Revealed through the social media of broadcaster Kim Na-young—often called the entertainment world’s fashion compass—her daily looks show just how polished and dimensional a Black & White pairing can be, even in summer when it can easily feel a bit monotonous.

#All-black with a twist: ‘city chic’ finished off with sunglasses and a bag

Kim Na-young’s first styling formula is pared-back minimalism. In her mirror selfie, she presents an all-black look, pairing a slim black slip top with lightweight cropped black pants.

What adds edge to this outfit is a smart accessory mix. A belt with a silver buckle creates a subtle textural shift at the waist, while classic loafers add a touch of weight to the airy top. In particular, the black woven tote bag and sunglasses—both with a light feel—serve as the cheat code that completes her signature trendy, chic city-girl mood.

#A fluid silhouette hidden within crisp white freshness

In another cut, she completes a perfect “white mood” summer look. An oversized white T-shirt paired with white bottoms creates an airy yet comfortable vibe.

The key to this outfit is the black cardigan casually tied around the waist. It draws a clear line and point of contrast against an all-white tone-on-tone look that could otherwise appear bulky, creating perfectly balanced proportions. A soft-textured white shoulder bag and a minimalist gold watch elevate the classic mood.

#A bold red hit as the finishing touch to a sporty mood

The most witty look is an all-black sporty styling that works just as well for loungewear or a light running outfit. She pairs a body-hugging black short-sleeve top with micro shorts to show off a slim silhouette.

To keep the athleisure look from feeling too plain, she adds a headband to highlight a clean face line, then delivers a powerful punch with vivid red socks that rise above the ankles. A single pair of vivid-colored socks set against a black canvas instantly turns the entire outfit into a hip, stylish street look.

What makes Kim Na-young’s black-and-white looks feel special is that, without flashy prints or complicated details, she creates a stylish mood simply through fit and the right mix of accessories like sunglasses and socks. If you have black and white pieces sitting unused in your closet this summer, take a cue from Kim Na-young’s balance formula and create your own chic, stylish summer look..
