It’s his birthday today, and yes, we’re excited to see what Harry Styles will wear to celebrate. If you want to copy something from him or just indulge, we recommend a small but fine illustrated book that you could give yourself as a gift for your idol’s 30th.
He sings, he dances, he acts, he laughs, he dresses, undresses, he lets his hair grow and then cuts it off again – everything he does is registered. Commented. Copied. He’s Harry Styles, and he’s an icon. At just 30 years old. That’s why it’s completely legitimate to dedicate an illustrated book to him with the title: “Icons of Style – Harry Styles”. Brilliant photographs and analysis from fashion experts show the star we’ve followed in one way or another since his childhood in a boy band: admiringly, like most young women, lovingly, like most older women who are thinking about it for the first time , whether it would be okay if her son-in-law wore a huge fabric flower on his neck or grandma’s pearl necklace instead of a tie. Or just imitating, like so many who can discover themselves in this star with his many facets.
Butterflies in your stomach – Harry Styles definitely gives you that.
Whether the butterfly tattoo is a great idea or not, whether you look desperately professionally youthful when you’re still on the verge of screaming even at an advanced age, or whether you register with Ticketalarm for tickets to the next tour – no one can get past Harry Styles, and That is a good thing.
Ready for more?
There are exciting years behind Harry Styles in which he conquered the pop Olympus with his solo career. The all-rounder, who started his career in the boy band One Direction, recently withdrew from the public eye. The musician probably had enough to process during his break – and then there was the Brit’s new private happiness: Since November 2023 he has been appearing with the Canadian actress Taylor Russell.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

She would be the first woman in a long time who is a little younger than the Brit – so far it seemed as if Styles liked slightly more mature ladies. Be that as it may – Taylor and he are said to be in a relationship after his relationship with mother of two Olivia Wilde. And apparently Harry can imagine a future with the “Bones and All” actress. He’s at an ideal age for that.
Styles in “The Sphere”?

However, the best news at the beginning of the year so far was that Styles’ hair has grown back. But it would be even better if the following rumor turns out to be true: Apparently Styles is in talks to follow U2 and give a series of concerts at the new Las Vegas venue “The Sphere”.
If you don’t want to or can’t wait for that, you can pass the time by reading the book, which fits into every medium-sized Gucci or Chanel handbag. You can see the fashion development from the boy band boy through a few interesting style ideas to the man with the most charming smile, the biggest shirt collar, the best ideas ever – written down by Lauren Cochrane, a fashion journalist who has appeared at “The Guardian” is active. In her homage, she brings us closer to the pop god who drives all generations to the dance floors and clearly explains why he is the “King of Style” and with which constantly changing, eclectic outfits he broke all conventional boundaries.
The hair
You want to ruffle his hair…

An example: In the 2010s, Styles liked to appear in a casual outfit consisting of sweatpants, hoodie and quilted vest – a look that Taylor Swift fell in love with. But it was already then that he discovered his love for the color violet. Of course, you can’t talk about this period without mentioning his hair: his growing fan base is obsessed with it!
However, Styles’ X Factor-era curly head gave way to another iconic look: part forest spirit, part rock ‘n’ roll god. The fame that his hair enjoyed at the time – and which almost outshone his own – grew during the period that can certainly be called his “hairband phase”. He wore hairbands privately and on stage for a few years, and it can be said that the ingenious accessory helped him gain his rightful place in the fashion world as a teenager – as a hair icon of our time.
Band shirt, blazer, done

Really easy to imitate if you’re not into flowers, brooches or bling-bling: The ultimate indie classic – blazer with band T-shirt. A formula that Styles has made his own and that you too can wear, no matter your age. For further inspiration, we recommend taking a look at the “Style Bible”.
