Stray Kids’ I.N is known for many things, from his unique vocals to the indescribable charm he gives to the group. And one of the many things we can always look forward to with I.N is his sense of style. From his Outfit of the Day posts on Instagram to his airport outfits to his not being afraid to try new, original looks, there have been eras that truly stand out as among the most iconic I.N. stylings. He always manages to embody and give even more life to each era with his styling – and here are our favorites!
‘Back Door’ (2020)
Years have passed, I.N has tried many different stylings, yet few have come close to being as impactful as his styling during ‘Back Door.’ Combine dark blue hair with modern hanboks and unique makeup that highlights his eyes, and you get history. Every styling for the stages was perfect. And later on, when his hair faded into the perfect pastel turquoise and ashy blue, we got some of the most aesthetic styles and outfits from him. This era also gave way to his Harley Quinn costume for Halloween, and for that, we’ll forever be grateful.
‘CASE 143’ (2022)
After the ‘Double Knot’ and ‘Levanter’ era, it was clear that I.N owned the pastel pink hair, and thankfully for us, we got him back during the ‘CASE 143‘ promotions. After dying his hair dark pink, it faded into the most perfect pastel pink, a color that fit the era perfectly, with its soft yet bold, lovely aura. Combined with impeccable styling and outfits throughout the era, every stage of ‘CASE 143‘ gave us iconic looks for I.N., including his cotton candy hair with pastel blue at the top and the detective outfit with glasses.
‘LALALALA’ (2023)
The ROCK-STAR era will go down in history for having some of the best concept photos and stylings of Stray Kids’ career. It also translated into their promotions and each performance. So many iconic looks and fancams have come out of this era, and one of them is, without a single doubt: I.N‘s blonde halo streak. It was one of the most memorable elements of the era – extra points when he had the perm.
‘Chk Chk Boom’ (2024)
We couldn’t possibly talk about I.N‘s best and most iconic looks without talking about ‘Chk Chk Boom.’ And this one is tricky because there are technically two looks he gave us this era – both equally as iconic. But let’s start with the one that can only be considered as his second natural hair color: ginger. I.N rocked the color even before the comeback with soft orange hair, and each second of it was magical. To the point that, when he dyed his hair orange again in 2025, he went viral once more. From the concept photos to the music video and all the content during the ATE era, we were all mesmerized by the styling. Lives were never the same.
‘GIANT’ (2024)
The ATE era was a long one, and by the end of it, I.N changed his hair and gave us a look that comes close to one of his best. This era embodied all of ‘Chk Chk Boom’ and ‘GIANT:’ I.N’s Oreo hair. It was so simple yet bold and unique. I.N‘s styling with black hair is just as impactful, and adding that extra touch of white highlights his stage presence in every single performance and piece of content. It was short-lived, but it will forever be one of the most unique and showstopping looks I.N. has ever had.
