Harry Styles has taken both heat and shade for his sartorial choices over the last decade. But somewhere among the jumpsuits, peplum-padded blazers, crochet knits, handbags, nail polish and pearls, the former-One-Direction-member-turned-solo-superstar has become just as celebrated for setting new fashion trends while breaking taboos, much in the same vein as his idols Mick Jagger and David Bowie. In this special issue of Pop Icons, we take a look through Harry’s style album — from his nascent days giving off-the-rack suits some class to his stunning Love On Tour looks, haute-couture collaborations and his own beauty brand — and count down his best style innovations.
