In the last couple of years, Acubi fashion has gone from a niche look to one of the hottest styles coming out of Korea. Riding on the wave of Y2K’s comeback, Acubi brings its own twist: minimal, edgy, and effortlessly wearable. But what exactly is Acubi style, and how do you nail the look? Let’s break it down.
Acubi fashion is believed to have started in Korea, taking its name from the brand Acubi Club. In simple terms, it’s all about casual vibes, minimalist pieces, and subversive basics.
Mix Y2K and cyber fairy grunge, throw in unconventional cuts and cool, muted tones, and you get Acubi. Think:
- Form-fitting tops
- Oversized pants
- Mini skirts with high socks
- Distressed details and unexpected layers
It’s a little more rebellious than typical Y2K, swapping neon colors for muted greys, blacks, and earthy shades, often with daring cut-outs or layered textures.
Ready to build your Acubi-inspired wardrobe? Here’s everything you need.
Strappy Tank tops
Tiny tanks with thin straps are a classic Acubi staple. They look even more on-theme when styled under asymmetrical tops or layered with sheer pieces, just like Asa.

Baby tees
Nothing says Y2K quite like a cropped baby tee. LE SSERAFIM members love pairing them with wide-leg jeans for a comfy yet edgy vibe.
Slim-fit long-sleeve tops
Long-sleeve tops that hug the figure are essential. Try them with baggy jeans or mini skirts for that sleek-on-top, loose-on-bottom silhouette. Just look at ILLIT and Winter, part elegant.
Baggy pants
From IVE’s Wonyoung to ITZY, baggy pants are everywhere. They add volume below the waist, highlight the upper body, and create two totally different moods depending on your choice of fabric—soft and girly or structured and bold.
Miniskirts
For days when you want to swap out your baggy pants, miniskirts are the perfect choice. Pair them with chunky shoes and knee-high socks for the ultimate Acubi ensemble. They’re playful, hip-hugging, and surprisingly versatile.
High socks and leg warmers
Elevate your skirt or short looks with knee-high socks or leg warmers. It’s a small detail that adds tons of personality and is a key element of the Acubi vibe.
Chunky bag
Nothing says off-duty K-idol like a big slouchy bag casually hanging off your shoulder. Take cues from Yuna and Seulgi, who style theirs with understated outfits for maximum cool.
