrings to your outfit. In the drama, Song Hye-kyo likes to wear small earrings decorated with beads, crystals, and pearls. Dr. Kang’s favorite picks are the ‘A’ brand’s U Turn Stone E and Triple Rolling E and the ‘HS’ brand’s Moonlight Crystal Earrings—subtle, simple, and classy designs that are sure to become your everyday favorites.

Play with these tips and relive the fashionable moments in the drama!
