Harry Styles might be a one in a million star, but we can’t help but see similarities between his style and that of Rolling Stones frontman and 1970s icon Mick Jagger. There have been a number of occasions where Styles’s love of statement suits, androgynous outfits, and sensual, on-stage swagger have been compared to Jagger’s — and we found some of the best photos of their matching style moments.
We aren’t the only ones who think Harry Styles and Mick Jagger are doppelgängers separated by half a century.

Even so, it’s pretty clear to see why Styles would be an ideal pick. Beside the comparable passion that he brings to the stage, Styles loves a statement, slim-fit suit like Jagger. He also isn’t shy about elevating his looks with traditional womenswear accessories like pearl necklaces, diamanté pieces, and printed, wide-leg trousers. Equally, these style stars look quite similar, which takes their twinning moments to a whole new level.
