[ASKKPOP] Style Breakdown: INFINITE-H's "Special Girl"

Those of you who follow me over on Twitter might have noticed that this post came with a few technical difficulties- namely, that I'd just finished getting all the screencaps for this article and was about to start combining them when my computer freaked out and ate all my work... sigh. An important remember, kids - save as you go!

Anyway, now that little trial and tribulation is over with, we have some fashion to discuss!INFINITE-His finally here, and they gave us a LOT to talk about!



Dongwoodefinitely got the flashier outfits in this group- I'm sure Inspirits aren't surprised- and he's just kind of Mr. Sunshine throughout the whole video with lots of bright colors and funky jewelry. His stylists did a great job matching all the yellows in this outfit, which isn't always easy to do!

[Gold bat earring: Magic Metal Jewelry, ~40 USD | Shirt: Givenchy, 475 USD | Heart pins: KTZ, sold out | Pants: Unbounded Awe, ~85 USD | Shoes: Frapbois x New Balance, not yet available | Safety pin earring: Conroy & Wilcox, 285 USD (not sure if this is the exact earring or not, but it looks right)]

WhileHoya's outfits may be darker, they're definitely not less interesting. We've got some wild, clashing patterns here between the shirt and the pants, which he tries to balance with a dark jacket.

[Pants: KTZ, ~623 USD (sold out) | Shirt: Horace, ~141 USD (sold out) | Red pin: KTZ, ~65 USD | Blue pin: KTZ, no longer available | Jacket: Horace, ~947 USD | Shoes: Nike Air Jordan (not exact, but similar), ~76 USD]

When this scene started, I thought maybe Hoya had gotten lost onSuper Junior's "SPY" set, but he was actually just filming a drama. His verse is all about how he becomes "like an actor" around this special girl, who just so happens to be his co-star. You really can't go wrong with a nice-fitting suit like this.



Hoya goes on to explain that he doesn't understand why he freezes up around this girl- after all his 'hairstyle is always better than other guys'' and his new shirt is the exact color of the sky. It may sound silly, but it really can help you feel more confident in life if you feel confident in how you look. Of course, it doesn't quite work out for Hoya, who hangs up the phone before he can actually confess.

[Boots: Doc Marten, ~104 USD]

Hoya continues to keep things simple with a printed shirt and orange pants.

[Shirt: Givenchy, 360 USD | Pants: Balmain, ~565 USD (orange color not available) | Boots: Doc Marten, ~104 USD | Belt: Balmain, sold out]

So now we have Dongwoo's verse, where he talks about having a crush on his co-worker, whom he wishes he could see on weekends instead of just weekdays. He may be wearing the same suit Hoya wore earlier, but the styling is quite different as Dongwoo likes to wear more jewelry than Hoya (and, well, more than almost anyone actually). It's kind of amusing that he and Hoya have the same work uniform in this video.

[Wing earring: Rings and Tings, ~7 USD- worn with this earring piece in back (black unavailable), ~6 USD]

To contrast with his workweek look, we have Dongwoo's rather colorful weekend look. It makes him stand out against the other guys in black suits, but it doesn't save him from the embarrassment of forgetting what he was going to say when he saw his crush!

[Jacket: Joyrich, ~339 USD | Shirt: Givenchy, sold out | Pants/apron: KTZ, ~362 USD (on sale) | Hat: House of Holland, sold out | Wing earring: Rings and Tings, ~7 USD- worn with this earring piece in back (black unavailable), ~6 USD]

I found Hoya's outfit here a little strange- the shirt is really unflattering on him, and I'm not a fan of the gloves. Also, why is he a "Holy War Commander"?

[Gloves: KTZ, 198 USD (on sale)]

Ahh, more of Dongwoo in his piles and piles of accessories. He does some interesting makeup looks in this video, using blue and purple instead of just black or brown eyeliner, which I haven't seen many K-Pop guys trying out.

[Pants: Cheap Monday, out of stock] | Hat: Yzstyle, ~19 USD (it may be this hat, decorated by the stylists. The little "ears" are shaped exactly the same. I'm not 100% sure.) | Boots: appear to be Doc Marten 8-hole boots in red, unavailable online | Pile of skulls patch: Rude Dog Leather, 4$ USD | Goju patch (similar, not exact): Kungfu4less, 3 USD (on sale) | Star ring: Love 'n Dung, ~11 USD | Wing earring: Rings and Tings, ~7 USD- worn with this earring piece in back (black unavailable), ~6 USD | Sex Pistols patch: ~4 USD]

And now he's... hugging his invisible girlfriend? I'm not super into the crimped bangs here- they kind of remind me ofBang Yong Guk's fried purple hair during "Power" promotions, and that's not something anyone wants to remember.

