Louis Tomlinson is sequestered in the executive boardroom of a swanky hotel in suburban London, and is treating it the way a pupil might a classroom when the teacher’s popped out. He’s leaning back on his chair, feet up on a radiator, hands clasped behind his head and a cigarette on the go. “All right?” he says, grinning impishly.

Despite huge global success with One Direction (70 million albums sold), which prompted a fanaticism that made Beatlemania look tame, he seems remarkably unaffected and far more normal than one might expect from someone with 35.8 million Twitter followers. He’s a 31-year-old so unassumingly bloke-next-door that the bloke next door wouldn’t look twice.

“I’ve always had a problem with ‘ego’,” he says, “and I’ve always been worried about being one of those people in the public eye who just loses all sense of reality, and becomes an arsehole.” As if by way of explanation, he adds: “I’m from Doncaster.”

And so while his former 1D bandmate Harry Styles, a superstar, floats through life like the fashion world’s favourite clothes horse, Tomlinson kits himself out in JD Sports: Kappa T-shirt, black sweatpants, Adidas socks, scuffed trainers. When he tells you he often frequents his local pub unmolested, you believe him.

“If someone does come up after an hour to ask for a selfie, I won’t say no and I won’t run away,” he says, “’specially if I’m three pints deep!”

Of the five members of 1D, Tomlinson has had the slowest start to a solo career. There are compelling reasons for this — family tragedy for one — but he’s also had to figure out who he is without the band around him. “With this job,” he says, “there’s so much room for overthinking, you know? Someone from the record label will tell you they like your stuff, but you find yourself thinking: yeah, but do they? It’s the fans that help you really believe in yourself.”

In the band, Zayn Malik had the best voice and Styles had the best everything else. While the other three — Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan — were hardly driftwood, each has nevertheless had to dig deep to carve out a solo persona that would compel beyond the bubble.

“I do miss the boys,” he says, “and I do definitely miss being one of the five, but I like doing my own thing too. It was time.”

It’s a bright winter’s day, and the man in sports casual is enjoying special dispensation here in the hotel: permission to light up. Had this been denied, there might well have been a problem, for Tomlinson chain-smokes with the wild abandon of Mad Men’s Don Draper.

After the release of his second solo album, Faith in the Future, in November, he adds another necessary notch in the belt of any self-respecting pop star next month: the documentary. All of Those Voices is a routine behind-the-scenes look at 21st-century celebrity but stands out for the multiple crises of confidence Tomlinson feels any time he’s not on stage.

“This is a confidence game for anyone,” he says earnestly, “and there’s been plenty of moments of vulnerability throughout the entire process.” An overriding concern of the documentary is not just whether people would be interested in him, but whether they’d take him, someone discovered on a TV talent show, seriously.

When Styles won his Grammy awards this month — he collected two and won four Brits — he used his acceptance speech to say that “this doesn’t happen to people like me very often”. This was swiftly ridiculed across social media because of course white men tend to win quite a lot. But what he likely meant was that it doesn’t happen to the product of manufactured boy bands, many of whom have the use-by date of a pint of milk.

“Only Harry knows what he means there, it’s hard to speculate,” Tomlinson says, “but we all came from relatively humble beginnings, and now we are where we are.”

But while Styles is a once-in-a-generation talent and knows it, his erstwhile bandmates — and this one in particular — need convincing.

Louis Tomlinson comes from a big family — his mother, Johannah Deakin, married twice and had seven children — and was a hopeful child actor before in 2010 auditioning for The X Factor. This is where 1D were created, “masterminded” by Louis Walsh. Deakin, who had Tomlinson when she was 19, was his biggest fan and they’d always been close. When, for example, Tomlinson lost his virginity, it was she he told first, not his friends.

In 2016, a year after One Direction split, she died from leukaemia, aged 42. Two years later, his 18-year-old sister, Félicité, who’d been struggling to get over her mother’s death, accidentally overdosed on cocaine, painkillers and an anxiety drug. The combined loss hit him hard. Aside from the single he wrote about his mother’s passing, 2020’s Two of Us, his mourning has been largely private.

