Fans Express Discontent Over TXT’s Stylist Following Recent Stage Outfit Updates

TXT fans have taken to online forums to voice their disappointment in the group’s recent styling choices. Many longtime followers of the K-pop group feel that the quality and creativity of TXT’s stage outfits have noticeably dropped compared to previous comebacks.

Looking back at their past performances, TXT’s outfits were praised for their attention to detail, featuring colorful and vibrant combinations that stood out for being “interestingly stylish.” Fans recall how the group’s styling often brought a rich diversity of concepts that complemented their music and image well.

In contrast, fans argue that the group’s recent appearances have shifted toward a “monotonous” style. The outfits now often consist of loose-fitting pieces that don’t seem tailored to the members, lacking the previous fitting precision. What’s more, these newer looks have appeared at major award shows, making the lack of a clear concept even more notable to observers.

One fan summarized these thoughts with:

"The previous stylings were conceptual, rich in detail, and featured a wide variety of color combinations.
There were occasional misses, but overall, they were satisfying. However, recently, the outfits have received negative reactions due to their dull colors, careless fits and details, and a lack of any clear concept. They may not look outright bad, but they haven’t received any positive responses either. These include all the outfits from music shows, award ceremonies, and major festivals."

This change in perception hasn’t gone unnoticed, sparking a debate among fans. While a chunk of netizens agree that the current styling feels like a step down, others argue the newest outfits are actually an improvement. Still, many suggest the core issue might be a smaller budget for styling or what looks like a lack of effort in putting together the looks rather than the style itself.

Reactions from the community gathered online include:

"There’s definitely less effort now."
"They’ve been steadily getting worse…ㅠㅠ"
"Who said idols’ outfits get better as the years go by?ㅠㅠ"
"A t-shirt and jeans? That was too much."
"The first of the changed outfits—how is that even styling…? Just looking at the clothes, you’d think they’re a random passerby."
"Honestly, they’d look better just wearing their own clothes."
"It’s about saving money. And since the company still spends some money, some fans defend it, which is why nothing changes."
"Wow, the difference between before and after is huge."
"When the outfits are terrible, it’s honestly painful."
"Even I can tell something’s off, and I don’t know much about styling."
"Is the stylist just copying looks from Musinsa and putting them on the idols? What’s the point of being an idol then?"
"As soon as I saw the first photo, I understood."
"Here we go again ㅡㅡ"
"Why don’t they care? Feels personal."
"It’s not just the colors—the fit is a disaster."
"Looks like they’re treating them the same way they did older groups. BigHit, please stop."
"Huh? Why did it suddenly go from performance-level outfits to just something random neighborhood guys would wear? What happened?"
"The recent ones are actually better…"
"Maybe I think it’s not that bad because my bias’s styling is usually worse… looks fine to me."
"Better than our group’s coordi, honestly…"
"It looks lighter and more comfortable, so I kind of like it?"
"I don’t really mind it."
"I’m a casual fan, but just looking at the bottom half, it’s not that bad."
"This feels more like a lack of effort than a styling issue. Like they’re relying on the group’s name value and just mixing random pieces."
"They don’t look any different from guys walking down the street."
"Guess they cut the styling budget…"
"Yeah, it’s definitely looking more like casual wear."
"If my fave could even get outfits this decent, I’d be happy."
"Didn’t think they were styled amazingly before either, but the after is definitely the worst ㅠㅠ"
"Back when they debuted, the concept had a fresh vibe—maybe it feels off now because the tone got darker?"

The divide in opinion highlights just how closely fans watch and care about TXT’s image. While some embrace the newer, more relaxed style, many still long for the detailed and conceptual outfits that helped set the group apart in their earlier years.

What do you think about TXT’s recent stage fashion? Are the outfits a step back, or just a new direction?
