It’s Z021, and Zayn Malik is already coming in with some of the freshest outfits of the year.

The singer, songwriter and recent baby daddy has put out new music and new looks in recent weeks, displaying his fresh, casual and elegant style across Instagram posts and music videos. Zayn’s style has always been flattering, teetering between perfect points of masculine elegance and refined streetwear, and, if anything, it seems that fatherhood might just be the look that suits him best.

In a sweet and sentimental Instagram post, girlfriend Gigi Hadid shared a photo of the iconic couple dressed in their stay-at-home parenting wear. Ever the style icon, Zayn dons a cozy, rust orange set of Liberty overalls paired with a knit olive jumper, completing the look with a casual cream beanie and Nike sneakers:

Even back in October, the British musician was giving us glimpses of the elevated style game to come. Harry Potter Halloween costumes may be common, but surely no one pulls off Slytherin-wear like Zayn, making the wizarding wardrobe fresh and fun with simple green accents:

He also dressed to the nines for a Hadid Christmas celebration, sporting Louboutin boots with a pinstripe blazer paired with a black turtleneck for the holiday season in a post shared by Yolanda Hadid—a simple, sophisticated look, given it’s own Zayn twist with his light blue hair and silver rings:

Most recently, Zayn turned heads at his 28th birthday party on January 12, planned with an intricate arcade theme by Gigi. He wore an ultra-cool custom, hand-painted Bode corduroy jacket, featuring graffiti motifs including his birth year, the Star Wars logo and cover art for his third studio album, Nobody Is Listening:

Zayn’s style surpasses casual daytime fits and leaks into his music, too—the music video for his latest single, “VIBEZ,” sees him sporting a shiny, elegant Omega Constellation Gents timepiece on his wrist, a sleek gold model with a glimmering opaline silvery dial to contrast his all-black fit:

If anyone’s year is off to a fresh and fit start, it’s definitely Zayn Malik’s.
