SCoups' Met Gala look and why I love it: A ramble

[Transferring this over from my own Reddit post, I'm not plagiarising!]

So I've been thinking about Cheol's Met Gala look all day and I'm currently avoiding my actual academic commitments, so I'm inflicting my semi-rambling thoughts on all of you. My credentials: a minor background in fashion history, a longtime judger of Met Gala appearances, and the caffeine-fuelled confidence of a grad student who's built an academic career on yapping well enough to convince smarter people than me I know what I'm talking about.

Some background on the Met Gala and its theme for people who don't treat this event like film buffs treat the Oscars: the Met Gala is a charity event that provides most of the funding for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, since it doesn't receive the same funding that the rest of the Museum does because clothing history still isn't treated as a serious field (a personal gripe I'm not going to go on a tangent about I promise). It's always held on the first Monday of May, organised by Vogue, and follows a theme related to the exhibition hosted by the Costume Institute that year. This year's exhibition is "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," which follows the development of black dandyism as a distinct men's style which responded to and often reappropriate European symbols of power and status to define a unique culture for the African diaspora in the US from the 17th century to the present. The theme for the Gala this year is more broad, "Tailored for You," but the expectation was that the attendees would incorporate elements of black dandyism or dandyism as it pertained to their own cultures.

So, how did Cheol do? Fucking spectacularly, if I'm anyone to judge. I haven't found a single best-dressed list that features him yet, which is an absolute CRIME, because I love his look so much. If this was any other year, he'd easily be my favourite of the men's looks, but this was the one year that men decided to actually DRESS instead of just wearing clothes (some dudes still did that, but it was much less of an issue than usual). This was his first official outing as a global ambassador for Boss (which is literally a perfect brand for Seventeen's own boss to represent, oh my god), and holy shit did they not disappoint. His look was custom made and inspired by Korean jeogori, the upper garment of the hanbok - the cut of his jacket is clearly designed after it with the overlapping lapels, and the overcoat gives the look the volume and silhouette associated with the hanbok. I just love that Boss gave him a look that incorporated traditional Korean elements and allowed him to represent his culture without making a costume of it - he's the first Kpop idol I know of to actually wear something Korean-inspired to the Met Gala, but I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of every idol to ever attend so that might not be the case. [EDIT: I was in fact wrong about this, a commenter pointed me to CL, who wore a denim jeogori-inspired look for the 2021 Met Gala. I still think Seungcheol did it better, but shout out to CL for blending the jeogori with the denim to fit that year's theme]

His look also perfectly blends elements of western-style tailoring to meet the theme: the pieces all look to be made from traditional suiting wools (I can't be sure of this but I've been looking at a LOT of photos and videos lol, so that's my educated guess), associated with luxurious menswear of the late 19th and early 20th century in Europe and the US when black dandyism was really coming into its own and still pulls a lot of inspiration from today, and what I initially thought was pinstriping on the lapels and inner lining of the overcoat is actually some incredibly precise pleating, and the sewist responsible for those deserves a fucking award, because that is unbelievably labour-intensive to gather, pin, and stitch into place. [ANOTHER EDIT: A commenter on my original Reddit post pointed out that I totally forgot to mention that the silhouette is also very reminiscent of the zoot suit, an absolute staple of black dandyism that originated out of the 1920s Chitlin' Circuit]

Another nod to the attention to detail: I love that they matched his shoes to the suit - it makes him look taller by not cutting the line off with black shoes, which happens so much when men wear suits that aren't black and I hate it to a degree that is frankly unreasonable - AND Seungcheol dyed his hair to match the suit, which is a level of commitment to a bit I have to admire (it also looks SO GOOD on him silver Cheollie supremacy).

This doesn't mean I don't have some tiny, nit-picky criticisms, but you've all got to promise not to hold them against me since they don't relate to Seungcheol in the slightest. First: I wish they'd taken more a risk with the colour. I'm a maximalist who hates grey at heart and I refuse to apologise for this, especially when black dandyism AND traditional hanbok give so much potential for fun colours. Second, and this is an actual criticism that isn't just my personal tastes showing through: the inner lining of his overcoat isn't finished and you can see the raw threads dangling in high-res photos, and this enrages me. In fairness, pleated fabric is a bitch and a half to hem, and I get the feeling the lining was deliberately left unattached to the outer fabric so it can move and have the craftsmanship shown off better, but it still annoys me because it does just look a little sloppy.

Overall though, a solid 9.5 out of 10 and by FAR my favourite look worn by a K-pop idol for ANY Met Gala (sorry to Johnny of NCT, who had the top spot from his appearance in 2022, you've been dethroned).

[A final notes I didn't think of until now: I LOVE that every photo I've seen of him at the Gala has the Seventeen ring front and centre, that's my codependent teenies!]
