'Jealous' hitmaker Nick Jonas has opened up about his love of fashion in a new interview with Billboard.

He explained that style is another way to reflect who you are as a performer:

"I like classic elements but with bolder statements. Your clothing and approach to fashion are the visual statements you make as a performer or a songwriter. I've been getting into the fancy sweatpants trend -- the sweatpants-you-can-wear-to-work kind of vibe. Public School is doing a very cool job with that."

Jonas joked that the fashion faux pas that springs to mind is his love of bow ties for all occasions: "Bow ties are great, but there's a time and place for them. Bow ties for everyday wear is maybe not the best move, and I was doing that for a minute."

The heartthrob went onto add that his favourite statement piece would be his leather jacket: "A classic black leather jacket. Mine is Margiela and I take it everywhere I go. If it's a two-day trip or a two-month trip, it's with me."
