The intended styling choice seemed to aim for a "chic balance" by using the jumper to tone down the revealing nature of the outfit. However, due to the strong presence of the slip dress, the look ended up being interpreted not as "effortlessly stylish" but rather as someone who just threw on a jumper over their underwear, an ambiguous and ineffective in-between. The public is growing increasingly weary of extreme, no-middle-ground revealing fashion. Online commenters reacted with remarks like, “I thought it looked like pajamas, turns out it actually is,” “How can someone walk around outside in underwear?” and “If this is what the fashion world is about, I’ll never understand it.”
This isn’t Moon Kayoung’s first time showing her love for lingerie-inspired looks. She’s previously worn a sheer white outfit that fully exposed her undergarments, a see-through dress that essentially served as full-body lingerie, and a lace corset dress that left little to the imagination. The locations may have changed, but the theme of lingerie and revealing fashion has remained consistent. Her latest airport look is seen as a continuation of this trend, bringing past photos back into the spotlight.
It’s worth noting that one doesn’t have to resort to revealing clothing to stand out. Moon Layoung’s unique, urban elegance is a strong asset in itself. It leaves some wondering: rather than leaning on lingerie-inspired styling, wouldn’t it be more compelling for her to showcase her own distinctive charm?
