Album Inspiration: “Hozier”
In 2013 Irish musician Andrew Hozier-Byrne, simply known as Hozier, paved his way into our playlists and our hearts with his debut single Take me to church. The song is one of many stunning pieces from his eponymous album Hozier, released in 2014.
Hozier is a collection of blues, soul, folk rock and indie rock songs that are sure to strike a chord with the listener. A multitude of themes can be found in this album, from religion to love, duality, and mortality. It’s also the perfect fall album, and one of my favorites even two years later.
Hozier’s lyrics are beautiful, powerful, and sometimes dark. They might have inspired your photo captions on social media, but have you considered using his songs as inspiration for your outfits? Well, today I will show you three looks inspired by Hozier’s self-titled album.

From Eden
From Eden is a personal favorite of mine (although I adore the entire album). It has an underlying religious theme, exploring the idea of the Devil falling in love. As stated in an interview, Hozier wanted this song to be from the Devil’s point of view, since he always loved blues music’s personification of the Devil.
Products: Shirt, Jacket, Necklace, Shorts, Boots, Sunglasses
The song gives me road trip vibes, which is why it features on all of my travel playlists. Even the music video captures these vibes by featuring a car journey across the desert. So here’s an outfit that can be worn on your next cross-country adventure. The main inspiration for this was Hozier’s personal style, which features plenty of plaid and denim.
Steal some style cues from the artist and combine a tartan plaid shirt with black shorts, a pair of black ankle boots, and a distressed denim jacket (because we’re talking about a fall from Heaven after all). Accessorize with a layered necklace and sunglasses.
