[GET THE K-POP LOOK] EXO - 'Wolf'.

EXO finally made their long-awaited comeback late last month after about a year away with the very wild track ‘Wolf’. As expected, the boys have dominated the charts with this latest single, showing a very dark and almost tribal concept. EXO’s fashion is always interesting, and this music video shows off an innovative, yet rather understated style.

Want to see if you can mimic this look on the British high street? Look no further!

 



One of EXO’s trademark fashion items is hareem trousers, whilst their past concepts have featured some quite extravagant versions with crazy patterns and shiny patches, the trousers for this particular concept are very plain. Black hareems (of even black skinny jeans if you are not a fan of the Arabian style) make a great wardrobe staple as you can pair them with almost anything.

One of the focal points of the look is the white socks with black striping. The EXO boys layer these on the outside of their trousers or even pair with quarter length shorts, topping it off with black or white bandanas. This is a very brave style and you may not want to go this far for your daily look, but even if you leave the socks and instead tie a bandana around your wrist or through a belt loop, you will still gain that EXO flavour.

This entire look is very plain, with the detail being taken by the accessories that accompany the outfits, so take this as an opportunity to go wild with your jewellery. The members tend to go with chunky gold, spiked or tasselled pieces to achieve their untamed feel. Remember to keep your details as tribal as possible, Aztec patterns are a perfect fit with this look.

EXO’s concept is (thankfully) not as over-the-top as it could have been, but this look definitely gives a very wild theme. Also, as with EXO’s past concepts, the idea of being part of the earth and controlled by the elements is powerful here. If you keep that in mind whilst constructing the look for yourself, you can’t go far wrong!

Go and embrace your inner Wolf! Awooooo!
