In the world of Kiralık Aşk (Love for Rent) , love isn’t just about emotions—it’s a game of strategy, power, and style.
Series stands out not only for its interesting storyline but also for its stunning fashion.
Starring Elçin Sangu as Defne and Barış Arduç as Ömer, Kiralık Aşk is a romantic comedy that blends love, and fashion into an irresistible story.
Defne, a sweet and hardworking waitress, gets an unusual offer—she must make Ömer, a successful but distant shoe designer, fall in love with her.
In return, she’ll receive enough money to solve her family’s problems.
As Defne enters Ömer’s world of high fashion and business, she struggles to hide the truth while falling for him.
Fashion becomes her greatest weapon, but can love survive a lie?
The series is interesting not only for fashion lovers but also for shoe enthusiasts.
Its main theme revolves around a shoe design company, where Ömer is the boss and Defne becomes his assistant.
Fashion as a Storytelling Tool
The series brilliantly uses fashion to reflect the characters’ growth and emotions.
Defne’s wardrobe evolves from simple, casual outfits to chic, sophisticated ensembles as she adapts to Ömer’s world.
Her transformation is not just about looking the part—it’s about gaining confidence and learning to stand her ground in a world where appearances matter.
On the other hand, Ömer’s style is a reflection of his personality: sharp, polished, and controlled.
His tailored suits and minimalist aesthetic symbolize his emotional walls, which Defne slowly begins to break down.
The contrast between their styles—Defne’s vibrant, playful looks versus Ömer’s restrained elegance—creates a visual representation of their evolving relationship.
When we first meet Defne, she’s a free-spirited, hardworking waitress with a heart of gold.
Her curly hair perfectly reflects her personality: natural, untamed, and full of life.
It’s one of the first things Ömer notices about her, even if he doesn’t admit it right away.
When Neriman, Ömer’s aunt, recruits Defne to make Ömer fall in love with her, she finds Defne’s natural look too “unpolished” for his high-society world.
She takes her to a salon, insisting on straightening her hair, believing a sleeker style will help her fit in and achieve their goal.
However, Ömer is absolutely in love with her natural curls.
Though Defne mostly wears straightened hair or styled curls throughout the series, I love how they highlight that her natural hair is truly beautiful, and that Ömer prefers it more.
As she changes her hair, Defne also changes her clothes and shoes to fit into Ömer’s high-society world.
Some of her looks can be found on Pinterest, where fans of the series often share inspiration from her wardrobe.
We get to follow Ömer’s journey in creating shoes and see some of the stunning designs featured in the drama.
Ömer’s story is deeply connected to his past, especially his relationship with his mother.
His love for shoes began at a young age, inspired by his mother.
If you’re looking for a captivating mix of romance, humor, and style, Kiralık Aşk is a must-watch!
With its engaging storyline, stunning fashion, and memorable characters, the series offers much more than just a love story.
