Whether he's singing on stage or dating stars like Taylor Swift, it's no secret that Harry Styles is a beloved celebrity. He's definitely hard to ignore! The former One Direction member is famous for a lot of things: his amazing voice, his fashionable outfits, and his, well, swagger. The British star may only be 23 years old, but he's accomplished a lot. His first solo album came out in May 2017 and he recently starred in the movie Dunkirk. This is clearly only the beginning of what is sure to be an absolutely amazing career!
But we have something else to talk about and that's how good-looking Harry Styles is. Of course, like everyone else, he has his bad hair days and his days when he's not wearing an outfit that really flatters him. Here are 20 photos of Harry Styles that make us ask: hot or not? What do you think? Do you agree? Take a look and see for yourself!
20 Two Buns: Not
OKAY. Let's talk about this. WHY is his hair in two buns on top of his head? Why? What's happening here?!
No matter how big of a fan of Harry Styles you are, you HAVE to admit that this was not a good look on him. You just have to. You're not being mean. You're not being rude. You're not being unfair or anything like that, so don't worry about it, and don't feel guilty. You're just being honest that this is not a very good hairstyle. Every fan would agree with that. He's also wearing a gray t-shirt that is honestly way too plain and, well, normal for him. You know that he's fashionable and loves to have fun with his outfits, and you're not sure why he didn't go all out here. Also, why didn't he just wear his hair down? You would have been all over that. If only Harry could tell you exactly why he chose this hairstyle! You just need so many answers.
19 Man Bun: Not
Okay, let's take a second and talk about a very important issue that is plaguing our society: the man bun.
Sometimes the man bun can look okay. SOMETIMES. This is a very subjective and conditional thing. If it's a low bun at the nape of the neck, that is. Harry Styles is wearing his man bun super high here, and honestly, most fans would probably agree that it's not his best hairstyle look! This outfit shows off his super slim figure since he's wearing skinny jeans, high-heeled ankle boots, a t-shirt, and a long jacket... and it's not horrible. Harry Styles has some, well, style (it's just too easy). If he had a low bun, it might have looked better. But unfortunately, if you're asking if he's hot or not in this particular photo, you probably have to go with no. Sorry Harry! You really are still beautiful and you should definitely keep your long hair. Just forget about the man bun and everything will be fine!
18 Ripped Jeans: Not
Look, ripped jeans are very stylish and trendy. No one is going to argue about that. The problem with this look is that the holes in these jeans around the knee area are kind of awkward and confusing. They just don't look like they belong there!
Okay, let's admit it: the shirt and jeans and boots that Harry is wearing in this picture don't work all that well together. We know that Harry loves wearing shirts like this and he often wears them pretty low-cut and shows off his attractive chest, but this particular shirt isn't really that nice. Let's just be real here. His hair is also at a pretty awkward length. If you're like most fans, you LOVE Harry's long hair and never want him to cut it. You would seriously cry if he did. So you would say that any photo of him with shorter hair is a total not. It's just the way that you feel (and you feel super strongly about it).
17 Rock Star: Hot
There is just SOMETHING about Harry when he's got messy and tousled long hair, a low-cut shirt that shows off his chest (and his tattoos), and a grin on his face. Something HOT, that is!
What guy can wear a necklace and look amazing? Harry, of course! He really knows how to wear accessories and he's done a great job here. Let's face it, when you look at this photo, you feel like you're staring right into his eyes and you're totally blushing. You know you are. You feel like he's staring into your soul and you're cool with it because he's just that beautiful. Yup, he's beautiful. That's really the only thing that comes to mind when you see his smiling face and his amazing hair. It's tough to see photos of him with shorter hair once you've seen how hot he is with longer locks, don't you think?! Sigh. Let's just stare at this photo a bit longer.
16 I Woke Up Like This: Not
This photo is a not but it's all good because it just proves that Harry is totally human and just like us!
Don't you wear sweats when you're going on a trip, are hanging out at home with Netflix, or, um, are doing anything at all? Yup, you reserve the right to wear sweatpants 24/7, and you do wear them quite often. So when you say that you're not a fan of this picture of Harry Styles wearing sweats, that's only because you know how good he looks when he's all dressed up! When you compare photos of him in sweats and in a fancier outfit, there is really no comparison. That's a good thing! It shows that he is super stylish and that's definitely an accomplishment. Money doesn't buy you class, as they say, and money doesn't buy you style either! But Harry definitely has style. Just not in sweats. Sorry.
15 Yellow Pants: Not
These pants are not good. Nope. There's no getting around that fact.
Even Harry Styles couldn't make these yellow pants look good, and that's saying something because he makes almost everything look good! But come on. These are FLARED. FLARED. You do give the guy credit, though, because it takes a very confident person to wear such brightly colored pants. It is pretty funny that he matches the wall in this photo, though! Also, let's talk about the fact that he's standing on a counter... and there are a ton of food and drinks and stuff around his feet? It's a pretty confusing photo, that's for sure. It's totally possible that this was a photo shoot and this was a particular aesthetic and so it was all done on purpose. And that's totally fair. Things like that are super subjective. Hey, you might even love these yellow pants! Just maybe not on Harry.
