The look is nonchalant, elegant, and surprisingly cool—but we also expect nothing less from Styles.
Harry Styles Rocks the Over-the-Shoulder Sweater
It’s no secret that Harry Styles knows how to dress. Whether he’s on the red carpet, performing on stage, or simply walking around town, the singer has a distinctive personal style of his own. It’s well-documented that he’s partial to feather boas, groovy suits, and how could anyone forget the custom Gucci dress he donned on his Vogue cover? Yesterday, however, Styles was spotted in Sherman Oaks, California with a brand new fashion proposal: He rocked the preppy over-the-shoulder sweater, and in a way only he can.
In elevated casual wear, Styles stepped out in ripped jeans and a graphic tee with a light blue sweater nonchalantly slung over his shoulders. The knit wasn’t tied tightly around the neck in the style of, say, a frequent country club-goer. Rather, it was barely tied at all—as though Styles flung it over his shoulders before walking out the door in a rush. The end result looked cool yet elegant. His checkered Vans sneakers also made the drapey sweater moment feel youthful and not like how your grandpa would wear it. (Though, if Styles leaned into granddad style, something tells us he would still somehow pull it off.)
So, the next time you want to bring a sweater out in case it gets cold later, remember to do it like Styles: Just throw it over the shoulder, then head on out the door. Don’t overthink it or fuss with it too much—it’s the rockstar way.
