Sunshine, J-Hope, Hobi. These are only a few of the nicknames used to describe BTS’ main dancer and rapper, J-Hope. J-Hope has a vibrant and multi-faceted personality and his style reflects that. A style that is bold, eye-catching, and at times unexpected. Many take note of what he is wearing as he is a trendsetter, one of the more fashion-forward members of BTS who takes great pride in dressing well and showing fans new and unexpected looks. J-Hope began his entertainment career as a street dancer and much of his personal style still reflects this part of his past. He gravitates towards modern streetwear brands that have a loose baggy fit, allowing him to move freely while still looking effortlessly cool. In a recent V LIVE, he mentioned that comfortable and practical clothes are important, especially during schedules when he must travel on planes or in cars for extended periods of time. Some examples that showcase his hip-hop dancer aesthetic are pieces from brands such as Off-White, Supreme, and Yeezy. While J-Hope frequently wears hypebeast fashion brands, he also does not shy away from wearing ritzy designer labels. His presentation has as much duality as his personality. There are countless examples of him being outfitted in high-end fashion houses from Gucci to Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent to Versace. For award shows J-Hope has frequently walked down the red carpet decked out in head-to-toe Gucci. Understanding the lines of his body as only a dancer can, he tends to opt for a more slim-cut outline when wearing these brands. J-Hope’s clothing choices are impossible to look away from but it’s his choice of accessories that truly define his style and make him stand out. He has a large collection of hats, handbags, and shoes ranging from fast-fashion to luxury designer brands. 24
