Style Guide: Kim Myung-Soo and Fossil

Kim Myung-Soo (L) highlights a selection of his favourite Fossil pieces, bringing his modern, understated style to everyday essentials.

For longtime fans of Kim Myung-Soo (or simply L) part of the appeal has always been how effortless he makes everything look. Even off-stage, his style carries that same polished energy fans have loved from his INFINITE days to his acting roles. From clean silhouettes, understated accessories, and pieces that feel cool without looking overdone. For anyone who’s ever looked at a photo of Kim Myung-Soo and thought “I need that look,” Fossil’s latest selection feels like the easiest place to start.

The Everett Chronograph Stainless Steel Watch carries that same balance he naturally embodies. Sleek, understated, but still striking enough to catch your eye. With its soft blue dial and sporty finish, it feels like the kind of piece you’d spot during an airport appearance or a casual off-duty photo fans would immediately save to their camera roll.

Alongside it, the Machine Knurled Texture Dog Tag Necklace adds a slightly rugged edge that taps into his quieter, more masculine look. Nothing overly styled or excessive — just enough detail to make a simple outfit feel intentional in that very Kim Myung-Soo way.

The unique side of his style comes through with Fossil’s Watch Ring Two-Hand Stainless Steel and Raquel Watch Ring. Small statement pieces like these feel fitting for someone whose style has never relied on being loud to leave an impression. Instead, it’s always been about those subtle details fans notice instantly.

Then comes the Machine Big Tic Leather Watch, revived from Fossil’s late ‘90s and early 2000s archive. There’s something about the nostalgic design that naturally aligns with Kim Myung-Soo himself. Timeless, familiar, and still impossible to look away from years later.

Tapping into Kim Myung-Soo’s vintage fashion sense. The Danni Leather Crossbody Bag and Dillon Leather Shoulder Bag speak to versatility and maturity — pieces designed for movement, purpose, and everyday sophistication. Jewelry like the Machine Rugged Leather Bracelet and Ellis Two-Tone Bracelet further reinforce expression of his personal style, where accessories become markers of individuality.

Curating only the best for Kim Myung-Soo, Fossil offers all the finishing touches needed to channel his off-duty style, making it the ultimate guide for anyone wanting to recreate the same effortlessly polished look he makes seem so easy.
