Why does Harry Styles wear so many rings? It’s a simple question that should have a simple answer. But does it? Is there a deeper meaning behind the charms he keeps around his fingers, or are they merely expressions of his gifted accessorization? Are they a fashion statement, or are they just to make him look cool?
There are actually several answers to what seems like such a simple question. For one thing yes, Harry Styles is fashionable and loves to accessorize. But some also believe that he is a brand ambassador for Gucci and therefore has an obligation to wear their products (he is rarely seen without one Gucci product on). He also proudly transcends gender norms and is unafraid of wearing things that are taboo for cis men to wear, especially if it means shutting down haters, like Candace Owens, or other conservative pundits who can't fathom the idea that a boy can wear a dress and still be considered incredibly desirable to women.
So, why does Harry Styles wear so many rings? Let’s find out.
7 Harry Styles Is Famously Fashionable
Gracing the November 2020 cover of Vogue, Harry Styles set off a wave of backlash from conservative pundits who abhorred him for rejecting traditional gender roles. Harry Styles is well-known for a fashion sense which breaks the lines between genders. While some might think it is “not manly” to wear a ring these days, Harry Styles has never concerned himself with what is manly or unmanly, but only what looks good. Let's be honest, one is hardpressed to find a contemporary male singer as fashionable as Styles.
6 Harry Styles’ Fashion Sense Is About Raw Self Expression
Why does Harry Styles wear so many rings? Well, why did he wear a dress on the cover of Vogue? Why does he wear blouses to his concerts or skirts to the Met Galas?
Simply put, it is because being fashionable isn't just about wearing what is trendy, it is about setting the trends. Fashion icons like Harry Styles set trends by dressing loudly, proudly, and unapologetically the way they feel like dressing. No fashion icon broke boundaries without also expressing themselves. Styles supports total and radical forms of self-expression and his bold fashion choices demonstrate that.
5 Harry Styles Doesn’t Care What Haters Think
As mentioned before, rings are sort of considered “unmanly” by some people these days, even though plenty of "macho" men, like sports champions and college graduates, wear rings honoring their teams or their graduating classes. But again, these are masculine, more traditional reasons to wear a ring, and Harry Styles is far from a traditionalist. Harry Styles received an intense amount of hate from people like Candace Owens and Fox News host Tucker Carlson just for wearing a dress, so a few eye rolls at his accessories are nothing to him.
4 Some Of Harry Styles' Rings Are Sentimental
It’s not all just fashion and appearances, some of Style’s jewelry choices have a sentimental value to them. One ring, a square portrait of a bird, Harry Styles wears to honor his love of nature. He also can be frequently seen wearing rings bearing his initials, of which copies are readily available on Etsy stores.
3 Harry Styles Is A Brand Ambassador For Gucci, Maybe
Harry Styles also wears rings to represent his favorite brands, as he is most frequently seen sporting Gucci. While it has not been confirmed, some believe that Harry Styles is a brand ambassador for Gucci, in any case he has modeled for them. Among his many rings, Styles is rarely seen without at least one of his Gucci pieces on his finger. Fun fact: Harry Styles has a matching Gucci ring with fellow pop star Miley Cyrus.
2 Harry Styles Likes To Break Taboos About Gender And Fashion
It cannot be stressed enough how progressive Harry Styles is when it comes to fashion. He wore the dress that broke the internet in 2020 and he is spotted wearing skirts and blouses all the time. Plus, when one thinks about it, there really isn't anything manly or unmanly about wearing a ring, they are just rings. Harry Styles dresses the way he does to remind us that clothes and jewelry have no gender, that just because a few small-minded people need to put people in boxes doesn't mean you have to stay in the box they pick for you.
1 He Doesn’t Owe Anyone An Explanation
Lastly, Harry Styles really doesn't owe anyone an explanation for why he wears rings, or why he wears anything for that matter. Harry Styles chooses to be a part of the fashion world, that is true, and that means people will scrutinize what he wears more than others. However, no one should have to explain why they dress the way they do to anyone. Harry Styles can wear rings, put on dresses, or walk around in pajama bottoms and a sweatshirt if he wanted to. What people wear and why is really no one’s business but their own.
