Clothes for the Closet - The Harry Styles Edition



As we all know, celebrity closets can become quite stuffy and dingy over time. Vibrant, flair-filled performers, once known for their flash and fashionable appearance can turn into a dreary apparition overnight. Oftentimes, the simple explanation for these mysterious transformations have less to do with natural changes in taste and fancy, and much more to do with smoke and mirror deceptions. After all, if you look the same, you no longer stand out in a crowd, and your public outings become more difficult to place in time.  One sameness devalues the sighting in addition to confusing the viewer as to where the celebrity was and when the moment in time occurred. A perfect technique to conceal and cloak.



Harry Styles' summer "uniform," circa 2016: 






Some selected examples of Jake Gyllenhaal's infamous green cargo pants ensemble, circa 2011-2016:
 






Note: I held off on providing too many instances of Toothy's attire because there simply is not enough space or time, or frankly, will power to upload them all.  If you know what I mean? LOL! 

On this laid back Sunday afternoon, without a care in the world, let's play a game of spot the difference and decide just what these two men might have in common. Let's think really hard.

Sorry, Lima Bean. My post knocked you off the front page. I promise we shall give you a place of honor soon. That is when you stop being so loved up with Cheryl F, Simon's latest contractual stunt.

Now, here is an example of how to use clothes to reveal exactly what you’re thinking about a certain control freak named Simon Cowell who “asked” you to be on his new TV venture called America’s Got Talent to fool the general public into thinking that all is well in Syco-land.

Sometimes the clothes do make the man. Love the message, Louis!

Louis Tomlinson’s Fashion Sense, AGT July 19, 2016

That's a great post, M&M. Very well done! It's something to see Harry doing the same thing that Jake's been doing for years, wearing a 'uniform'.

Do you reckon Tom Hiddleston will also develop a 'uniform'? Not sure how many folks have seen that business going around. I myself cannot believe Hiddleston went there, but he sure did. He not only went there, he took a rocket ship there! We've already had a "meet the parents" photo op. Wow.

Between him and Rooney Mara, I'm just really surprised because those two actors always struck me as being very serious about their craft and you didn't see Tom Hiddleston on Just Jared that much. Rooney Mara, you would see once in awhile. She and her sister Kate are on Just Jared semi-regularly, I would say.

There's a Rooney Mara being seen on Just Jared walking on a sidewalk and then there's Jennifer Garner / Julianne Hough on Just Jared scratching their nose daily post. You know what I mean? LOL!

I guess that James Bond series means everything to Hiddleston.

OOOOOoooooh, I'm dangerous and obsessive with the playing around with the background colors. LOVE the periwinkle!!! lol. Hopefully it doesn't look too girlie, but isn't it pretty???! :-)

And what kind of closet is that? It looks more like a kitchen to me. Can you imagine having a closet where your Corp. Challenge pedometer can get in a few hundred steps in?

I'm watching Maycee the Weimaraunar and her sister Lizzie, the chocolate brown Pomeranian mix all week. (Here they are when we were out on the back "lanai" Maycee and Lizzie on the lanai ) We had a brief but heckuva storm yesterday afternoon and it knocked the electricity out. We lost power and then I had to try and locate the circuit breaker box but had to get in touch with their parents to do so. THEN it was trying to figure out the sound bar so I could get sound again and these electronics are just very complicated.

Yeah I finally made it on.

prairiegirl said...

Hey Tom!!!!

Woohoo, great to see you, buddy! You sure did.

Florida Tom said...

For Jake I think at first it was about butchubg up but then became more of a way to blend in after Reeks. There is set some similiarities between what Jake and Harry are doing but Harry seems to still be able to smoke. Jake was miserable. Jake was never the same with the public after Reeks.

Methodical Muser said...


Hi, Tom:

I'm so glad you've stopped by. Hope you're having a wonderful summer.

Florida Tom said...

I hate my new phone the spell check makes me crazy. The word smoke should be smile. Butchubg should be butching up

prairiegirl said...

LOL - I was wondering what Butchbug was.

I was tweeting with a twitter friend tonight and I swear I typed Hiddleston, but my phone made it Huddleston. grrrr

Methodical Muser said...


Reeks! I love it, Tom.

Harry seems to still be able to smoke.

LOL! I thought you meant that at least he is still smokin' hot. Whereas Jake, on the other hand, does like to embrace the grumpy cat look now and then.

Methodical Muser said...


Nice shirt, Jake:

Made in California

prairiegirl said...

Awwww and a quite young Jake there, too, M & M. Just think, at that time, he had no idea how his life was going to change.
:-)

prairiegirl said...

You notice that in most of these pictures, both guys have their noggin covered? M&M, does Harry normally cover his head up? I notice he's got a beanie on in a couple of those pics.

