Justin Bieber—and His Artful, Disheveled Style—Is My Summer Mood: Justin Bieber hit the streets of New York City wearing his version of an easy-breezy summer outfit

When it comes to summer fashion, the best ensembles are always the ones that feel effortless and casual—nothing too overly styled or perfect. When it’s hot out, after all, the last thing you want your outfit to be is fussy; we’re going for ease, here.

It’s precisely what Bieber’s wardrobe is all about this season: The singer has a penchant for taking emerging designers and fresh-off-the-runway pieces and making them feel totally nonchalant, as though he rolled out of bed and threw them on.

(And perhaps he did.) Take his recent date night with wife Hailey Bieber, when Justin emerged sporting a crisp, blue Maison Margiela button-up shirt—dressy enough, right?—but offset it with extremely baggy jeans, black leather clogs, and sporty Prada shades. The whole thing felt casually cool, and not in a try-hard way.

Bieber’s deliberately dressed-down aesthetic works especially well for the summer time. Compared to the fall and winter’s emphasis on slick outerwear, there’s something that’s less serious and buttoned-up about summer style; There are fewer layers to play with, for one, meaning the pieces you do wear can be a little more fun and bold.

I also enjoy the idea of taking summer vacation mentality into your wardrobe; It’s almost like Bieber clashes things on purpose because, well, it’s his day off, and he can! The man even somehow managed to pull off an extremely baggy pair of gym shorts and paired them with fishermen sandals. That’s art!
