In the summer heat, it helps to have a uniform. Warm weather, dinners and picnics and parties, and far-flung vacations ask that we approach our wardrobes strategically, paring down potential outfits until we re left with something undeniably chic that can be thrown on with minimal thought. Hailey Bieber gets this. The model has spent the season (and many before) perfecting her go-to summer uniform: oversized jorts, worn with a belt, loafers and white socks.
Bieber stepped out in such an ensemble yesterday in New York—this one paired with a white baby tee and black Bottega bag. The outfit was cute on its own, but it elicited a rush of deja vu. For several years, Bieber has reached for baggy and belted Bermuda shorts and cut-offs over and over again, often styled with white ankle socks and chunky black shoes.
She s worn it for summertime strolls through Los Angeles, Soho, and Southhampton—girlfriends and Justin in tow—and to post at-home for her Instagram grid. Khaki and leather trenches make it appropriate for colder climes; eggshell Bermudas provide a polished twist; and v-neck sweaters provide Ivy appeal. But it’s the constants—the midriff-baring baby tees, small sunglasses, gilded accessories, white socks, and chunky, black slip-on shoes—that serve as the bedrock of the Bieber-form. While loafers seem to be her preferred pairs, a set of closed-toed sandals from The Row have also found a place in her rotation, a polarizing, dad-core choice that would be a fit on Adam Sandler.
The genius of Bieber s uniform are its subtle yet effective variations, transforming a one-off moment into an interminable collection. Should she keep this up, comparisons and classifications of the belted jorts/socks/blacks shoe combo will be soon be rendered superfluous—just call it the Hailey Bieber.
