After being mocked for his feminine outfits, English singer and song-writer, Harry Styles is fighting back.
The pictures from his U.S Vogue magazine cover had earned the former One Direction star knocks on social media.
In one of the pictures, the singer appears wearing a frilly suit while eating a banana.
Joining the fray of Harry‘s shamers, American conservative author and activist, Candace Owens said it was time to “bring back manly men”.
“There is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminisation of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence. It is an outright attack. Bring back manly men,” she tweeted.
Reacting to the bashing of his shoot, Harry shared the picture of his powder blue frilly suit and added a terse caption; “Bring back manly men.”
However, this proves the singer is not only confident but comfortable in his own skin.
The picture was taken by Parker Woods as part of a shoot for Harry’s interview with Variety.
Speaking about his choice to wear “female” clothing and the “blurred lines” of gender, the singer said: “To not wear something because it’s female’ clothing, you shut out a whole world of great clothes.
“And I think what’s exciting about right now is you can wear what you like. It does’t have to be X or Y. Those lines are becoming more and more blurred.”

Harry who made history as the first ever solo male cover star of the American version of Vogue also admitted he always admired women clothing styles.
“Clothes are there to have fun with and experiment with and play with. What’s really exciting is that all of these lines are just kind of crumbling away,” he said.
“When you take away ‘There’s clothes for men and there’s clothes for women,’ once you remove any barriers, obviously you open up the arena in which you can play. I’ll go in shops sometimes, and I just find myself looking at the women’s clothes thinking they’re amazing.”
He added: “It’s like anything—anytime you’re putting barriers up in your own life, you’re just limiting yourself. There’s so much joy to be had in playing with clothes. I’ve never really thought too much about what it means—it just becomes this extended part of creating something.”