Who started that nonsense of the beanie for guys, anyway? Don't tell me they're all having bad hair days like Jared Padalecki, lol. Is it just to cover up the length? The color? So the picture can't be time stamped?


So, I'm seeing all over Eric Hosmer's Twitter search that he is single again, which must mean he's "broken up" with his beard, Kacie McDonnell, the pro sports power beard. And I just searched Google on Hos and found this site called talk-sports.net and there's a whole thread on Hos and whether or not he's broken up with his girlfriend. And these folks are obsessing over how long he's acknowledged her on Instagram? And why on earth would people think that's a measure of whether a relationship is still on or not? Hello, they have cell phones if they're not under the same roof. IF they're a real couple, which I don't think Hos and Kacie were at all.

She shows ALL the signs of being a power beard. Watch, she's going to move on to another high profile professional athlete. How about the NBA, Kacie?

And someone on that thread are saying Hos cheated on her with girls in KC parking garages? How do they know that? SMDH. They've always got to make it so that the closeted guy is a real "woman hound", don't they? #Jake #Harry

That was kind of a short contract for those 2. So now all the Kansas City gals are rejoicing because Hos is "single". Lol. Sorry, gals, I don't think you've got what's going to hook him, I'm just sayin'.

And Hos is such a nice guy. He is a real class act and a leader. He's very active in charities and look what those fake account comments are trying to do to him. Grrrrrrrrr.

prairiegirl said...

All anon comments look at that

^^ Look at that. They're all anon comments. Who are the folks behind all of those? Ridiculous.

**Kevin McAlister dance** **Kevin McAlister dance**

Woohooooo, I did it, I did it, yea yea yea!!!!!!

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!


Music!!♪♫♪ And Bobby Caldwell at that!!!!!

That was so EASY!!!

prairiegirl said...

Now I suppose if you can't stand old swing music, you COULD hit the Stop button, but don't do that! Give Bobby a chance. He's incredible. Nah, I'm just kidding. You can hit Stop if you don't like it. lol. :-(

This is going to be so FUN. Got all kinds of great ideas for music. Bobby Darin for M&M. Some Motown for Tom. You guys can let me know if you like a certain artist. Then I'll give it a thumbs up or thumbs down. Nooo!!! LOL! Just kidding.

Might even play a Florence & the Machine in honor of ol' Austy. Not sure about Jake. He likes all that hard rap and my Wiki player does not know how to do hard rap, lol. Nope, sorry. Drawing the line there.

Sorry for the bit of self indulgence there, I'm just so excited!!! Ok, I'm off.

You've got to play something from Death Cab for Cutie in honor of one of Jake and Austin's concert dates back in August, 2006. Remember the one where Austin was on crutches?

Comments from real time post, 10 years ago:

-yep, we saw him there. he was like 3 rows behind us. in all black, hat, shirt, and jeans. with a guy in crutches. so hot, dancing up a storm. yummmm!.
-Saw him there backstage with his date, some guy in crutches.
-he was there. actually was dancing to the beat! he's quite good and much cuter in person. the guy on crunches was austin nichols... when the slow songs were playing, jake was holding up his blackberry for someone on the other line to hear...
- Saw Austin and Jake at the concert and they were mighty fine lookin. They were most certainly on a date and Jake was swaying to the music and kept looking at Austin. Wish I had had my camera becuz I wanted a photograph of the two hot men on a date.

The Larrie Fandom Responds to the Question, “Do you think this could lead to a paternity test?

Methodical Muser said...


M&M, does Harry normally cover his head up? I notice he's got a beanie on in a couple of those pics.

No, not really. Back during the X-Factor days and for a few years afterwards he did. Maybe 2010-2012. But, not so much anymore. I think Harry is wearing a beanie in those photos partly because of his movie role in Chris Nolan's, Dunkirk. He's playing a British WWII soldier so he had to naturally cut his beautiful flowing locks for the film.

Then again, Harry could also be trying to hide the length of his hair with some strategic head cover because, as you suggest, it would be much easier to place him in time, if we saw how long or short his hair is now. Louis, in fact, recently started wearing a beanie again in Los Angeles (where it's been quite hot), when several fans noticed that pictures supposedly taken on consecutive days, could not have been taken within a 48 time frame because his hair was so much longer in one of the photos. Darn those watchful fans are just too observant sometimes! *grin*

prairiegirl said...

"Freddie Reign".

LOLLLLLLL. That still just kills me.

While I am reluctant to commit to getting excited just yet, I will say that the use of People and Just Jared on this story is to be noted.

I can't wait until it's finally all over. Poor Louis really deserves a break after all of this.

Thanks so much for bringing all of the updates, M&M. :-)
