Here Comes The Style: George Harrison-inspired summer outfits for everyone

When it comes to quiet cool, no one nailed it quite like George Harrison. While the “shy Beatle” may have preferred to stay out of the spotlight, he certainly didn’t shy away from bold fashion choices. His wardrobe reflected an effortless blend of flower power, rock’n’roll classics, and timeless vintage charm. Beyond leaving behind a legendary musical legacy through songs like Here Comes The Sun, Something, and My Sweet Lord, George also left us with a treasure trove of fashion inspiration. 

Honestly, this article could go on forever, because, in my humble opinion, he never missed. But for now, let’s tap into some iconic looks that anyone can easily incorporate into their summer wardrobe.

Whether you want to be there AND be square, or see the world through heart-shaped glasses, don’t shy away from playful eyewear! Hopefully, the sun will come again, and you shouldn’t just protect your eyes, but also add a statement accessory to your outfit. They come in all shapes and sizes, and George may have just worn all of them – from sharp rectangulars to round frames. You can even add to the fun and get coloured lenses – orange and green are good choices if you truly want to embody the 60’s vibe. Because why not?

Next up, it wouldn’t be a George Harrison style guide without the iconic Canadian Tuxedo moment from the ‘Abbey Road’ album cover. Denim-on-denim is kind of a fashion flex if you ask me, and if you think you can’t pull it off, think again. You don’t even necessarily have to stick to the classic jacket and jeans combo. Perhaps opt for a denim jumpsuit or a pair of vintage-style dungarees, which George wore a lot during his post-Beatle years. Add a pair of sneakers or leather sandals to finish it off, and you get a really cool laid-back and timeless look.

Despite his more reserved persona, George Harrison had a thing for patterns – whether that was in the form of paisley shirts, florals or full-on psychedelic patterned trousers. Printed shirts were often layered under a denim or knitted vest, or even with said dungarees. It’s all about embracing different textures, contrasts, and colours to give you some groovy edge with a lot of personality.

Whether you’re dressing for a music festival, a city stroll, or just trying to bring more colour into your everyday life, George has got you covered. This article really only covered a handpicked selection of ideas you can take from his fashion choices, but I encourage you to dive deeper! Even in his more casual moments, George always brought a little excitement through contrasting textures and knew never to underestimate the power of a good accessory.

After all, it has been a long, cold, lonely winter… and with the sun finally coming through, it’s time to let your style shine just as much.
