BTS' Suga made a signature look for himself during the D-Day tour, which included ripped jeans, tailored jackets and long hair.
When BTS' Suga said in 2023 that he'd see us in 2025, he meant every word. As the wait stretches on, ARMY misses the rapper and his signature smile, finding joy in every rare sighting, which could just be in the form of a restaurant autograph. So, while we count down the days until he's back spitting fire on stage, let's take a look back at the fashion moments from his D-DAY tour that made just as many waves as his electrifying performances.
Long hair, tailored jacket, a look that fans won't forget
Long hair, don't care—that seemed to be Suga's unspoken motto during the tour. Dressed in jackets, ripped jeans and loose shirts, this became his trademark look. As a global ambassador for Valentino since early 2023, Suga had prominently featured the brand's designs in his tour wardrobe. Notably, during performances, he donned custom Valentino suits crafted by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli. These ensembles included double-breasted tailored jackets adorned with the iconic Valentino studs and the Valen Tie from the Fall/Winter 2023-24 "Black Tie" collection. The jackets were personalised with "D-DAY" printed on the front.
A standout ensemble featured a custom-designed white outfit by the brand. This look included a reversible nylon bomber jacket, shimmering with tonal sequins, paired with denim trousers and a white t-shirt. ARMY won't quite forget the rapper, dressed in white, walking across the stage, signaling the crowds to sing louder.
Suga doesn't just wear fashion, he owns it. His style isn't about playing it safe; it's about fusing classiness with high-end sophistication. Ripped jeans? Not just a phase, more like a signature. He gravitates toward premium denim from brands like Fear of God, bringing that raw, rebellious energy to the stage. The distressed details and relaxed fits contrast sharply, in the best way possible, with his tailored Valentino pieces, proving that luxury and streetwear don't just coexist, they thrive together in Suga's world. As one fan aptly describes on Twitter, that baggy look just added more fire to his performance. 'He looks like a rockstar that you don't want to mess with: The kid that sits in the back bench.'
His style isn't just about the clothes. It's about the finishing touches that make his outfits unmistakably his. Accessories aren't extras, they're essential to his aesthetic. Take his earlier Chanel Gabrielle bag—a piece that adds a subtle flex to his fit, blending luxury with that 'I-just-threw-this-on' energy. It's practical, it's stylish, and it screams understated opulence.
Then there's his love for headwear. Slouchy beanie that gives him an off-duty musician vibe? Sleek cap that sharpens his silhouette? Bring it on. Chokers, why not? Suga knows how to top off a look, literally. These pieces aren't just about style. hey bring an air of mystery and nonchalance, a nod to his persona both on and off stage. He plays with textures, colours, and fits, proving that sometimes, the smallest details make the loudest impact.
