Justin Bieber has made a name for himself as one of the freakiest dressers on the planet. He's out there wearing the slouchiest fits. Big blazers that swamp his body. He was wearing crop tops on the beach long before crop tops bloomed on TikTok. He helped made orthopedic Crocs the post-pandemic must-have shoe. He goes big on bonkers sunglasses and even bigger on his jeans. Now, he's inventing entirely new ways to wear hoodies.
While out on a coffee run in LA recently, Bieber was sporting his usual low-key fit: loose-fitting sweatpants from Korean label We11done, a mini beanie, big metallic, insectoid sunglasses, and an oversized hoodie from Nahmias, the cult Cali brand.
But it was how he wore his fit that spoke to his signature freakiness. While most guys would, you know, put two arms through the designated sleeves of a hoodie, Bieber decided to only use one. Instead, he carried his coffee cup in his arm that crept out from under his hoodie. Sure! It was worn in the way that you'd expect a model to wear one down a catwalk, say at JW Anderson, where hoodies are often subverted and worn super tight and in an unconventional way. But IRL? Pretty whacky. And so very Bieber-coded.
Call it a paparazzi stunt. Call it weird. But this is Justin Bieber, and weirdo fits are his jam.
