Jennie Kim of BLACKPINK is no stranger to a statement-making fashion moment. Whether she's walking the red carpet or casually sharing snaps of her off-duty outfits, the K-pop star is a clear pro at effortlessly starting a new fashion trend. (Remember when the COS quilted bags were flying off the shelves because of her?)
Another case in point: Just over the past week, Jennie's latest sartorial moment has captured the hearts of style enthusiasts once again. During a surprise appearance at singer Zico's concert, the 28-year-old singer walked up the stage clad in a cropped leather jacket and a checked maxi skirt. While the collab in itself was a treat for fans, Jennie's outfit—particularly her skirt—was quite the conversation piece too, effectively igniting a new style-savvy trend on the internet.

The skirt in question wasn’t your usual off-the-rack piece. Instead, it was a clever reimagining of two checked button-down shirts buttoned together, which draped into a maxi silhouette. Jennie paired the DIY piece with her cropped leather jacket and black clogs with white crew socks, a seamless mix of grunge and laidback. The result? An outfit that was equal parts experimental and effortlessly cool.
As photos and videos from the concert made their way onto social media, Jennie’s inventive look quickly became a hot topic. Fans and fashion influencers alike were drawn by the DIY-inspired trend of transforming an everyday wardrobe staple into a statement piece. Naturally, within days, TikTok and Instagram were flooded with tutorials and recreations of the two-shirt maxi skirt.
How to Rock the Two-Shirt Maxi Skirt Trend, As Seen on Jennie Kim
Coming up with your own two-shirt maxi skirt is pretty simple. Start by choosing two button-down shirts—whether plain, printed, or mismatched, go with whatever suits your look for the day. Next, button the placket of one shirt halfway and overlap it with the other shirt’s unbuttoned edge. Fasten the remaining buttons to secure the two shirts together, ensuring they create a seamless wrap. Adjust the collars and sleeves for a natural, draped effect, letting them cascade for added dimension.
Once your skirt is formed, wrap it around your waist. You can also try securing it with a belt for added stability and definition, or try experimenting with the placement of the buttons or knots to create unique silhouettes.
