Obviously, Harry Styles is the major offender in introducing pearl necklaces as a sign of sexuality into mainstream men's clothing. And some fans are furious that they've made it all the way to Love Island:
"If you've seen The Devil Wears Prada, think of the necklaces as Andie's cerulean sweater," one Reddit user said. "They are a watered-down trend that began several years ago with men like Harry Styles and TikTok style influencers." "They've finally watered down enough to become heteronormative enough for the average, trendy straight man's wardrobe." Facts.
