Harry Styles Harry Styles Fashion 2016

If boy-band style is all most co-ordinating colours and matching outfits, Harry Styles has never really paid attention. Every bit his career hit the big fourth dimension, the sometime One Direction member traded teen-friendly Jack Wills tracksuits for an enviable (and expansive) selection of Saint Laurent, Burberry and, virtually notably, Gucci.

Long the well-nigh directional dresser of the fivesome, it was in early 2013, at the age of nineteen, that Harry began to intermission the mould. A printed Burberry shirt here, a skinny-jean-and-boots combination there, all enhanced past his scrapbook-esque drove of tattoos. His peers might have continued to sport boyish trainers, hoodies and leather jackets, just Harry honed his sartorial focus. As the twelvemonth ended, Harry had collected a British Fashion Award for his personal style.

By the time I Direction took to the road in 2014 for the Where We Are tour, Harry was rarely seen without a slice of Hedi Slimane's Saint Laurent. Tuxedo jackets, printed shirts, the Wyatt boots and silk scarves all became regular features of his wardrobe, both on and off stage.

2017 marked the inflow of a Gucci-heavy aesthetic for the at present 27-year-old. Having cut his famous curls off for his Dunkirk part, Harry set off on the promo trail for his debut solo album with a confident approach to style that saw him introduce what is now his signature aesthetic. Recollect: candy floss-pinkish suits, printed satin flares, stacked heels and fistfuls of rings.

Harry was praised by fans for his willingness to blur gender boundaries. Few high-profile stars rival him in his taste for audacious fashion. His mode icon status was cemented in 2018, when Gucci announced that he would become the face of its tailoring campaign (at that place have since been three, plus a fragrance entrada for the firm). A role co-hosting the Met Gala presently followed.

There was much anticipation surrounding Harry's next wardrobe evolution as he prepared for another world tour to promote his well-received sophomore album. "It's time to try something new and hopefully shock and inspire in a different way," Harry'southward long-time stylist, Harry Lambert, told Miss Vogue. "I know the fans love his outfits, then hopefully they will love what'due south to come up." Alas, Harry, similar all his peers, had to postpone the tour owing to the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, he delivered his most colourful music video to date, the joyful "Watermelon Saccharide", and followed it upwards with the transportive "Golden" – introducing the world to Liverpool designer Steven Stokey-Daley and a particularly fabulous pair of printed trousers.
