About this deal

Styles didn’t get to play live again until last autumn, but something funny happened in the interim. While we were bound to our homes, Styles experienced his first number one hit in Fine Line’s ‘Watermelon Sugar’, a tune so sweet it may take a moment to realise he’s singing about cunnilingus. Less than a year later, he won his first Grammy for it. Those post-Wembley showers were especially gratifying. When One Direction, which Styles casually refers to as “the band”, played the stadium in 2014, he ended up with tonsillitis on the day of the show. “I was miserable,” he recalls. “We played the first one, and I remember I came off, got in the car, and just started crying because I was so disappointed.”

What I value the most from my friends is I’m reminded that it’s OK to be flawed. I’m pretty messy and make mistakes sometimes” — Harry Styles We came offstage, and I went into my dressing room and just wanted to sit by myself for a minute,” he tells me, two months later. “After One Direction, I didn’t expect to ever experience anything new. I kind of felt like, ‘All right, I’ve seen how crazy it can get.’ And I think there was something about it where I was…not terrified, but I just needed a minute. Because I wasn’t sure what it was. Just that the energy felt insane.”In the past couple of years, he started to go to therapy more routinely. “I committed to doing it once a week,” he explains. “I felt like I exercise every day and take care of my body, so why wouldn’t I do that with my mind?”

Popular items on Stitch Fix that have answered the demand for Styles’ look include faux leather styles, menswear-inspired statement blazers and wide-leg statement pants. Christina Formica, a 24-year-old beauty publicist, attended four shows of the tour, putting together different outfits for each one. “He’s so comfortable with himself and isn’t afraid to wear colors and mix patterns. My style used to be bland and dark, but now I’m more comfortable wearing what I want and expanding the colors in my wardrobe. I would have never worn purple and orange multicolor pants with a purple boa before,” she said. Still, Harry Styles, known for his gender-fluid outfits, has been accused by some critics of queerbaiting — when one benefits from appearing as queer without openly claiming an LGBTQ identity. Styles insists that his sexual orientation is nobody's business.

With three singles from the 2022 "Harry's House" and a fourth song, heis the first British solo artist to have four top 10 hits in the US charts, a feat last accomplished by The Beatlesin 1964, according to German magazine Musikexpress . Clients are requesting edgier pieces with bolder colors to wear to Harry Styles’ concerts and also to emulate his style. He’s known for an androgynous approach to outfitting, a bit unconventional and eccentric. And he often couples classic basics with statement pieces that have a fun, and sometimes feminine, flair,” said Stitch Fix stylist Ashley Sanchez. “His willingness to take risks with his wardrobe has propelled him to icon status this year for our clients, who are gravitating toward his look as they want to try something different — new and bolder than their typical style. People also love how he expresses himself authentically and is very inclusive in his fashion.” Darling and Policeman make their big premieres at prestigious film festivals in Venice and Toronto late this summer, but Styles isn’t sure his pivot to the silver screen will be permanent. “I don’t imagine I’d do a movie for a while,” he says. There are rumours about how many Marvel movies he’s signed on for and other franchises he might be secretly in talks to do. (In response to a rumour he’ll be starring in a future Star Wars series, he says, “That’s the first I’ve heard of that. I’d imagine…false.”)
