Justin Bieber teaches us how to wear the baggy look
Justin Bieber has adopted the new philosophy of many designers: "the bigger the better", managing to look super chic with a super loose look.
Justin Bieber is one of the best dressed men in the world of music. Ten years ago, the Purpose singer was best known for his gold lamé blazers, magenta suede boots, and white skinny jeans, but Bieber has swapped his polished pop prince image for a uniform we're almost totally into. Okay (we're still fighting the Crocs.)
He has perfected a style that is steeped in a laid-back Californian sensibility. The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter is big, baggy and of gigantic proportions, and could easily be found on the ramps at the Venice Beach skate park or in the dressing room of pro Tony Hawk.
The fact is that the 28-year-old was seen in Montecito, California, with a colossal outfit. Comprised of an oversized Balenciaga hoodie, with elongated sleeves, and a pair of tent-style pants and Balenciaga sneakers, which at 3.5kg are as heavy as they look, the set was one of their bulkiest up to the date.
Bieber's looks are receiving recognition from the haute couture gods. As a master of the oversized fit, it's no wonder the Yummy singer was just chosen to headline Demna Gvasalia's Balenciaga campaigns. Since the Georgian designer took over as the brand's creative director in 2015, he has pushed a similar "bigger is better" aesthetic, and his collections are filled with bulky wool blazers, baggy pants and tennis shoes that look as heavy as they are. they really are (the brand's Triple S sneakers weigh about 3.2 kilos).
The looser style defended by Justin Bieber has also reached the most important catwalks in the world. Ami goes for baggy pants, Virgil Abloh at Louis Vuitton wants you to start wearing bulky jeans (check out Travis Scott's latest look, showing that skinny jeans are dead) and Dior's Spring / Summer 2022 collection was plagued of giant pants.
We love Bieber-like baggy outfits - roomier and more comfortable than anything slimmer - and you don't have to be a Belieber to wear them. Our advice: he starts with a wide leg pants to try.
