[Get The Look] Korea's Sexy Tinkerbell: Ga In

source: tumblr.com
Son Ga In (member of Kpop girl group Brown Eyed Girls) who was promoting her latest hit songs "Tinkerbell" and "Bloom" in Korea makes all girls envy her and all guys fall for her due to her great figure and pretty looks. 

In her latest mini album "Talk About S" she showcases a very mature, seductive yet sweet image.
The outfits she rocks during the promotional performances of that album really caught my eye.
Moreover they inspired me to bring that sexy yet sweet vibe into my wardrobe as well!

Read on to get inspired by Ga In!

Firstly let me show you some examples of her outfits!


Here in her official music video to her song "Bloom" she wears a red turtle neck pullover with super short black shorts.

Let's analyse her style!

THE OUTFITS

Basically Ga In incoporates colourful knit (cropped) pullovers 
with some shorts
on some eye-catching tights 
and tops it all of with a pair of pumps.

By doing so she combinates covering tops
with revealing bottoms. Thus balancing out the conservativeness and the sexiness of her outfit.

Coloured knits are a must-have item for the winter season. Not only do they keep you warm but they also add a pop of liveliness into your wardrobe during a season when everything goes into sleepy mode.
However knit pullovers can look frumpy and boxy on your body.
And here is where the bottoms play an important role. To counterbalance the shapelessness on your upper half, your lower half should be fitted. This you can achieve by wearing skinny pants or shorts on tights.
In Ga In's case, super short shorts on see-through tights that have sexy prints on them like a bow on the knees or straps on the thighs. At this point, however, we have to note that Ga In as a Kpop artist sports her outfits as stage costumes!
We, on the contratry, need to make things a little more wearable (unless you guys can rock see-through tights under freezing temperatures!)
That's why I recommend you to wear warm, opaque tights under your shorts or under a cute skirt.
All in all: The key is to match loose tops with fitted bottoms in order to not lose your shape!


THE ACCESSORIES

Since she's wearing patternless, solid-coloured tops she often adds a statement necklace to bring more texture and highlight to her top half. Other than that she keeps the rest of her accessories rather understated.
We don't want the accessories to be to overwhelming!
All in all: Choose one statement piece and keep the rest understated!


THE MAKEUP

Ga In is known for her signature short hair and strong, edgy eyeliner. She has mono lids which she balances out with a very defined, thick cat eye liner. If you look closely (in the music video e.g.) you'll see that she adds hints of colour to her eye liner in order to give her eyes a unique twist.
Other than that she keeps her lips very settle with a "bitten" gradient look. You can achieve that look by using a lip stain. Apply it to the center and the inner rim of your lips and blend the colour outwards.


And now let's bring Ga In's style into our own wardrobe!


Here I'm wearing a bright red knit pullover topping it off with a golden necklace.
I even have the short hair to pull off Ga In's look! What do you guys think - You think I can rock those bright coloured knits? ;)
If you're curious about my bottoms: I went with some simple opaque black tights and put on a black A-line skirt.


Other than that we should of course not only look at her amazing style sense, 
but also note her great songs!
I really love her song "Bloom". It's about a young woman who undergoes the process of becoming a mature lady through the experience of love. The song has a cheerful vibe, a catchy melody and
I really like the cute choreography! ;)
