In today’s fashion scene, influencers and celebrities constantly push the envelope, experimenting with unique aesthetics that often turn into trends embraced by fans. For Canadian singer Justin Bieber, his choice of bottoms has been a continuous evolution of bagginess, but recently, his jeans have dropped to new lows, literally. Once, his baggy jeans sat comfortably at his waistline; now, they seem to struggle to find any waistline at all, hanging on by a thread.
Recently spotted in New York, Bieber embraced a street-style look with an oversized jacket and ultra-low-waist baggy pants that seemed ready to fall at any moment. His black cargo pants hung well below his hips, offering a whole new definition to “low-waist jeans,” and looking almost absurd like something out of a misguided fashion tutorial. Let’s break down his entire look and see if you dare take this fashion risk.

Justin paired a lavender tweed shacket, with a white and yellow checkered print, featuring front pockets, button closures, and a collared neckline. He tucked it into his incredibly low-waisted cargo pants, which boasted a baggy silhouette and side pockets. To add some flair, he cinched his pants with a bright yellow embroidered belt and layered the ensemble with an oversized lemon-yellow jacket.

The jacket, with an open front, drop-shoulder detailing, full-length sleeves, and a hoodie at the back, completed the look. To protect himself from the chilly New York winds, he topped it all off with a grey beanie and tan suede boots. While Justin has always been known for his low-waist style, rocking drop-crotch pants since 2012, these super-low jeans are a step too far, looking like they are on the brink of a wardrobe malfunction or maybe even hiding something.
