Jackson Wang has gone from a national fencer to member of K-pop sensation GOT7 to founder of his very own fashion label, Team Wang. This multi-hyphenate has come a long way in his own solo music journey, too, with collaborations with major international artists like Swae Lee, Major Lazer and Galantis, and multiple performances at Coachella. But fans who are familiar with the singer already know he’s a stylish cultural icon. What’s more, Wang was recently named a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton, Cartier and Fendi, which collaborated with the artist on a capsule collection a few years back. Below, we break down Jackson Wang’s style evolution over the years.

Jackson’s style evolution begins here with this Instagram post as a baby-faced national athlete. Here, Jackson rocks a white singlet with a long silver chain. Can we just appreciate his round puppy eyes for a second?
Jackson moved into his b-boy era here with a snapback cap, gold chain and watch, paired with a patterned Lacoste sweater and some stylish sunglasses.
While GOT7 first made their debut in 2014, their first hit song “Just Right” came two years later, featuring a pop art colour palette in their MV and some super catchy lyrics. Here Jackson is pictured wearing a green crewneck sweater with large lettering.
This post marked the beginning of his journey with Fendi. Rocking a yellow zip-up with a green mock neck top and grey trousers, Jackson effortlessly hit the sweet spot between athleisure and formalwear.
Rocking the Korean boyfriend look, Jackson pairs his hoodie here with a military-print cargo jacket, keeping it casual while on a private jet.
Just because Jackson sports sweatpants and beanies doesn’t mean that he can’t rock a tuxedo. Attending the Hong Kong Tourism Envoy Appointment Ceremony back in 2018, he proved that he can do it all.
Friends with Karl Lagerfeld and Silvia Fendi? Just Jackson things. Sporting head-to-toe Fendi sweatpants and a sweater in the first photo and a tan fluffy coat with a graphic tee in the second photo, Jackson isn’t just your average Fendi man.
At this point, shirtless pics are a must for every K-pop boy band.
Snapping a pic of his outfit for Fendi’s runway during fashion week, Jackson shows us how to layer without getting lost in the fabric.
Beanies are a classic part of Jackson’s style, especially his airport looks.

A good black leather jacket is a staple of any wardrobe and Jackson knows this well.
When he’s not on stage, Jackson wears PALM ANGELS’s Pine Green Chenille Track Pants, Adidas Originals Superstar Shoes and…a Simpsons sweater?
This mix of fishnet mesh and red suede made for a solid statement piece. Styling it with red sweatpants and ankle-high black boots, the star proves he can make anything look good.
Winning a music award at BAZAAR’s 2021 Icons Party, the singer took the classic suit to the next level with an ombré grey and white co-ord that made his ice-blonde hair stand out. It’s giving Jack Frost.
Jackson loves to show off those toned biceps.
The superstar was invited to the Louis Vuitton Menswear Fall-Winter 2023/2024 show in Paris and kept it simple with a head-to-toe black ensemble that incorporated different textures and fabrics.
If Jackson’s fashion week look was all about the baggy and oversized fit, his Met Gala look was all about flattering the figure. At the 2023 Met Gala celebrating Karl Lagerfeld’s work, Jackson completed his look with sunglasses, a Lagerfeld signature.
