How to Find the Perfect Statement Piece

‘Statement piece’ is a term you’ve probably heard before in fashion circles, and it's just as relevant when it comes to Korean fashion.

Maybe you want to show off your personality, or perhaps you want to express your mood. Either way, a statement piece is not only fashionable, but also gives a little bit of insight into the kind of person you are.

Of course, not everything can be a statement piece. Your favourite oversized t-shirt might be representative of your love for hypebeast fashion, but a statement piece needs to be something that catches people’s attention immediately.

Let’s take a look at a few qualities that make for a good statement piece!

Bright Colours

Not only are bright colours a foolproof way of getting people’s attention, they’re also a great way to express how you’re feeling. You might want to wear yellow if you’re feeling cheerful, red if you’re feeling a little flirty, and if you’re feeling a little wild, hot pink might be perfect for you.

Patterns

You don’t have to dress according to your feelings all the time. Sometimes, just wearing something that makes people’s heads turn is good enough, and patterns are a great way of catching people’s eye!

And since there are so many different kinds of patterns—from stripes, to plaid, to animal prints—people can still learn a little bit about your personality depending on which patterns you like.

Little Details

A statement piece doesn’t always have to be loud and bold. Sometimes, it’s the little details that stand out the most! If hats and bags can be statement pieces, why not other accessories as well?

Dangling earrings work especially well as statement pieces, and they’re also a great way of adding a little bit of sparkle to your outfit!
