Here’s Where To Shop Fits Inspired by Harry Styles’ Gender Bending Style In India

Harry Styles

Dubbed the best dressed male musician in the world, Harry Styles’ sartorial outings have collectively changed the face of menswear. While he’s in no way the first man to challenge rigid norms, courtesy the legion of gay men and artists like David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, he can most certainly live up to his designation as the most impactful one in today’s day and age.

And these fashion credentials, there’s definite interest in replicating all that Harry Styles dons. High on colour, print and embellishments, his personal and red-carpet style is a mélange of practicality and experimentation which successfully blurs the boundaries of gender.

Keep reading for a few finds from Indian labels that’ll excite the Harry Styles fan in you.

Featuring the Alpha Cross motif as an applique on the front, their ‘Alpha Cross Jacket’ is crafted in cotton canvas, thereby granting some structure to the make. A rather dressier counterpart than the majority of the brand’s offerings, this is the one if colours and prints are a bit much for you.
