Get That K-pop Look: Nam Ji Hyun's New Year's Eve Instagram

Welcome to this week's Get That K-pop Look, where we showcase an original K-Pop outfit and give you tips on putting together your own similarly styled, affordable outfit.

It's a brand new year, and if you're looking for some brand new style inspiration, check out 4Minute's Nam Ji Hyun's Instagram post from her New Year's Eve. It's a night when most partyers opt for skin-tight sequins and big blown-out hair. Nothing against a little sparkle, but we're digging Nam Ji's middle finger to a traditional New Year's outfit. It's not easy to make a turtleneck and a bandana look this chic, but we've got some suggestions for you on putting together your very own K-pop biker outfit.

Blue Bandana- Paisley, $2.99 from Only Bandanas

Unruly bangs? One too many days without a good shampoo? Like the effortless headband look? Just sick and tired of spending too much time and effort on that stuff on top of your head? This blue bandana is your answer. No one else has to know if you're throwing the bandana on out of laziness. To anyone else, this looks like a gritty fashion statement.

Stretch Turtleneck Top, $24.99 from Ralph Lauren

The slimming, stretchy material of this short-sleeved turtleneck should be enough to wipe away any apprehensions you might have about making a turtleneck sexy and modern.

Moto Zip Crop Jacket, $88 from Nasty Gal

It shouldn't take Nam Ji Hyun to sell you a leather biker jacket. It's a staple winter item that could class up even yoga pants and a ratty t-shirt. Nam Ji does give it that K-pop panache with her added buttons, though. Whether it's one big brooch on the front or a hundred wacky pins around the whole jacket, don't be afraid to add your own personal touch to this classic jacket and let it stand out from the crowd.

50 Piece Grab Bag 1-Inch Pinback Buttons, $15 from DistinctDesignsUnltd on Etsy

It's possible you've already got a handful (or ten) of your favorite "flair." But if not, this grab bag of pinback buttons is a good way to stock up quickly. Even if you don't like some of the designs in the bunch, at $15 it's still worth it - you can always trade some with friends or pin them to gifts in the future. If you know you want a more specific theme for your badges, this shop has all kinds of smaller packs including 80s, dinosaur, superhero, yoga, space, sports, music, and animal pinback buttons.

Refuge "Boyfriend" Rolled-Up Denim Shorts, $15 from Charlotte Russe

Who says New Year's Eve in a cold climate is no time for baring legs? If other girls get to wear short skirts, there's no reason you can't just wear the shorts. Throw these on over a pair of black tights and you've got a way to show off those gams in the winter without having to hobble around in a miniskirt.

Harley-12 Boots, $37 from ZooShoo

Maybe you want a pair of boots that's edgier than the infamous Ugg. Maybe you're just cold. Either way, the combat boot is both the perfect antidote to a lame New Year's Eve party and a formidable alternative to the high heel.