He squints through a veil of cigarette smoke. “Some of the things that have happened recently have been quite drastic, yeah, but then so much in my life seems to have been pretty extreme, one way or the other.” In 2016, at the age of 25, a brief relationship with a Californian stylist, Briana Jungwirth, resulted in a son. “There’ve been challenging times, definitely. It’s funny, but I couldn’t even tell you how many years ago my mum passed, I just blank it out. But for the first 18 months, I’d take any form of bad luck personally. I’d feel every tiny thing. But now I genuinely feel I’ve come out the other side. I feel more empathy for everything and everyone these days.”

After his 2020 debut album, Walls, failed to set the world alight, Tomlinson called time on his relationship with Simon Cowell. “It was mostly amicable,” he says, nodding. “Simon always had my best interests at heart, and I liked him. He had his faults of course, like all of us, but it was always inevitable I’d have to go off and do my own thing.”

His new record, then, was a leap into the unknown and he elected to write not with professional songwriters but rather fellow creative artists: Theo Hutchcraft from the band Hurts, Joe Cross from the Courteeners and the singer-songwriter James Vincent McMorrow. “And that was a big difference, huge. These are people who live and breathe music. It’s the first time I felt really comfortable doing my own stuff, you know?”

Previously he’d been encouraged to sing like a nice young pop star should, without regional inflection. “When I was in the band,” he says, “working with professional songwriters whose entire aim was to write the hit single, they’d tell me that singing in my natural accent wasn’t commercial. Sorry, but what a shit idea! Who wants to sound like everybody else? I dumbed down a little bit in the band, because you do, but I’ve learnt who I am now.”

The album, which has its inspiration firmly in early Noughties indie, sounds more Kaiser Chiefs than One Direction. A risk, then. But when it came out, it debuted at No 1. While this did wonders for his confidence, it’s clear from the documentary that he still needs people — a support group — around him. He actively courts the friendship of his touring band, not necessarily a given among solo pop stars, and he seems almost always sociable. It’s when he’s not up for group activity that people worry. There’s a revealing moment in the documentary of him having just appeared on James Corden’s US talk show. Backstage Corden, an old friend, pleads with him not to go quiet on him afterwards. “You vanish, you change your number, no one knows [where you are],” he says.

Until recently Tomlinson lived in London with his long-term girlfriend, the model Eleanor Calder, but recent reports suggest they’ve split up and he’s dating another model, Sofie Nyvang. Life, clearly, is complicated. Perhaps that’s why he smokes so much. He says, though, that he feels finally relieved of the myriad pressures that once clung to being a pop star whose fanbase was predominantly teenage. Such as?

“Well, being a role model for one. I never wanted that. I always had to worry whether it was OK if, say, I was seen here or if I could get away with smoking a joint there, before concluding: hmm, probably not. But I never wanted to be the perfect pop star, especially in the climate of Instagram. I don’t want to put an artificial world out there. I think it’s important that people see your scars, your flaws.”

It’s never easy growing up in public and Tomlinson had no choice. “When One Direction split up,” he says, “I was mortified, I was absolutely gutted. I was a bit bitter, I suppose because it just felt like another loss to me. But I’ve a better understanding of things now, and there’s not as much anger. It is what it is.

“Getting back together at some point is hard to imagine right now,” he continues, “but I’d be surprised if we lived out our lives and didn’t have a moment where we had a reunion, or whatever you want to call it. I’d be up for that.”

When I ask what it’s like watching Styles’s ascendance into the biggest star of his generation — something that might delay such a reunion — he blows out a long plume of smoke.

“Well, it’s not a surprise is it? We were always aware that Harry fit that mould, and it’s been an amazing thing to watch. Envy? At the start maybe, when I was trying to find my feet, but it’s never healthy to cross-reference your own success with others is it? These days I’m learning to elevate myself in those moments when I have to. I didn’t know how to do that before, but now? Now I know I f***ing can.” All of Those Voices is in cinemas from March 22,  allofthosevoices.com

Top Trends in Men’s Streetwear Fashion for Millennials

Streetwear has grown from a niche subculture to a dominant force in men’s fashion, particularly among millennials. Defined by its mix of casual, urban, and edgy styles, streetwear continues to evolve, offering endless opportunities for self-expression. In this article, we explore the top trends shaping men’s streetwear fashion today.