14 Purple Power: Not
NO ONE but Barney should wear this shade of purple. Don't you agree?!
That might sound like a very strong statement but we feel that strongly about purple. It's just not a shade that looks good on anyone. ANYONE. Even Harry Styles. So this really has nothing to do with him and has everything to do with this awkward color. Otherwise, he looks pretty good. He's got tousled hair (even if it's not quite as long as most fans would want it to be) and he's wearing glasses that make him look completely adorable. He's also wearing a ton of rings and while that might not look good on most people, he really works it. The overall look is classic Harry since he often wears shirts that are open and show off his chest and his signature necklace. If he had worn a shirt that was another shade or even white or black, it would have been hot.
13 Singing Pretty: Hot
This is the Harry Styles of your dreams. He's singing, he looks like he's truly in the moment, and he's clearly passionate about what he does. It makes you really want to see him perform and cross your fingers that he's going to tour with his recently released solo album and you can see him in person. And see how hot he looks in person. You have a feeling that he looks even hotter IRL than in his photos!
When you think of a rock star, this is totally what you picture! He's wearing a simple white t-shirt but manages to make it look like the most amazing, special, elegant, and sophisticated shirt ever. It's like no one has ever worn a simple white t-shirt before. That's how good he looks! He's also wearing a few bracelets and rings, which is cool with you since he is The King Of Accessories. That should be his unofficial title. Yup. It's been decided.
12 Styles In Sunglasses: Hot
This look totally works and it's totally hot.
It's hard to picture most guys looking good in this outfit, which is a shame because it's a really cool look, and he makes it work. He's got ripped skinny jeans on, ankle boots that he seems to love because he wears them pretty regularly, and a t-shirt. He also has some skinny bracelets which look great because he definitely knows how to accessorize! He's also wearing a bandana or scarf around his neck, which was a super risky style choice because it could have looked really bad, but it looks good on him! The sunglasses finish off the look and make him look like the celebrity that he clearly is. The fact that he's casually sitting on this stoop also makes him look cool and chic. Yup, Harry Styles is definitely hot in this photo, and it's hard to think that he could ever look bad when you look at this particular image!
11 Baby Blue: Hot
Some people might not love that Harry has a thing for low-cut tops and super long hair, but those people are wrong!
Just kidding. You have a right to your own opinion about Harry's style choices. Okay, we're half kidding. Because he really does look super good here! This shirt really shows off his awesome tattoos. Sometimes you can see them and other times, they are more hidden, but you get a great look at them here. He's got some on his chest and on his arm, and they honestly contribute to the whole hipster-meets-rocker-vibe that he's got going on. This is also a really cool and even pretty shirt. It's baby blue which is a great color and it's not a color that most people wear when you think about it. The shirt also has a cool pattern and is covered in tiny crosses. You hope that Harry wears this shirt again because you are onboard for sure. This gets your HOT vote!
10 White Shirt: Not
This is a NOT because it's just such a dull look. It's not hipster, it's not rocker chic, and it's not really that interesting or exciting. It's not that he looks really, really BAD or anything. It's just that he doesn't look that special. He looks very young here, which means that this photo must be a few years old, and since he's wearing some very cool and fashionable rings, that proves that he was beginning his style evolution. So you don't hate the whole look or anything. You just don't think that it's one of his best looks, and since it doesn't hold up that well compared to some of the other looks on this list, you have to go with a "not" vote.
His hair is also at a really awkward length, and it's a reminder of how awesome he looks with really long hair. So let's just forget that his hair was ever short and keep our fingers crossed that his hair will stay long forever and ever. Sounds good to us!
9 A Man And His Guitar: Hot
Is there anything sexier than a guy with a guitar?! If there is, you really have no idea what it would be!
Maybe it's because this photo screams "creativity" and proves that Harry Styles really is a rock star. Maybe it's because he just looks good. Maybe it's because a lot of singers simply, well, sing and don't play the guitar or any other instrument, so this proves that he has some serious talent. And it's great to know that a famous person has some real talent. It just makes you happy. Whatever the reason, this photo makes you fall in love with him even more, and that's saying something because you already loved him a lot before. He looks pretty great in these boots, skinny jeans, and blouse. He's the only male celebrity who can get away with wearing a blouse and look so good! This is one of your fave photos of Harry Styles performing for sure.
8 Shirtless: Hot
How can you NOT say this is hot?!
Seriously, Harry looks GOOD. You're probably swooning and also feeling a little bit hot and bothered when looking at this photo. It's almost like you're doing something wrong and infringing on his privacy, just by looking at this photo! But at the same time, you don't feel all that guilty because, again, he looks hot! This image is also pretty awesome since you get to see his tattoos on full display in all their glory. You wonder how he got those tattoos. Did he get one at a time? Did he get them all at once? These are the things that keep you up at night (just kidding... or maybe not!). His hair does look a bit too slicked back in this photo, but that's really the only issue that you have. Otherwise, everything else is perfection and you could definitely see a lot more photos of him looking this good shirtless!
