Harry Styles isn't afraid to experiment with fashion and it's a notable quality that has left us all in awe as he shatters gender barriers by wearing dresses, skirts, pearls, and make-up

"I think fashion's supposed to be fun," English singer and songwriter Harry Styles said while donning a stunning sheer Gucci outfit during an interview with Liza Koshy at the Met Gala 2019. It's apparent that Harry doesn't shy away from experimenting with fashion. His playfulness knows no bounds, not even gender norms. Since then, Harry has donned several iconic looks that continue to make headlines worldwide.

During Styles' performance at the 63rd Grammy Awards, the first-time nominee donned a custom Gucci leather suit. Completing this sultry and gender-bending look is the feather boa he wore around his neck as he sang his hit song, Watermelon Sugar.

2. Gucci Lace Jumpsuit, Gloves, and Pearl Necklace

While lace is traditionally a staple in women's fashion, Styles wears a jumpsuit made completely with lace from Gucci and completes the look with a pearl necklace at The Brit Awards 2020.

"Tailoring has been an important part of Harry’s wardrobe for some time now. We’ve never been afraid to experiment with silhouette, and tonight is no exception," Harry Lambert, Styles' stylist shared in an interview.

3. Comme des Garçons Shirt and Dress

The frills definitely have to be one of Styles' favourites as he's worn this particular style in different ways. "I want things to look a certain way. Not because it makes me look gay, or it makes me look straight, or it makes me look bisexual, but because I think it looks cool," he shared in an interview.

And if a shirt and a dress from Comme des Garçons are chic to Styles, he'll definitely give it a try.

4. Wales Bonner Kilted Skirt

Apart from the iconic Vogue cover portraying Styles in a blue dress and a blazer, the hitmaker also wore a kilted skirt from Wales Bonner's Fall 2020 collection. Although this might look silly for those who have seen it for the first time, one should also consider that kilts are worn by men in Scotland.

5. Nail Polish

Depending on the event or the music video, Styles often paints his nails according to the appropriate aesthetic. He experiments with the colours just as often as he'd experiment with clothes. But his "go-to shade" for nail polish is definitely mint green as Jenny Longworth, celebrity manicurist, shared.

Styles' most unforgettable fashion moment would have to be when he stunned the crowd at the Met Gala wearing a sheer frilled black blouse and Gucci pearl earring. It was also the first time he had his ears pierced. It was truly an iconic moment.