The Rise of Oversized Silhouettes

Oversized clothing has become a hallmark of modern streetwear. Hoodies, t-shirts, and jackets in relaxed fits dominate the scene, offering both comfort and a bold statement.

This trend reflects a break from traditional tailoring, allowing millennials to embrace individuality. Pairing oversized tops with slim-fit pants or shorts creates a balanced, stylish look. Accessories like chunky sneakers or bucket hats can elevate this aesthetic further.

Vintage-Inspired Streetwear

Nostalgia plays a significant role in millennial fashion, and vintage-inspired streetwear is trending. From retro graphic tees to 90s-inspired denim, this style blends old-school charm with contemporary vibes.

Brands are reimagining classic designs with a modern twist, making it easy to integrate vintage elements into daily wear. Distressed jeans, varsity jackets, and old-school sneakers like Adidas Superstars or Nike Air Jordans are popular choices.

Bold Colors and Patterns

Gone are the days when streetwear was limited to monochromatic tones. Today, millennials are embracing bold colors and patterns to stand out. Vibrant neon hues, tie-dye prints, and abstract graphics have become central to streetwear fashion.

The key to rocking this trend is balance. A brightly patterned shirt can be paired with neutral-toned trousers or vice versa. For those less inclined toward bold styles, subtle pops of color in accessories, like a cap or sneakers, can make an impact.

Utility-Inspired Fashion

Functionality meets fashion with the rise of utility-inspired streetwear. Cargo pants, utility vests, and jackets with multiple pockets are staples of this trend. This style not only offers practicality but also exudes a rugged, adventurous vibe.

Utility streetwear pairs well with casual staples like plain t-shirts or hoodies. Earthy tones like olive green, beige, and khaki are particularly popular, aligning with the trend’s minimalist yet functional ethos.

Sustainability in Streetwear

Sustainability has become a significant focus for millennial consumers, and streetwear brands are responding by adopting eco-friendly practices. From upcycled materials to organic fabrics, sustainable streetwear allows individuals to look good while making ethical choices.

This shift towards sustainability has inspired unique designs, with brands using patchwork techniques or recycled denim. Millennials are also leaning towards timeless, high-quality pieces that reduce the need for frequent replacements.

Statement Sneakers

Sneakers remain at the heart of streetwear culture. Millennials are drawn to bold, statement-making designs that showcase personality and taste. Chunky sneakers, high-tops, and collaborations between designers and sportswear brands dominate the market.

Limited-edition sneakers have become status symbols, with brands like Nike, Yeezy, and Balenciaga leading the charge. These shoes often serve as the centerpiece of an outfit, paired with understated clothing to let the sneakers shine.

Logomania and Brand Affinity

Logomania, or the display of prominent logos on clothing, is a defining feature of streetwear. Millennials value brand affinity, often associating themselves with the ethos of iconic labels like Supreme, Off-White, and BAPE.

Logomania extends beyond t-shirts and hoodies to accessories like caps, bags, and even socks. While wearing logos head-to-toe can be overwhelming, incorporating one statement piece into an outfit strikes a perfect balance.

Streetwear Meets Athleisure

Athleisure, the fusion of athletic and leisurewear, continues to influence streetwear fashion. Tracksuits, joggers, and performance fabrics have found their way into casual wardrobes, offering a sporty yet polished look.

This trend is ideal for millennials who value versatility. A sleek pair of joggers can transition from a workout session to a coffee run when styled with a bomber jacket and trendy sneakers.

Accessories as Key Players

Streetwear accessories are crucial for completing the look. From crossbody bags and snapback caps to chunky gold chains and sunglasses, these elements add personality to an outfit.

The choice of accessories depends on the overall vibe. A minimalistic outfit might call for bold, statement accessories, while a vibrant ensemble benefits from understated add-ons.

Conclusion

Streetwear fashion for millennials is all about blending comfort, individuality, and cultural influences. Whether it’s through oversized silhouettes, vibrant patterns, or sustainable practices, men’s streetwear continues to push boundaries.

This men’s clothing brand offers a curated selection of streetwear essentials tailored to the Pakistani audience. From bold graphic tees to versatile sneakers, their collection helps you stay ahead in the streetwear game. Explore now and redefine your style!
