As Justin Bieber turns 28, here's his most memorable fashion moments over the years
You've got to give it to Justin Bieber; he's had quite the fashion journey.
You can try and deny it, but the Biebs has swapped his squeaky clean image, cultural insensitivity and penchant for scrappy-looking fights (circa 2014) for something – dare we say it – stylish? His sartorial signatures are hinged on scruffy street style – think baggy jeans, oversized T-shirts, hoodies and Stan Smiths. He likes retro sportswear, raw-edged denim and – back in the day at least – head-to-toe colour (which, truthfully, worked to varying effect).
He's also not afraid to switch it up in a tailored suit, or twin with wife Hailey, either. Cute.
In fairness, hers is very small.
And let's not forget Justin's own clothing label, Drew House, which now makes up a lot of his wardrobe. Its go-to slouchy style with a touch of playfulness has unsurprisingly been a hit with the Beliebers, and honestly, we're not mad at it either.
So Justin Bieber, is it too late to say sorry? We know that we let you down, is it too late to show our appreciation now? See the star's most memorable style moments here…
Bryan SteffyStatement sunglasses have become a go-to accessory for Justin, and we're here for it. He managed to look slouchy yet tailored for a night out in Las Vegas in July 2021.
Kevin MazurIt shouldn't work, but it just kinda does. The hat / Balenciaga turtleneck / jeans / trainers combo is quintessential Biebs.
Ricky Vigil MJustin looked dapper yet cool for a date night with Hailey in London wearing a tartan grey suit – oversized, of course.
Pierre SuuJustin left a restaurant after having dinner with wife Hailey, dressing up his Drew House tracksuit with his beloved bold Lakers jacket – which Hailey herself has also worn in the past.
Arturo Holmes/MG21At the 2021 Met Gala, Justin repped his own brand in a suit from La Maison Drew (the extension label of Drew House) and smiley Drew accessories.

Bellocqimages/Bauer-GriffinJustin is clearly a star who actually wears and uses his own brand – he is regularly seen repping his Drew House hoodies and T-shirts.
Pierre SuuStatement sneakers and sunnies: a tried-and-tested combo.
James DevaneyBiebs was very early to the tie-dye loungewear trend of lockdown 1.0 – this picture was taken in 2018.

Kevin MazurThrowback alert! A 2015 Justin shows his early penchant for ripped jeans – but these are firmly in the skinny category…
Christopher PolkRemember Justin's bandana phase? We'll always admire his commitment to a headset microphone, too.
Getty ImagesThis look is peak 2016 Biebs. The singer was spotted out and about wearing super tie-dyed jeans (seriously, our eyes hurt) with a white hoodie and trainers. The jury's out, but you can certainly see where his signature style developed from.
Oversized band T-shirts never go out of fashion, right?
Now we're not entirely sure why he decided to make skateboarding presumably more difficult by only wearing one half of his top, but there we are. Bieber nods to 90s Calvin Klein here.
He gave strong outerwear game at an LA concert in March 2016 with this excellent midi-length coat. Very Victoria Beckham.
At the Brits 2016, he wore a Saint Laurent printed bomber which we'd still wear now with the right slip dress. Keith Richards sported the same version, so hopefully Biebs will become more rock 'n' roll via osmosis.
Looking like a slick Draco Malfoy at the Grammys 2016, sparking a trend for bleach blonde hair.
He was bang on the money with his frayed denim Marques Almeida tunic as worn at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards in November 2015.
We're not entirely sure why he's pulling such a grouchy face when he's wearing such a desirable Saint Laurent jacket.
Not one to brave New York's winter elements without consideration, Bieber wore all of his clothes for an alfresco performance on the Today Show in 2017, layering a cardigan, T-shirt, top, jeans and fetching beanie hat.
Vintage Justin liked to experiment with head-to-toe colour blocking as seen at the MTV 2015 Awards.
Now this was an interesting choice - Bieber wore all the layers - from hoodies to shorts to leggings - at LAX airport in 2015. However, we do rather like his oversized hoodie.
Here we have the Biebs wearing an ornate Balmain embroidered jacket at the 2015 Met Ball.
For his 21st birthday party, he went for a white biker jacket and check high-tops.
Bieber was way ahead of today's mask-wearing with his love of neckerchiefs, using his as a way of discreetly hiding himself from the paparazzi in 2014.
What to wear to Paris Fashion Week? A leopard biker jacket and shades, natch.
