Remember when Bella Hadid strutted through New York City, eating pizza in micro shorts that resembled your boyfriend's briefs? The now-iconic photo transformed the landscape of micro trends as we know it. To start, the sartorial moment boosted the popularity of platform UGG boots (which are now always sold out). More importantly, however, it re-established the key factor of a bonafide “It” girl: An “It” girl will wear what she wants, even if it doesn’t always make sense to the rest of us. Case in point: Hailey Bieber in micro shorts and a maxi coat while in Los Angeles—during the winter, we must add. Was she coming from a workout class? Did she forget to put on pants? We’ll never know, but it sure makes for an interesting, conversation-starting outfit.
It was just another day in Los Angeles for Hailey and Justin Bieber, who were seen taking a stroll through the city wearing their eclectic-cozy outfits. Let’s get right to it: Hailey styled her teeny-tiny red micro shorts with a ruby red crewneck sweatshirt from Rebalance Vintage. The double use of red, a key color trend, was a smart style move on Hailey’s end because it made her tiny shorts feel like an intentional style choice rather than that she forgot to put on Real Pants. To wit, Bieber's sporty pairing of a sweatshirt and athletic bottoms calls to mind the many iconic images of Princess Diana's casual style leaving the gym. This was Bieber's take on the sporty Lady Di look—sans pants, though, of course.
