One Direction Shows Us Their Style Onstage And Off
Yes, it's true: the boys of One Direction are our December/January cover stars! A lot has changed since Harry, Zayn, Niall, Louis, and Liam were contestants on the U.K. version of The X Factor. Their meteoric rise to stardom over the past couple of years has been documented in the studio, as well as on the red carpet.
From their very first public appearance to their latest performance, take a look at the boy band's oft-coordinated (and swoon-worthy) style.
1/25You've seen the covers, now take a walk down memory lane and check out all of the boys' best looks.
2/25In November of 2010, the boys made their first red carpet outing at the Pride of Britain Awards. They had not yet discovered the joy of the skinny pant.
3/25So many blazers! And are you wondering about their red pins? They're actually poppies, and they commemorate war veterans on Britain's Remembrance Day.
4/25We are totally down with the color variety of these suits, as well as the skinny ties.
5/25Two things 1D loves: striped shirts and sneakers.
6/25While strolling in London, the boys go casual. (Also, clever shirt, Zayn!)
7/25Ah, the color coordination begins! Up first: maroon and navy.
8/25And gray and cerulean!
9/25Niall pulls a Bieber in a purple hoodie, while Zayn sports some contrast sleeves.
10/25And bright red, white, and blue!
11/25A more formal complementary color situation, in beige and gray.
12/25In March of this year, the guys started to really develop their own looks, resulting in jeans and sneakers for Liam, a varsity jacket for Zayn, a polo for Niall, suspenders for Louis, and a T-shirt under a blazer for Harry.
13/25The boys looked polished-yet-casual in khakis and cream tones at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.
14/25One Direction goes green for St. Patrick's Day in sporty attire. We especially appreciate Niall and Harry's leprechaun-worthy kicks.
15/25The first red carpet spotting of Zayn's specs!
16/25While they all match (of course), Harry stands out in a baby blue jacket and bow tie.
17/25If you've seen the 1D in concert this year, you've probably seen them in these, their go-to performance outfits.
18/25This is what they wore before winning three MTV Video Music Awards.
19/25The boys dressed in theme for the Men in Black premiere in New York, even accessorizing with what we'll pretend are alien blasters.
20/25And this is what they wore after.
21/25And in the spirit of winning, we would like to award some individual style superlatives! Harry obviously wins Best Denim on Denim.
22/25Zayn takes home Best Glasses.
23/25Though Niall wins Best Overall Accessories for his baseball-hat-sunglasses-guitar combo.
24/25And Liam brings it home with Best Use of Plaid.
25/25Louis? Best Collar.
