For Harry Styles fans, concerts are their personal fashion extravaganza. Harry Styles’ rescheduled “Love on Tour” (finally) kicked off in early September, and has quickly become a fashion event for his fans as they take to social media to share their “outfit reveals,” basking in the artist’s liberating presence as an icon for self-expression. From August 15-September 30, #hslotoutfit on TikTok garnered over 37 million views in the U.S., growing from less than 10,000 video views per day to an average of 1.5 million per day. Nissy Simao, a 23-year-old L.A.-based social media producers notes, “People joke and say that one, [Styles] concerts aren’t even concerts anymore, they’re fashion shows, and two, the fans dress better than him at this point.” Instagram is also a Styles-inspired fashion hub, and the @hslotfashionhq account (run by an L.A.-based college student) is a fast-growing point of fashion inspiration for young fans on the platform, counting 12.9k followers.
