#up way too late again bc sleep evades me #and harry is harry skdkfjkfkff i stayed up late enough to see the pics begin to roll in and i was done for ffsddffff #so we’re gonna #tag rant #about the seeming emergence of this fun silhouette thing we got goin on. or: the one where #meg yells about harry styles and his big pants again. #i love the idea of uniformity in his tour fits i kind of hope that sticks around #but i keep looking at pics of him in tonight’s particular outfit and kind of ln’s as well and i’m really really #struck by how conservative they are in terms of coverage. like his chest is out sure (a lil) but those pants are loose as fuck bro. #and how bright and attention grabbing they are in terms of color and pattern #but also so simple and clean like just cream pants lilac shirt. red pants striped shirt. even pink pants pink glittersparkles there's not #many moving parts to the fits they hold attention but they're not busy or chaotic all of which is certainly purposeful tension #and purposeful contrast. it's like. the clothes are loose and substantial enough for people not to focus first on his body #there are peeks of his body that you notice later but the clothes demand attention first they're just like. kind of commanding? there's #so much fabric and they're so richly colored #and they're loud and beautiful enough to invite people talking about them exactly as we are doing and always do #and yet the silhouette is so demure? #it’s like he’s exhibiting the clothes almost. like LOOK WHAT IM WEARING LOOK HOW BEAUTIFULLY MADE LOOK AT THIS FABRIC ITS STUNNING #and of course he's wanting us to look at him not just the clothes right he's harr after all but idk something about these outfits #suggests to me a desire to be looked at more softly. and ofc not to speak for him never to speak for him but it #almost seems like he's trying to get us to see *him* dancing and glittering in the clothes before we see the body that's wearing them. #and i don't feel like it's the first time he's asked for that through clothes either #and not to like. i don't want to project too much of my own shit onto harry here but. #keeping the same silhouette with shifting colors and also having that silhouette be basic and simple and high coverage #feels like a move i’d make if i wanted people to focus on me in place of *~**me~~** the fabricated outer shell version and well #at least to me that feels really congruent with certain lyric changes and the way he seems to just. want to be known. #not consumed through sight and visibility but known. #OR MAYBE I'MJUST TALKING ABOUT ME AGAIN skdfjksjfkjsd who the fuck knows #tw body image
