Embracing the Scottish Culture

After traveling around the world for five years in One Direction, it’s no surprise that Harry’s picked up on quite a bit of the cultural traditions from the places he’s been. It never went much further than picking up on bits of the native language, like picking up on quite a bit of Japanese, or a new love for a traditional dish, like poutine in Canada. That was until Harry came to Glasgow on his second solo tour.

As with all of Harry’s shows, the fans at the show and online were patiently waiting for Harry to come on stage so everyone could see what unique outfit he’d be wearing that night. But no one was truly prepared for what Harry would be wearing that night in Glasgow. When the curtain raised Harry was rocking the traditional Scottish outfit, kilt and all. In a matter of seconds, blurry pictures of Harry in his kilt were all over social media. Leaving all the fans at home in a state of shock and almost disappointment that they weren’t there.

If Harry alone in a kilt wasn’t enough, he somehow convinced his entire band to also dress in traditional Scottish looks. Guitarist, Adam Prendergast, and bassist, Mitch Rowland, were both in outfits that mirrored Harry’s. On the other hand drummer, Sarah Jones, and pianist, Clare Uchima, wore more traditional looks for women with lots of plaid. During the entire tour the whole band has had looks that coordinate together, with Harry always being the brightest and boldest. But with this particular show, they all stood out in something out of their comfort zone. That night, as in tour tradition, there was a group photo of them all in that night’s look on Harry’s Instagram.

This particular look will always be one of the most memorable for everyone.
