Who are the most famous sinners in history?
During his 2018 European tour, he gave a special nod to one of France's greatest designers in this custom Saint Laurent suit. The fabric was woven with glitter, and he wore a feminine ruffled tunic underneath.
Silk shirts that showed a lot of chest paired with a thin silk scarf also became one of his trademark looks. His patchwork of tattoos continued to grow and added to his edgy look.
High waisted, wide-legged trousers have become one of Styles' go-to looks. It's a bold silhouette for male fashion and is one of his many androgynous signifiers.
By the end of 2013, Harry Styles had taken home a British Fashion Award for his personal style.
This outfit is the laid-back version of Styles' flamboyant look. He paired his flared corduroy trousers with a '70s style embroidered jacket. The finishing touches were his signature pearls and painted nails.
Styles was always the standout fashion icon of the group. His looks on and off- stage tended to reflect the latest fashion trends. In this case, it's skinny jeans, Converse shoes, and a beanie!
In terms of fashion, the One Direction band members were often tightly coordinated, but each member gained their own personal style as their success grew.
When put side by side with his fellow band members, he always had an extra edge that set him apart.
He introduced the aesthetic that would become his signature. For a solo performance at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, he wore this mint green Givenchy suit with a retro '70s cut and stacked heel boots.
For his performance at the BBC Live Lounge, Styles arrived wearing a Gucci t-shirt he designed in collaboration with Alessandro Michele, the creative director at Gucci.
By 2016, Styles had already started rocking bell bottoms and was often in stark contrast when photographed with One Direction.
He was often seen in sharp tuxedos with heeled boots and a bold print. His glorious hair was getting longer and longer!
Like those artists, he uses his clothes as a way to experiment and play.
In 2014, his fashion prowess really came to fruition. While on the road for One Direction's Where We Are tour, he was rarely seen in public without an Yves Saint Laurent element to his outfit.
Ten years into his career, Styles completely embraced the showmanship of the artists he most admires: Prince, David Bowie, and Elton John.
He went full Austin Powers at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in 2017 with this Gucci suit! The oversized neck bow would become a common feature in his 1970s-inspired outfits.
It's hard to ignore the influence of Elton John in both Styles' fashion sense and music. Elton John is a fan of Styles, once saying, "I love how he takes chances and risks." That's serious praise coming from the man with one of the most iconic fashion styles in music history!
In November 2020, it was revealed that Harry Styles would be US Vogue's first ever solo male cover star. Not only did he seize this landmark opportunity, he did it in a dress!
When Styles released his Spotify album in 2019, he sported a custom Lanvin cardigan featuring an illustration of Babar the Elephant from the classic children's story.
His look was defined by skinny jeans, printed shirts, and the famous suede Saint Laurent Wyatt boots.
In a 2019 interview with Dazed Magazine, Styles reflected on the evolution of his look. He said "I used to wear all black all of the time," but after looking at the musicians he most admired he realized that the clothes are part of the performance.
Michele and Styles became friends back in 2014, and since then Styles has done several Gucci Tailoring campaigns as well as plenty of other collaborations. Michele has been responsible for some of this most memorable outfits.
He wore a bright yellow suit from Marc Jacobs' womenswear collection to the after party. In an interview with Vogue in 2020, Styles said, “I find myself looking at women’s clothes, thinking they’re amazing."
Whether knowingly or unknowingly, Styles has become the face of gender-neutral fashion. Younger generations no longer believe that people should be defined by their gender, particularly when it comes to fashion.
He wore this full lace Gucci outfit when performing at the BRIT Awards in 2020. The look was completed with white lace gloves, suspenders, and, of course, pearls. His stylist Harry Lambert described his outfit as granny chic with a touch of Princess Diana.
On the milestone night where Styles won his first Grammy for Best Solo Pop Performance, his accessory of choice was a feather boa.
Harry Styles first came into the public eye at the tender age of 16. At the time, he was still childlike and lacking in personal style, preferring to go with the tracksuits that were the typical look for boys his age. But as his fame grew and he gained maturity, so did his taste.
Harry Styles is now known for having the most playful and innovative fashion sense in the music industry, which was perfectly on display at the 2021 Grammys where he walked the red carpet, performed, and picked up his first Grammy ever while wearing a feather boa.
He defies gender-norms by wearing pearl necklaces, high-heel boots, and nail varnish, but continues to make it onto the yearly 'Sexiest Men' lists. His fashion sense is ever-evolving, and always ahead of the times. Click through this gallery to see his incredible style evolution to date.
Styles turned the brightness up for his Coachella set, which also featured appearances from Shania Twain and Lizzo.
Fans loved this casual chic Canadian tuxedo with a dash of fur along the collar.
For the screening of 'Don't Worry Darling' at the Venice Film Festival, Styles let his collar do all the talking.
