Jeon Somi’s Gen Z Y2K streetwear: 9 looks that set the trend

Never underestimate the power of one delicate accessory. Somi’s oversized black-and-white leather racing jacket, emblazoned with red typography, is heavy-duty streetwear at its most cinematic. A dainty yellow wavy hair clip and sleek, futuristic sunglasses complete the look, puncturing masculine aggression with a sweetly incongruous feminine detail. The contrast is entirely intentional—and entirely Somi.

Maximalism is a philosophy, not just an aesthetic. A massive, fluffy brown fur trapper hat anchors the bottom half of competing dark floral prints: a floral skirt layered over floral-printed tights, finished with chunky black boots. The result is a head-to-toe pattern clash that somehow achieves complete, studied harmony. Only Somi could make chaos look this considered.

Everything about this look screams early 2000s pop-star nostalgia. A sheer, ruched brown polka-dot overlay swept over one shoulder is layered above a matching brown bandeau, grounded by straight-leg jeans and a leopard-print shoulder bag. The unapologetically retro combination channels the carefree, sun-drenched energy of peak Y2K pop stardom.

Old money meets Y2K irony. A conservative navy short-sleeved shirt with white collar trim by Prada is paired with sheer tights and classic black Prada triangle-logo loafers—all worn casually while sitting on the grass. This is Jeon Somi’s quiet masterclass in making collegiate dressing feel genuinely effortless without trying.

This is the look that announces a fashion-week arrival. An oversized, tailored black blazer dress with exaggerated, sculptural hip volume is paired with sheer black tights, dramatic over-the-knee stiletto boots and dark sunglasses. Her sleek, slicked-back blonde hair sharpens the severe silhouette further. It’s Matrix-era power dressing, thoroughly updated for the modern luxury streetscape.

Even a casual lounge moment becomes a colour theory lesson in Somi’s world. A bright red collared shirt layered over a black top and a purple mini skirt delivers bold primary and secondary colour-blocking at its most playful. A sleek black Prada shoulder bag and pointed kitten heels ground the whole look with signature luxury ease.

If a summer holiday had a dress code, it would look exactly like this. A strapless white dress adorned with vibrant red, pink and yellow roses radiates breezy joy. The true standout, however, is Somi’s beauty: platinum blonde waves and skin glowing with the high-impact luminosity that her own make-up brand, GLYF, is celebrated for.

Jeon Somi’s event wardrobe belongs in its own genre. A black leather-like blazer and vest are accessorised with a studded geometric bag and extraordinary cascading silver crystal chandelier earrings. Bathed in red light, the entire look channels a darker, more intense pop-star energy—with sharp, captivating eye make-up to match.
