What better time to reminiscence about Harry Styles’s humble sartorial beginnings than on the day of his 22nd birthday? The One Direction member hasn’t always worn printed suits and pussy blouses with the swagger of Jagger — let us not forget the sweatpants onesies, stuffed-animal hats, and graphic tees of yore. In the slideshow below, see all of the musician’s dreamiest looks, from the infamous Ikea-esque Gucci number he wore to the American Music Awards to the evolution of a hairstyle that won the hearts of tweens and moms alike.
