[STYLE SPOTLIGHT] SHINee's KEY


Ah, Key. Or officially named Kim Ki-Bum but since the K-Pop world is over saturated with Kim Ki-Bum's , he changed his name to Key. Simple. Globalised. English.

Key was raised by his grandmother since he was young and has a special bond with her. He was discovered at the S.M National Tour  Audition Casting and debuted under a group called SHINee. He has never looked back since. But today, we're not talking about his great achievements in the music industry (and he has achieved a lot), we are talking about his achievements in fashion.

Key has always been a style icon, what with SHINee taking the world by storm with their bright and fluorescent jeans during their debut. After that, each member developed their own style but Key's style stood out, more so than the rest. Due to his androgynous looks and fierce style, Key has captured the hearts of fashionistas everywhere.

So let's round up his Top 6 looks :

Layering like a Boss
The airport may just be a place where us common people go to board a plane, but to Korean Stars, it's their personal runway. Key is sighted here wearing multiple layers of clothing. When I try to layer on more than 2 layers, I look like a homeless person. When Key layers his clothes, the angels sing. A grey shirt UNDER another grey shirt UNDER a leather jacket UNDER a wool jacket WITH a scarf to match ?! His layering skillz are off the chain. Key threw on some checkered pajama pants, a blue briefcase and tied everything together with grey socks. The hat though... is best suited for a tea party.

Key and The Seven Dwarfs
Here we have The Queen (or King) of Fabulous getting his disney on. He is wearing a graphic button up which consists of the Snow White Dwarfs ! Cuteness. He paired it with a navy sweater and a aqua green hat. I would literally clone myself seven more times, just as long as Snow Key comes to my humble abode and stay there .... forever.

Marie Claire got Shorter
Key is loving these pair of shorts. You can tell how much a star loves a piece of garment by counting how many times he has worn it. And two is usually considered A LOT of times. In the left pic, he is seen pairing the shorts with studded patent sneakers and a grey t-shirt. I love his neon croakies ( the string/rope that connects to his glasses .. yeah, I had to Google it as well).
The picture on the right, Key paired the 'Marie Claire' shorts with grey leggings (!!!) and a 'I Shall Give You Bonzai' t-shirt and sweater.

Cheetah-licious
Key put on an all-black outfit and wore this smashing and FIERCE cheetah blazer. It's like he is letting the cheetah blazer take centre stage and we love that about him. He knows how to balance his outfits out and make a statement piece pop.


Put It Over Your Shoulder
It's the trend nowadays to put your jacket over your shoulders to make you look like you have 4 arms. Even though I have not tried it in the open yet ( people would think I'm crazy or an alien ) but Key pulled it off really well. With a black and white t-shirt crawling with crocodiles with a pair of clogs (....... urm I'm a tad bit skeptical about the clogs though) , he worked this outfit.

Studded Leather
His studded leather jacket is swag incarnate. One of the sleeves is white, the jacket is partially studded (at the most strategic places ), and it is quilted. Where does he get all his clothes from seriously ? Online according to him and his members. The other members of SHINee complained about his shopping habits and how packages accumulate in front of their house every time they go overseas. An honorable mention will be given to his unique belt as well. So chic.


In conclusion WE ARE IN LOVE WITH KEY'S STYLE. We would love to marry off his style with our style so that we'll make stylish and fashionable babies in the future who will dominate the world . /evil laugh.
