The highly-watched K-drama Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha released its final episode on October 17. After watching the rom-com series, one of the things that we miss dearly (besides the chemistry between Kim Seon-ho and Shin Min-A) is Shin Min-A's stylish wardrobe in the rom-com series. The South Korean actress plays a dentist who moved from Seoul to a village to open her clinic.

Her on-duty clothes are run-of-the-mill, consisting of medical scrubs and a lab coat. So it's obviously her off-duty style that caught our attention. From monochrome get-ups and tonal ensembles to colour block outfits and floral frocks, the stylish dentist left a lasting impression with her choice of clothes.

Our favourite part of it all is that the majority of her outfits feature wardrobe staples. Some examples are: classic white shirts, striped shirts and wide leg pants. This means that the clothes have longevity in terms of style, and are able to see her through many years to come. That's especially important for those who wish to be more conscious of our shopping habits while building a more sustainable wardrobe.

Ahead, find out how you can achieve Min-A's stylish looks with the help of a few key wardrobe essentials.

A classic white shirt

Not just any white shirt. Follow Min-A's trendsetting footsteps and go for an oversized fit. Then, play with proportions by balancing it with slim-fit shorts for weekends or trousers for an office-ready get-up.

A nude turtleneck top

We love our T-shirts but sometimes, we just wished they'd look more well, polished. That's when a high-neck top comes in. It makes you look more spiffy and less sloppy, making it one of the office wardrobe staples worth investing in.

Striped shirts are one of our beloved wardrobe staples because of how versatile they are. Opt for a more feminine design by reaching for a pink version.

A pair of bold red pants

7/10

The all-eyes-on-me hue is impossible to miss -- it commands attention wherever you go. Plus, it adds a mood-lifting effect to any outfit. Team it with a white T-shirt whenever it's feeling like a sauna outside, and switch to a contrasting collar shirt to experiment with the colour-blocking trend.

A floral frock

A floral dress is a truly timeless piece. Min-A's bright yellow design above radiates positivity and gives its wearer a blissful glow — you wouldn't mind that, right?
