Choker necklace, flight jacket, and striped shirt
Although individually those are all popular among women after IU wore those items together on Infinite Challenge, many celebrities as well as online shopping malls imitated this style.
Collared dress with double ponytails from “You and
Around half the Korean female population probably had this in their wardrobe after the MV came out. It was also hard to find shopping malls that didn’t sell collared dresses.
Bob cut
Although this one maybe arguable after IU cut her hair short the number of people with such haircuts on the street noticeably went up and many girls uploaded on SNS that they imitated IU’s hairstyle.
