Today Mr Harry Styles is celebrating his 27th birthday. He’s been a fave of ours – and his slew of celebrity friends – since he was a wee One Directioner. While touring with his former band, Harry wore Michael Sam’s NFL jersey to support the first openly gay athlete to play in the league. His fans often fly rainbow flags at his concerts, where he has also helped a fan come out to their family. (Get to know him a little better with these essential facts.) But just in case you needed them, here are a few more reasons we love Harry…

He’s liberated by fashion
At THE ICONIC, we believe in the liberating power of fashion. Proof that we can all wear anything we like, whenever we like, it looks like Harry agrees with us that fashion should be whatever makes you feel like your best self.
Need further proof? Here he is smashing the status quo.

His music spreads joy
Not to mention kindness, in a time when the world really needs it. Especially his latest one ‘Treat People With Kindness’.

He’s tattoo inspo personified
From skeletons to swallows to mermaids, coat hangers to stars, his pirate-esque ink is giving us body art ideas.
