Fans criticize TXT’s stylist for recent changes in stage outfits

Fans are criticizing TXT's stylists for their recent stage outfits.

On an online forum, netizens are discussing and debating the changes in TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)’s styling that many fans feel have noticeably declined in quality over recent comebacks. According to those fans, TXT's previous outfits had "a lot more detail," with colorful, vibrant combinations that were "interestingly stylish."

Past outfits:

Now, however, they argue the group’s styling has shifted toward a more "monotonous" look, with loose-fitting pieces that don't appear tailored to the members’ physiques. Many added that these latest outfits seem "without a clear concept"—which is all the more surprising considering they were worn at major award shows.

One fan wrote:

"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."

In response to this comparison of past and current outfits, some fans agreed, while others argued that "the current outfits are actually better." Still, many netizens commented that the shift may reflect a "lower budget" and that the real issue seems to be "not so much about the style but looking like low-effort."

Reactions 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?"
