Spring Fashion Trends 2026: Chaeryeong’s Must-Have Black Off-Shoulder Top and Ruffled Denim

Translation result.

Three editorial shots Chaeryeong posted to Instagram—captioned simply “the latest trend”—are causing a stir. Chaeryeong herself stamped this look as on-point, so Star Fashion breaks down piece by piece what’s actually trending right now.

Black Off-Shoulder Ruffle Top: Why This Silhouette Is Everywhere

The first thing that grabs your eye in this look is the black off-shoulder slim top. The ruffle gathering that runs from the neckline to the shoulder frames the shoulders and décolletage in a way that’s feminine and polished without feeling over-the-top. The slim, body-skimming fit defines the waist, while the ruffle adds a subtle, graceful finish so the look stays elegant rather than flashy.

The real kicker is the slightly slipped-off-shoulder construction, which creates an asymmetrical shoulder line and a natural visual tension. The black hue makes the skin pop, and paired with tousled hair and barely-there makeup, the result is cool, chic, and effortlessly modern.

Ruffle Waistband Barrel Denim: This Is the Trend

The standout item Chaeryeong herself labeled “trend” is the bottom half: mid-blue washed denim with a twist. Unlike regular wide-leg jeans, these have a voluminous cream-white ruffle gathering attached to the waistband, so soft cream ruffles gently spill over the top of the denim. The black top, cream ruffle band, and blue denim stack into a seamless three-tone layer—that’s the look’s signature detail. The jeans themselves are a barrel silhouette that widens from the thigh, and a Y-shaped stitched panel on the front gives them a sculptural edge that feels far more fashion-forward than plain wide denim. One pair of pants like this can elevate a casual outfit into something much more editorial.

Slim Oval Glasses: The Outfit’s Defining Touch

One recurring accessory across all three shots is a pair of slim oval glasses in a dark brown frame. They’re thin metal frames with oval lenses—one of the buzziest eyewear styles in fashion right now. Those glasses add an arty dimension to the otherwise simple black-top-and-denim combo. Even if you don’t normally wear glasses, keeping a slim oval pair on hand can instantly shift the vibe of an outfit. Chaeryeong’s hair is styled in a loose side braid, which pairs with the glasses to amplify the look’s artful energy.

Chaeryeong herself called this combo “the trend”: a slim black top, ruffle-waistband barrel denim, and slim glasses make for one of the season’s most forward looks. Give it a try this spring.
