What can’t Harry Styles wear? Styles took centre stage for his solo music debut on the Today show, sporting a bespoke suit from English tailor Edward Sexton. The pink custom suit is his latest 70s inspired outfit. It featured a single button and powerful shoulder. Styles has been known to wear "rock star pink" proudly, with some fashion experts saying this look had a Bowie-esque meets Elvis Presley vibe.

The 23-year-old also knows how to pare back his looks, donning black on black in many instances. This gives him the opportunity to play with textures and silhouettes, with Harry often wearing velvet and satin tops and blazers with a smart boot, black jeans and dress jewellery.

In the era of 'Millennial Pink', some have argued that Harry blurring the line between men's and women's wear is ushering in a new wave of gender neutral dressing. The star who originally has named his working title album Pink said to Rolling Stones, “Pink is the only true rock-and-roll colour.” Styles wore another satin floral Gucci Fall 2017 blouse for a Saturday Night Live Promo.
