Love them or hate them, One Direction is everywhere. From their numerous chart-topping hits to sell-out tours and even having their own movie, the presence of this boy band is far-reaching and undeniable. But this group of four members are known for more than just being easy-on-the-eyes and catchy pop tunes. They have developed a refined and admirable sense of fashion that has greatly evolved from when they first started. By ditching the boy-next-door look for something more mature and tasteful, the four of them have become some sort of fashion icons for men’s fashion.
And with that, we review some of the guys’ recent looks and style so you know how you can recreate them for yourself.
Harry Styles
Harry was never one for buttoning his shirt. Instead, he likes to keep his shirt loose and opened to flaunt his tattoos. His look is a little more adventurous and experimental, threading a fine line between silly and slick. But it seems this youngest member of the band has what it takes to play with bold prints and bright colours. Keep your bottoms tapered and muted to balance out this look thats certainly high on the drama factor should you choose to recreate it.
Niall Horan
In contrast, this second youngest member of the group likes to keep his outfit simple and classic. Taking on an almost no-frills approach in dressing up, Niall usually opts for a basic t-shirt or short sleeve buttoned shirt. His look demonstrates how owning the quintessential pieces in your wardrobe will never let you down, granting you the ability to pull off a fuss-free yet versatile get-up. Keep those short-sleeved oxfords close to you and play with fabric textures for some muted drama.
Liam Payne
After swopping those side-swept bangs for some facial hair, Liam pulls off modern street wear with a hint of grunge. It might be his fuzzy stubble lending to the whole bad-boy vibe but it certainly is working in his favour. He amps up the drama by playing with accessories and layers, thus emulating high-end street fashion. To pull off his look, tie a flannel under your t-shirt and jeans combination or pop on a round hat to the usual shirt and pants combination for something novel and exciting.
Louis Tomlinson
Louis exudes major rocker vibes with his get-up. His preference for leather jackets and skater fit shirts adds a little punk and funk into his look. Even the most casual pieces look dapper on Louis. Perhaps owing to the fact that he is the oldest member of the band, his style is both polished and edgy. Play up your outfit with a fitted leather jacket or roll up the sleeves of a slightly oversized shirt to look snappy and dashing.
