Harry Styles’s Fashion Evolution, From High-waisted Trousers to Feather Boas
Alongside his music, Harry’s Styles sense of style has evolved over the years—and seemingly, both just keep getting better. After much anticipation, the singer released first solo album in 2017, featuring his first hit single “Sign of the Times.” The song is a sprawling five minutes and 41 seconds that touches upon musical styles of both Queen and David Bowie —a far cry from his teeny-bopper One Direction days. Then came the Stevie Nicks-approved Fine Line in 2019, which really solidified just how grown up the musician has become. He’s also embarked on a film career, having earned a role in Christopher Nolan’s 2017 film Dunkirk and Olivia Wilde’s upcoming period piece Don’t Worry Darling. And then there’s his fashion. Never one to stick to a traditional shirt and pants, the singer has come to be known for his affinity of high waisted trousers, pearl necklaces, and sparkly boots, preferably by Gucci and Saint Laurent. Here, a look back at his style evolution from teenage heartthrob to established fashion risk-taker.
