If you’ve been following Joshua’s social media journey, you would know the LA boy has been serving us plenty. Between his casual candid photo dumps and, of course, a generous rotation of boyfriend looks, Seventeen’s very own gentleman has become a reliable source of collective heart damage. There is a reason his pictures always do numbers: the looks are seemingly casual, but very effective on fans whose hearts are already halfway to the floor.
He might be a global K-pop star with an uber-packed schedule, but the musician’s feed makes it clear that he still finds time to properly enjoy the cities he travels through. Between show call times and whatever supper plan happens after, he is often out on city walks or posted up at a café, which is exactly where the off-duty fits come in. Show at 6pm, supper at 11pm? Say less. It also helps that his Instagram covers almost every kind of date scenario. Thrifting date? Sorted. Night walk? Sorted. Café date? Sorted. Basically the whole package.

Our June cover star also charms fans with how comfortable he looks in his casual fits. The casual Shua formula is easy to spot: a comfy top, relaxed pants, then his chosen headwear or sunglasses. No actual rulebook, of course, but the magic sits in the details, and in how naturally everything comes together. The doe-eyed star also seems to gravitate toward softer, more neutral colours, which feels pretty apt for his equally soft demeanour.
Basically, the Shua off-duty wardrobe comes with really good styling notes. It is all super easy to wear, which is very much why his looks keep doing the rounds. Below, see Joshua’s best off-duty style moments, and how to cop them for yourself.
Midnight snack

Late-night sweet treat craving? This is the fit to cosy up in. Joshua’s move here is layering: a moto jacket over a hoodie, with sweatpants keeping the whole thing comfortably off-duty. Finish with a beanie of choice and you are basically ready for an 11pm snack run.
Café run

A café date calls for something lighter, and Seventeen’s gentleman keeps it easy with a neutral henley paired with contrasting trousers. Super effortless, but just dressed-up enough for a midday coffee run in town.
Museum date

We are dressing up this time. Our American prince goes the foolproof all-black route with a black tank and matching trousers before finishing the look with a long coat. Extremely sleek and very much museum-date approved.
Beach day

The dreamy K-pop star keeps things light with an oversized linen shirt and a tonal pair of shorts. Relaxed enough for a beach day, but perfect for the inevitable summer photo dump after.
City stroll

For those late-night walks around the city, Shua’s choice here is a silk button-up shirt paired with relaxed trousers, a cap and, of course, the pop-star off-duty touch that keeps things on the down low: a pair of shades.
