To create a youthful preppy look, start with a checkered mini skirt. Whether it is plaid, tartan, houndstooth or Prince of Wales checks, these stylish numbers aren’t difficult to find. Seen here we have included earthy-toned Zara Check Mini Skirt, $69.90, red Pull & Bear Houndstooth Skort, $45.90 and the black and white Asos Design Box Pleat Mini Skirt In Check Print, $40.99. Opt for a high-waisted design to help cinch your waist and create longer-looking legs.

Now that you’ve gotten your checkered skirt, it’s now time to recreate Jisoo’s look with a neutral coloured knitted sweater. Paired with a white shirt and tie underneath, the overall look makes you feel as though you’re back in your schooling days. We recommend Uniqlo’s latest collaboration with Inès de La Fressange Cashmere Crew Neck Sweater, $129.90 in grey and the brand’s beige cashmere sweater from the Fall/Winter collection. Both are crew neck designs, so you can wear them without a tie or follow Jisoo’s heed with a shirt and tie.

If knitted sweaters sound too hot and suffocating, why not try learning from HyunA and swap it for a vest? Finish the look with a pair of high socks complete with a checkered pattern and a pair of leather shoes such as brogues, loafers and Mary Janes. We chose Zara Knit Cropped Waistcoat, $59.90 (also available in white) and an H&M 2-pack High-shaft Socks, $16.95 from their collaboration with Kangol.

Alternatively, you can pick up a pair of a solid colour pleated skirt and combine with matching suit pieces to create a school uniform-like outfit. A colour like black or grey would be easier to pair with existing blazers in your wardrobe. Pictured above is the Asos Design Pleated Mini Skirt In Black, $25.99.

If you’re on the hunt for a preppy blazer, consider American label Thom Browne. But for a more wallet-friendly alternative that’s equally versatile, try this Uniqlo Wool Blend Jacket, $129.90 created with Inès de La Fressange. Finish the look with the Faux Leather Casquette, $19.90 from the same collection.
