Style spotlight: 10 Fabulously flamboyant and stylish looks of Harry Styles that we can’t get enough of

Hailed as one of the most stylish men in the world, Harry Styles is a trendsetter who steals the show wherever he goes. The British star, who was born on February 1, 1994, first appeared on The X-Factor before joining One Direction and skyrocketing to stardom. The band went on hiatus after releasing four studio albums, but it wasn’t too long before Styles released his solo debut album in 2017, featuring his first hit single, Sign of the Times. Since then, gone are the days of him wearing a plain white tee paired with skinny jeans and ankle boots.

High-waisted trousers, bright suits, and flashy footwear are much more of the singer’s style now—living up to his surname. Styles bases his wardrobe on a couple of essentials before adding quirky final touches. His taste in clothing has matured, and he’s not afraid to play by his own rules. It was also thanks to his close relationship with former Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele that he never had to worry about his clothes as he was always dressed in the Italian label. 

Distinguished by gender fluidity, Styles’ unconventional taste has influenced thousands of individuals across the planet. This is evident by the fact that his fans would dress up for his concerts in a variety of looks, all thanks to the singer’s daring sense of fashion. Styles’ ensembles never cease to inspire—from pastel-coloured flares to ruffled shirts and patterned bell bottoms—earning him a spot in the top tiers of fashion. In celebration of his 29th lap around the sun, we take a look at ten of our favourite outfits donned by the multi-hyphenate style icon.

In what appears to be a never-ending concert tour around the world, Styles never fails to serve look after look. This custom Gucci sequin jacket and pants in aquamarine blue and scarlet red, combined with the red Adidas x Gucci Gazelle trainers he wore in Chicago, definitely caught our attention.

Styles appeared on the Today Show in a custom JW Anderson jumpsuit with bell sleeves to promote his third studio album, Harry’s House. Fun fact: the striped jumpsuit was first seen in dress form as part of the House’s Resort 2022 collection but was re-tailored to fit Styles’ aesthetic, but of course.
