I-dle member Soyeon revived the quintessential ’90s popstar uniform on September 8 as she headed to New York for the Coach spring-summer 2027 runway show during New York Fashion Week. The K-pop leader, who serves as Coach’s global brand ambassador, paired a chocolate-brown cropped zip-up hoodie with matching drawstring track pants, both from the luxury brand, and wore them in the most iconic ’90s way possible: the hoodie unzipped to reveal a bandeau-style bra, and the pants worn low-rise to show off her midriff.
According to Teen Vogue, this exact formula—track pants paired with a bra-top—was a uniform favored by A-listers aplenty in the ’90s, from Jennifer Lopez to Britney Spears and Aaliyah. The look defined an era of pop culture and remains instantly recognizable. Soyeon completed the throwback aesthetic with sunglasses, another popstar staple from that decade, and a mini Coach Tabby shoulder bag.
The tracksuit trend shows no signs of slowing down in 2026. According to a July 2026 report, tracksuits are firmly back in style, though the modern version differs from the baggy gymwear of past decades. Fall 2026 has also embraced vintage activewear, with publications like WWD noting that ’90s silhouettes—loose-fitting tracksuits, color-blocked sports bras, and striped pants—are dominating fashion week presentations. Elle reported in February 2026 that late ’90s aesthetics are ruling the runways, with designers from Marc Jacobs to emerging labels mining the decade for inspiration.
Soyeon’s airport look also doubles as transitional style inspiration. Teen Vogue noted that the formula works for back-to-school season if adapted slightly: swap the bralette for a cropped tank or cami, and replace the mini bag with a larger carryall to carry school supplies. The versatility of the look—blending comfort with undeniable style—explains why both the ’90s original and its 2026 revival resonate across generations. Soyeon stayed loyal to Coach throughout her coordinated look, pairing the tracksuit with the brand’s skate-inspired slip-on sneakers featuring heritage canvas and snap hook hardware.
As Coach’s global ambassador, Soyeon has become a visible champion of the brand’s aesthetic. Her appearance at the spring-summer 2027 show marks another high-profile moment in a partnership that began in 2025. By choosing to wear the brand’s pieces in such a nostalgic, deliberately styled way, she signals that athleisure and retro fashion are not competing trends but complementary forces in contemporary style.
