Frilly boxer shorts and Mary Janes, gym shorts and Doc Martens, vintage football jerseys and dad caps wrapped in leopard-print headscarves. Hailey Bieber is one of the world’s most visible proponents of what I would describe as “lost-and-found box” dressing. That is, her outfits seem to have been assembled from a mishmash of personal items left on the sidelines of a school sporting event, suggestive of a curated but lived-in chaos.
That extends to the model’s endless patronage of square-toed loafers—most often worn with white ankle-length socks, outsized leather jackets, and jorts—which feel quite “I forgot my PE kit at home.” Even a cursory scroll through Google Images will reveal at least 37 instances of Hailey Bieber wearing those specific ruched-toe Jil Sander shoes since late 2022.
That number also includes the image above, wherein the model was photographed on a night out with husband Justin and Kendall Jenner, carrying a customized Miu Miu bag and a transparent “bump-baring” top from Bite Studios with wide-leg “anti-maternity” jeans. To further telegraph the idle leisure of those beloved loafers, the Biebers were later captured leaving a Tokyo drugstore with at least six—soon-to-be released?—Rhode pimple patches decorating their faces. This from someone whose skin has never so much suffered a burst vein is proof that even Hailey Bieber is graduating from clean-girl culture.
