Former rhythmic gymnastics national team member Son Yeon-jae neatly pulled off a divisive trendy pair of pants, drawing attention.
On the 23rd, Son Yeon-jae posted several photos to her social account. She sat on a stool wearing a puff white blouse that evoked the elegant line of a dress, casually looking at her phone. The crossed-leg sitting line was not clearly visible, but in photos of her walking there was a twist.
It was because what Son Yeon-jae was wearing was a "capri pants." Known as a style from the 1990s where the thigh line is snug and the length falls just below the knee, blatantly revealing the calf line and proportions, it skipped nearly 30 years and has recently come back into fashion. However, following wide pants and then boot-cut as the trend, opinions on capri pants were divided as "tacky," "only for when you were young," and "okay if worn well."
Son Yeon-jae pulled off the capri pants with a simple white-and-black look. The simple charm she conveyed turned even those who found capri pants puzzling into curious onlookers.
Internet users could not hide their surprise, saying things like "I never even looked because those pants always seemed tacky—was it the styling?" and "Even the ripped back part feels so retro; why is it okay?"
Meanwhile, Son Yeon-jae married a financier nine years her senior in 2022 and gave birth to a son in 2024.
