Hozier's music videos are cinematic landscapes. They blend folklore, nature, and raw emotion into visuals that linger long after the song ends. For fans, wearing merch inspired by those scenes is a way to carry that atmosphere into everyday life. This guide walks through the most iconic looks from his videos, where to find similar apparel, and how to style pieces that echo the mood of tracks like 'Take Me to Church' or 'Eat Your Young.'
Iconic Looks from Hozier's Music Videos
From the stark church setting of 'Take Me to Church' to the earthy tones of 'Cherry Wine,' Hozier's videos lean heavily on texture and symbolism. In 'Take Me to Church,' the contrast between dark, hollow interiors and the warmth of natural light creates a visual palette of black, cream, and deep shadows. The protagonist's simple white shirt and dark trousers became a signature - understated but loaded with meaning. Later, 'Movement' turned to fluid motion and sculptural silhouettes, with dancers in flowing fabrics that mirror the song's pulse. 'Eat Your Young' introduced a grittier aesthetic: muted greens, distressed textures, and a sense of decay. Each video offers a distinct wardrobe direction - minimalist, romantic, or raw.
Where to Find Music Video-Inspired Apparel
While exact replica pieces from videos are rare, the aesthetic is accessible. Look for stores that prioritize earthy tones, natural fabrics, and subtle symbolism. Vintage shops often carry the worn-in denim and linen shirts seen in 'Jackie and Wilson.' Local thrift stores can yield the heavy wool coats and boots from 'In a Week.' For more direct inspiration, fan-made Etsy shops create pieces with lyrics, botanical motifs, or the iconic stag silhouette from 'Wasteland, Baby!' album art. The official merch store offers capsule collections that capture the mood - think black tees with subtle embroidered details or scarves in muted plaid. Focus on quality over quantity; a few well-chosen items can recreate the video feel without looking like a costume.
Styling Your Outfit After Hozier's Visuals
The key is layering with intention. Start with a base of dark denim or brown trousers. Add a soft, neutral sweater or a loose linen button-down - tuck it loosely. Footwear should be practical: leather boots or canvas sneakers. Accessories matter: a simple cross pendant, a leather bracelet, or a wide-brim hat can tip the scale toward the video aesthetic. Textures are crucial - corduroy, wool, and worn cotton. For a 'Take Me to Church' look, keep it monochrome with a white top and black bottoms, topped with a long coat. For 'Like Real People Do,' opt for cozy knits and deep burgundy accents. Avoid logos or graphics that scream the band name - subtlety lets the reference feel personal.
Top Picks for Fans of 'Take Me to Church' and Beyond
For the 'Take Me to Church' devotee, start with a high-quality white linen shirt - unbuttoned at the collar, sleeves rolled. Pair it with black tapered trousers and a simple leather belt. Add a charcoal gray wool scarf for colder months. If you're drawn to 'Eat Your Young,' go for olive green cargo pants, a worn flannel, and a heavy work jacket. Boots should be scuffed. For 'Movement,' flow is everything: a silk camisole, wide-leg trousers, and a cashmere wrap. Each piece should feel lived-in. Confidence is the final layer. When you wear music video-inspired merch, you're not just clothing your body - you're wearing a moment. Explore our curated collection to find pieces that resonate with your favorite scenes.
