When winter comes, knitted fabrics, velvet, along with sturdy materials, create a warm and cozy feeling, with more layers added to his daily outfits. Stylish combinations with trench coats, turtleneck sweaters, and tailored blazers paired with dress pants also help him accentuate his well-proportioned figure. Moreover, accessories like sunglasses and a diverse collection of hats, from baseball caps to berets, are mixed and matched by the actor for his daily outfits.

This also contributes to Karina being dubbed the “universal makeup layout girl.”
