Black and white 'dress code'
K-Pop artists and fans alike tend to have an affinity for avant-garde fashion and accessories. This makes it a common scene for K-pop concert-goers to be dressed to the nines.
Some will buy replicas of outfits K-pop members have worn in their catalogue of music videos, and others may opt for repping the artists’ fan colours. As for TXT, some British fans have already shared online what they plan on wearing to the O2 arena.
Many will be wearing variations of light blue and white outfits, referencing the group’s brand colours when they first debuted in 2019. However, there’s an amusing debate amongst fans on what they actually should wear, thanks to TXT leader and member Soobin Choi.
On February 25 in a livestream posted to social media platform Weverse, the leader said he and the members have decided the dress code will be black and white. Not all hope is lost for those that have already picked their outfit, though, as Choi assured that fans should wear whatever they want and enjoy the show.
