'I wore some Adidas campers because they are Harry's trainer'Sophie Hill, 23, from Manchester, sourced every part of her outfit second-hand to see Harry Styles during the UK leg of Love On Tour , inspired by Harry himself.
" I wore some Adidas campers that I got off Vinted, because they are 'Harry's trainer' and they are pink, which was The Colour of The Concert , " She Said . " I paired that with my feather boa from his last tour. "
Sophie found a following on TikTok, visiting various charity shops as she looked for the perfect outfit, and gave fans suggestions from what she bought.
The Videos have clocked up More Than 1. 5 million views.
" There's a colour aspect to it, the red the pink. Then there are patterns, anything heart-printed, all the fruits. The strawberries, the cherries, the watermelons, the kiwis - because he names a lot of fruits in his songs. "
Sophie says Harry Styles started the trend of hardcore concert dressing, with a little help from TikTok.
" Harry wore a feather boa to the Grammies, a fan copied, The World of TikTok took it and it became a thing. "

The Bbc is not responsible for the content of external sites.She says this summer's wave of concert dressing dates back to the 60s.
" Fans of bands like The Beatles or The Rolling Stones would often mimic their looks, " She Said . " While in The 70S and 80s, fans reflected punk artists through ripped jeans and custom Leather Jackets . "
Rosanna says a lot goes into styling A Band and that artists like Harry Styles , Taylor Swift , Beyoncé and SZA are just the latest to do it and do it well.
" You need to look at The Artist 's music, lyrics, personal style, their evolving image and The Essence of The Tour .
" Fans are noticing this, Swifties are taking inspiration from the glimmering haze of her newest album Midnights, to The Vintage dresses and cowboy boots evoking nostalgia of Swift's early country roots. "
'Fans want to feel part of The Tour 'Rosanna believes that as well as Social Media , factors like the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis have played their part in the influx of feather boas and cowboy hats.
" After extended periods of social isolation and The Rising cost of living, fans are looking to maximise their experience, and dressing up in homage to their favourite artists is part of this experience. They want to feel part of The Tour And Then share it online with other fans. "
Marion Moumpala, 27, from Manchester, did exactly this when dressing for Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour, sharing her experience on TikTok, and documenting fans' outfits in Sunderland.
" With the cost of living These Days , any experience that we invest in we want to enjoy to the fullest, and I feel like dressing up is definitely part of it, " She Said .
