Harry Styles debuted with the preppy, boy-band image of the well-loved One Direction - then flew solo with the bold, androgynous, and flamboyant lifestyle incorporated into his wardrobe. Coming into his own colors, he was on mission to burn stereotypes placed on men in the industry. No one saw him going in this direction - making it a refreshing surprise. He is a fashion icon that knows how to make an entrance whenever he walks into a room.
Listening to beloved tunes of his band playing in places you may have hung out during the 2010s, may bring a sense of nostalgia to your ears when you reminisce to those times. I am going to bring you on a blast to the past to hair that flips the right way. You would often see him sporting white t-shirts, skinny jeans, and scarves in his everyday wear. Feeling fancy, he went out in polo shirts, blazers, and sometimes bowties, reflecting a more preppy sense of style.
As the popularity of his band evolved in 2013-2015, so did his fashion. He wanted a change of pace - experimenting with the "skinny rocker" look. His look featured tight jeans, patterned shirts, and leather ankle boots. But, his look was not complete without the headscarves and tattoos - adding a more personal touch to his style. On red carpets, he often wore suits, experimenting with floral motifs and other statement pieces.
In 2017 - 2025, he embraced a gender-fluid style - often wearing styles traditionally associated with women, like dresses, pearl necklaces, and sheer blouses. When he was wearing suits - he made sure they made a flair with the flowing leg pants with bold colors, patterns, and textures. He was not afraid to rock dresses - becoming the first man to appear solo on the cover of Vogue in a blue Gucci dress. He was one to roll with designers such as Gucci and Harris Reed - to name a few - by wearing suits, shirts, and the famous dress on the cover of Vogue mentioned above featuring bold and dramatic designs.
Reformation has become his virtue, as he truly is a prime example of breaking the restrictions society puts on men encouraged to be masculine. He serves as a strong reference point for men who can do both masculine and feminine. He knows how to put the "Style" in Harry Styles.
