An Appreciation of Harry Styles’s Evolving Red Carpet Mastery
Much like his music, Harry’s Styles sense of style has evolved over the years. He’s gone from basic pop boy bander with an outfit to match to a fully grown man reveling in Britain’s long legacy of rock & roll eccentrics.
Styles’ taste in clothing has matured. While he started off his fame journey in matching suits with his One Direction bandmates, the singer’s current style is something more personal. Never one to stick to a traditional shirt and pants, Styles has come to be known for his affinity of high waisted trousers, chunky necklaces, and sparkly boots and thanks to his close relationship with former Gucci designer Alessandro Michele, he never has to worry about running out of any of those. Here, take a look back at his style evolution from teenage heartthrob to established fashion risk-taker.
This suit is (of course) Gucci, but you’d be forgiven if it came from Star Wars’s imperial dressing department. Styles ditched the open collars and exaggerated lapels of his usual suits to channel something a bit more streamlined and buttoned up, but still decidedly eccentric.
While the film festival premiere of My Policeman took place in Canada, Styles was channeling something a bit more Irish with this Gucci ensemble’s take on multiple shades of green.
Before White Lotus’s second season even premiered, Styles was giving a crash course in how a British dandy dresses for a jaunt to Italy during the Venice Film Festival.
For an event celebrating his third studio album, Styles went a bit more casual, wearing jeans and a white tee with a brown duck-covered cardigan from S.S.Daley on top. He finished off the look with his favorite necklace as of late, courtesy of Miami-based jewelry brand éliou.