7 Red Not So Hot: Not
This is the same issue as the purple shirt. Does ANYONE look good in an all-red suit? It's not that he looks horrible or anything like that. It's just that red is a tough color to look great in and so it might not be his best shade. You also have to admit that this is just not a style of clothing that you think works for him. It's a bit too fancy and formal for the star.
This was obviously for a photo shoot of some kind -- it's too posed for it to be a random, casual photo -- so that has to be taken into consideration. But most people would probably agree that they prefer Harry in more casual, chic, rock star-type clothing, like his low-cut shirts and ripped jeans and accessories. And messy long hair. Yup, that's another sad thing: his long hair is missing here! If only you could tell Harry that you really love his long hair and that you think that he owes it to his fans to never, ever, ever cut it. You wonder if he would listen. Hmmm.
6 One Man And A Baby: Hot
This outfit is not the greatest, so this would have been a NOT, BUT the baby saves him.
There is NOTHING hotter than a cute guy holding an adorable baby. It's seriously amazing. You just have to swoon when you see this because it proves that Harry is a really sweet, adorable guy. He's got a super cute smirk on his face which suits him and his cheeky personality. You wonder what was going through his head when this picture was taken. Was he swooning over how cute this baby was? Was he picturing the day when he becomes a father (which is probably still pretty far off in the future, although you never know!) and what that whole thing is going to be like? Let's face it, this is also the best photo ever because the baby has this "What's going on!?" look on their face and is also pretty fashionable.
5 Real Men Wear Pink: Hot
They say that real men wear pink, and Harry Styles looks good in pink!
This is a beautiful suit. It really and truly is. It looks like it was absolutely made for the celebrity because it fits him really well. He also looks so good because he's smiling big and looks like he's comfortable and really enjoying himself. The truth is confidence is the only way to look beautiful! That goes for both guys and girls and it's true whether you are famous or not. If you look insecure and uncomfortable all the time, guess what? You're not going to look attractive. It's true! So don't be awkward about owning your beauty and think of Harry Styles and his pink suit and big smile as your inspiration whenever you need a boost. Don't you just want to give Harry a great big hug when you see him smiling like this?! He looks so sweet and charming. Okay, you totally need to take a deep breath and calm down now!
4 Smoking: Not
Smoking is just not cool and it's never going to be hot.
Back in the day, aka a few decades ago, it was totally cool to smoke cigarettes. Your parents or grandparents might have told you that they used to smoke before they realized that it was super dangerous and unhealthy. You might have been shocked to learn that, but they didn't know that it was bad for them. It's hard when you see a picture of a celebrity smoking or even just holding a cigarette since it's kind of like they're saying that it's cool and okay to smoke. They are, after all, super public figures and a lot of people look up to them and want to do what they do. It can be argued that when you look at the fame game like that, stars have a huge responsibility. It's unclear if Harry really smokes or what is going on, but that's why you have to say this is a "not" look, and most would agree with that.
3 Patterned Suit: Not
Yes, Harry looks awesome in just about anything, including super tight and fitted suits. Yes, he looks good here because he's got a great body and most clothes fit him very well.
That being said, however, the pattern here is a bit too busy and ends up being a bit confusing. And that's why it's in the "not" category. This would have probably worked if only the jacket or the pants had this pattern, not both items of clothing, but hey, fashion is totally personal and subjective. You might love this look! And you have every right to feel this way. But it's possible that you agree that the print is pretty busy. Although his hair is long and that means that it's your favorite length, he has some blue streaks, and you're not so sure that color works on him. You like when he has long hair, of course, but you prefer when it's just his natural brunette color. Yup, you're picky! But hey, you can't help it. You take Harry's hair very seriously!
2 Black And White Beauty: Hot
How can you possibly say that this isn't a good look? Harry is in full rock star mode here and you are loving it!
The fact that this is a black and white photo just adds to the hotness factor. There's just something about a black and white image. If this was in full color, you would still think that the singer looked hot because this is such a great photo of him. But the black and white thing makes him look even better. This is just classic Harry Styles: tattooed arms, singing passionately, wearing a white t-shirt and black jeans. He really is great at putting simple, chic outfits together. You wish that your boyfriend would dress like this but you don't think that it's going to happen. That's okay. You're going to keep majorly crushing on Harry Styles (but you might keep it a secret from your BF for obvious reasons. Yup, you're going to).
1 Red Checks: Not
Here's the final Harry Styles look that makes you ask, does he look hot or not in this photo? You have to go with "not" because you're not a big fan of this red checkered pattern. You're just not.
If you're thinking that this is a pattern that you see on tablecloths, you're not alone there! That really is what this pattern reminds you of. You're not surprised that Harry would wear this, though, since this is in line with his love of patterns and suits. He really seems up for anything when it comes to fashion. But again, you LOVE when he's got his rock star vibe going on and he's got long hair, accessories, and a simple t-shirt and jeans look. So you're just going to keep looking at photos of him wearing that stuff and you're just going to keep dreaming that he's your secret boyfriend. Wait, did you say that out loud?!
