Layering is a common feature in a lot of the series’ outfits, with blazers and jackets often taking the spotlight. The technique allows for different kinds of creative mix-and-match, as well as elevated self-expression, which suits the persona of influencer Seo A Ri and the series as a whole.

Other than layering, long dresses are recurrent in Seo A Ri’s wardrobe, portraying a sense of femininity and modernity. Sundresses are a top pick as they draw attention to fancy necklaces, highlighting Seo A Ri’s character as a top influencer. They also accentuate the actress’ collarbone and shoulder.

The typical black dress is embellished with zippers and a piece of pearl jewelry.

The pastel pink color reappears in the form of a sundress, complemented by silver accessories and a black belt that give the outfit a more elaborate feel.
