Korean Actress Ko So-young Shares Fashion Tips and Sustainable Style Choices

Korean actress Ko So-young recently showcased her unique sense of thriftiness.

On October 10, Ko So-young's YouTube channel featured a video titled 'Sister So-young's Fall Fashion Advice (Exclusive Styling Tips)'.

In the video, Ko So-young caught attention by appearing with an orange shopping bag, a symbol of luxury brand Hermes. Known as a 'building owner worth 40 billion won', she impressed viewers by generously gifting Hermes to a staff member expecting a child.

Before diving into fashion trends, Ko So-young shared, "When I go shopping, I wear a white tee and jeans. It goes well with anything."

While walking, she came across a Kylie Jenner advertisement and humorously remarked, "Lucky her, having Timothée as a boyfriend." When a staff member mentioned her famous husband, Jang Dong-gun, she playfully responded, "That's different."

Visiting a luxury store, Ko So-young candidly noted, "It's been a while since I came here. Prices were reasonable 15 years ago, but now the brand's status has elevated."

Ko So-young expressed surprise at the trend of wearing cheap clothes once and discarding them, noting, "I heard our country ranks fifth in the world for clothing waste. Don't throw away clothes; you can always repurpose them."

Ko So-young, who practices upcycling, shared, "If you want to shorten a long garment, just get some scissors and cut it. I also do refashioning. Outdated items become shorts. Even non-designer clothes are well-made these days. I prefer investing in quality shoes and bags."

She added, "Casual fashion seems to be more in trend than formal dress-up. I often layer my outfits." Transforming into 'Godrey Hepburn' with a unique hat, she humorously revealed she bought it two weeks later, asking, "Isn't it nice?"

Additionally, Ko So-young shared her current preference for men's clothing, saying, "I buy oversized or bomber jackets from the men's section. They're cheaper."