[Pants: Horace, ~308 USD | Cape: Leopard, ~315 USD (on sale) | Skeleton hand bracelet (you can see it better in this teaser): Wacky Werewolf, ~13 USD | Star ring: Love 'n Dung, ~11 USD | Wing earring: Rings and Tings, ~7 USD- worn with this earring piece in back (black unavailable), ~6 USD]

Aww, poor Hoya's got an invisible girlfriend, too. This is the same outfit he wore earlier in the apartment, but with a jacket thrown over it. Strangely, even though he hasn't changed clothes, she's changed from a sweater dress to a sweater and red pants.

[Shirt: Givenchy, 360 USD | Jacket: General Idea, ~654 USD | Pants: Balmain, ~565 USD (orange color not available) | Boots: Doc Marten, ~104 USD | Belt: Balmain, sold out]

More bright colors from Dongwoo.

[Sweater: Ilode, not available online | Shoes: Frapbois x New Balance, not yet available | Star ring: Love 'n Dung, ~11 USD | Wing earring: Rings and Tings, ~7 USD- worn with this earring piece in back (black unavailable), ~6 USD |

And a few bright colors from Hoya as well.

[Shoes: Nike Air Jordan (not exact, but similar), ~76 USD | Sweater: Ilode, not available online]

Dongwoo's bringing fanny packs back in fashion! Some of you may cringe, but we've seen them onHello VenusandGirls' Generation, too, so don't be too surprised if you start seeing them more and more...

[Shirt: Givenchy, 475 USD | Fannypack: KTZ, sold out | Wing earring: Rings and Tings, ~7 USD- worn with this earring piece in back (black unavailable), ~6 USD ]

This time it's Hoya matching a difficult color- the red in his hat, shirt, and shoes all go together well. Reds are notoriously difficult to match, so kudos to his stylists.

[Hat: Dee & Ricky x Joyrich: ~93 USD | Shirt: Givenchy, ~167 USD (on sale)]

Dongwoo, you have Pegasus on your shirt. I feel like you're coming dangerously close to challengingKey's king-of-the-fashionistas status.

[Wing earring: Rings and Tings, ~7 USD- worn with this earring piece in back (black unavailable), ~6 USD | Sweater: MSGM, not currently available (similar tee shirt here for 79 USD, on sale]

Hoya's not big on accessories for the most part in this video, so I was surprised to see him go for a patterned shirt, patterned pants, a necklace, glittery sunglasses, two bracelets, AND a decorated glove all in one outfit for this scene.

Dongwoo, on the other hand, is all about the accessories. Here he shows how a person can pull of just about any outfit- even an all-over galaxy print tracksuit and neon dragon scarf- with enough confidence.

[Scarf: Jeremy Scott, ~550 USD | Star ring: Love 'n Dung, ~11 USD | Wing earring: Rings and Tings, ~7 USD- worn with this earring piece in back (black unavailable), ~6 USD]

Hoya does a print for the winter scenes as well, but he goes for a more traditional paisley, and sticks to a patterend blazer with solid-colored pants, which is probably a little closer to what any of us would wear in real life than Dongwoo's outfit.

[Belt: Balmain, sold out]

You would think it'd be easy to track down blue, sequined, cheetah-print skinny jeans, but it turns out that there are a lot more of these pants out there than you would expect! I find it funny that when Hoya imagined his date with this girl that she picked out this KYE shirt for him, while Dongwoo wore it in his imaginary date. Matching work suits, matching imaginary shirts, identical crushes... seems the guys of INFINITE-H have a lot in common!

[Shirt: KYE, 125 USD (on sale)]

This actress is so adorable, and had some great outfits in this video! My personal favorite was the red coat with the black dress, though the shoes she wore in the spy scene were pretty great, too. Also, can we talk about the fact that her entire job in this video was to stand around looking cute while Hoya and Dongwoo told her how awesome she was? Not a bad gig at all!



And lastly, we havePrimary. I want to talk about him for two reasons:

1. How cool is it that INFINITE-H got to work with Primary,Bumkey,Beenzino,Zion.T,Dynamic Duo, and other big names in Korean hip hop on this album? Between havingSunggyuwork withNelland now INFINITE-H's collaborations, it seems likeWoollim Entertainmentreally wants to make INFINITE stand out in the sea of idols.

2. He took off his box. AND HE WAS WEARING SUNGLASSES UNDERNEATH. My brain cannot handle the impracticality of it all.

So, what was your favorite look in this video? Do you like Dongwoo and Hoya's new looks? Let us know in the comments!
