The Suit that Started it All

Anyone who knows Harry Styles now knows all about his statement looks and bold patterned suits. It would be hard to believe that before 2015, it was a lot of plain white T-shirts and jeans. 2015 was the year all that changed. Harry started to wear more patterned tops and clothing that could be considered more feminine. But nothing beat the iconic AMA suit from November 22nd.

Now I know to most people the suit is questionable and kind of looks like a couch pattern from the 70’s, but it’s actually a luxury Gucci suit. One that does take some inspiration from 70’s fashion with the bell bottom flared pants.

Whether it was positive or negative, this was a look that everyone had something to say about the next day. Major media outlets continued to call it Harry’s worst look and compared it too a popular Ikea bedding pattern that looks suspiciously like the Gucci pattern. On the other end the fans, including myself, loved it and went crazy when the first pictures were posted on social media. It was nice to see Harry exploring new fashion trends and not being afraid to try something different.

From this point on Harry hasn’t been afraid to walk out in the boldest patterns, most of which resemble 70’s furniture prints and are more expensive than a few month’s rent. Which is why I refer to this suit as the suit that started it all, the suit that led to all of the wonderful, amazing looks to follow.

Since this post is going up on February 1st, which is Harry’s birthday, I’m going to wrap this post up with a short happy 25th birthday to one of the most influential people in my life!
