Justin Bieber takes baggy jeans to extremes

Justin Bieber carries the banner of unconventional style high. He’s been doing it for most of his career. The 29-year-old singer even recently wore a blanket to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party! While most celebrities hide behind dark sunglasses, he wears insect-shaped lenses. He has fully entered the fashion area where everything is possible. And faced with the choice of wearing an unusual garment, whether it’s a pair of Balenciaga sneakers or a crop top, he intones “Never Say Never”. Bieber owns baggy jeans. That’s right, there owns. I am his passion. Math Smith might be wearing them, even Michael B Jordan, but they’re Bieber’s accessory. The last time we saw him in a pair of skinny jeans was when he was a teenager shooting video clips at bowling alleys. Today he is armed only with baggy trousers.

Now Bieber is experimenting with even looser fits in his jeans. Case in point, yesterday, after his Oscars appearance (no red carpet for this pop star, please) Bieber was photographed with his significant other Hailey in Los Angeles. She in her usual denim outfit and leather jacket, he in his jeans Drewhouse baggy. This time, however, the singer has gone even further. Not just legs spread apart, but also impossibly long hems that dangled over her feet and trailed underneath, dragging them to the ground. That’s fine with Bieber. And he has his own why. Justin Bieber is the king of “sloppiness”. His style doesn’t match Tinsel Town’s golden one. Surely you will never see him walking around the city with a Gucci jacket blowing in the wind. Indeed, he is the master of “sagging”, the art of wearing jeans that fall well below the waist. In short, it was only a matter of time before he took the baggy to the extreme.

Did he go too far? Sure, letting your pants rip underfoot like a Venice Beach skater boy is a hassle for those of us who actually have to buy our own jeans. But he is Bieber. It’s worth millions. He’s allowed to get freaky, even if it pays to pay. What if the jeans rip in the name of his reputation as the King of the Baggy? No problem for Justin.
