  "account": "K-drama and BTS fashion trends are making waves in the UAE this season. The influence of Korean entertainment is so powerful that fashion editors and influencers are incorporating elements of K-drama wardrobes, K-pop styling, beauty trends, and celebrity fashion into their own personal styles.\n\nWhile the weather in the UAE during autumn is not as crisp as in Seoul, there are still ways to achieve the look. The key is to focus on sharp tailoring, earthy colors, oversized shirts, perfectly thrown-on jackets, fine knits, and dramatic accessories. These elements can be achieved with breathable fabrics and lighter materials, as the UAE climate is more forgiving in the later months.\n\nOne approach is to take inspiration from Hyun Bin's tailored looks in Made in Korea.

This look is perfect for those who want to maintain a polished appearance without adding bulk to their outfit.\n\nFinally, the BTS-inspired approach focuses on making one statement piece do the talking. An oversized denim jacket with a fitted tank and wide-leg trousers or a sculptural leather-look jacket with a simple T-shirt and relaxed trousers can create a bold statement. For daytime, lighter coated fabrics or faux-leather pieces can be used to keep the outfit breathable.",
  "summary": "In a K-drama, a coat is rarely just a coat. A hairstyle is rarely just a hairstyle. Put the right character in the right outfit, give them the right hair, and suddenly you know something about them before they have said a word. Hark back to Lee Min-ho's Gu Jun-pyo in Boys Over Flowers . The fur-trimmed coats, perfectly styled curls and unapologetically wealthy wardrobe were practically part of…",
