Basically the other day I was watching Katy Perry's music video The One That Got Away and just below it was an advertisement to one of One Direction's songs What Makes You Beautiful. Like what any bored youtube browsers, I clicked on it. At first, I couldn't really recognize what my reactions were, but I was still determined to spend the next half an hour of my life, learning the 5 british singers' names. Harry, Liam, Zayn, Naill and Louis. I got a little mixed up at first with Harry and Liam because Liam used to have straight hair but recently permed his hair and it looks similar to Harry's. Now i just think how stupid I was to think they looked alike.
Now I've download both their music videos What Makes You Beautiful and Gotta Be You in high definition on my mac, have a playlist in iTunes named One Direction with their full album 1D and set all my wallpapers on my desktop, laptops and phone to pictures of 1D (mostly Harry Styles). Obsessive? Well the lack of 1D all over my walls shows that this time is not as bad as others.
So basically now I think I finally know why I love them so much: THE CLOTHES. Okay Harry looks gorgeous but seriously, he won me mainly by his outfit. So HOW TO LOOK LIKE HARRY SYLES?
1. The classic cute look
This one is cheap and affordable. First head of to the closest cheap dollar store. If your in Auckland like me, there's a store in the city called Look Sharp. Doesn't look very big from the outside but you can find almost any kind of costume inside. Get a cute little funky bear trapper hat.
An unbranded plain top with some low ride jeans will do underneath an oversized American football blazer. AMAZING AND COMFORTABLE.
This is pretty much an extremely casual look especially for road trips, theme park visits or just a casual stroll under the moonlight.
2. The Stage X Factor Look
When harry suits up, he's cute look transforms into a completely masculinity. This 17 year old boy certainly has the X Factor in there somewhere. This look is expensive but is definitely worth saving up for.
Chuck on a tie, a single-breasted coat with matching pants and flick your hair a couple of times, if my prom date turned up like this, I would know that I would soon have the best time of my life.
On the stage, Harry wears a thin layer of foundation just to calm his teenage skin. After all, he's on 17. Don't expect his real skin to be as perfect as it looks. GUYS! It's alright to wear a little bit of make up at times. People will only start calling you gay if the layer of foundation gets to 1cm thick and smoky eyes.
Harry does it. He's not gay.
3. SCARFIN IT UP!
For me, one of the most outstanding fashion statements Harry has made so far is his way with scarfs. Totally stunning. Especially if you have long hair that sticks out like Harry. However attractive, the loose scarf can balance the proportions out.
An easier alternative would be a loose-necked jumper.
