Look no further and read on as the global heartthrob cues you in on his style tips and top picks from this season’s “It Collection.”

Stay Polished in Preppy Chic

Looking for a polished, clean-cut look? Master the art of preppy fashion, like Lee Min Ho, by going for classic staples such as a navy sweater layered over a white or plaid button-down. Add contrast by choosing pastel chinos, and slip on your favorite sneakers. Tie it all in with key accessories such as leather bracelets and friendship bands. If you’re looking to make a hip statement, put on a bowtie or necktie to add a touch of dapper.

Pick your Pique Shirt

Pique shirts are an institution and will remain a menswear staple for years to come. Bench’s latest collection adds a twist to this classic tee by adding pops of color to collar, neckline, and sleeves. Marvel at how the right color combinations allow this lightweight tee to transition from active wear during the day to a perfect night out for fun rounds during the evening.

Wear Art

Share Lee Min Ho’s love for graphic tees with the latest designs from Bench. Whether you’re into checkered prints, statement tees, camo prints, or abstract illustrations, you can’t go wrong by picking creative wearable art that matches well with a pair of denim jeans and khaki pants. Be on the lookout for hybrid shirts, too. A mix of color blocks and sassy prints can score you style points that break the monotony of day-to-day casual wear.

Stripe it Up

Summer’s nautical horizontal stripes take a backseat as fall’s two-toned hybrid stripes dominate runways this season. This fun spin keeps your fashion ensembles fresh and complements colored skinnies that extend linear tones further. Go for leather loafers or sneakers that keep you looking fashionably low-key and accessorize with a garrison belt and a cool snapback.

Chambray’s Not Going Away

The chambray button-down isn’t leaving fashion town anytime soon. This season, it evolves into a stylish essential as it levels up with intricate prints that add sophistication and flair. Pair it with Lee Min Ho’s favorite Bench OJ skinnies in tan or khaki, and explore by trying some comfy slip-ons or espadrilles for a laid-back yet uptown look.

Fragrant Impressions

Perfume choice can be the icing that cements the impression your overall look leaves. Lee Min Ho recommends his Sure Blue and So in Love fragrances from the Bench Scents line. These long-lasting fresh scents are timeless. Use daily for an added boost of confidence.
