Hailey Bieber is already leading the charge for the return of capri pants. This controversial clothing trend has been the center of both accolades and condemnation in the fashion world. The model and entrepreneur caused quite the ruckus recently when he was spotted leaving Sushi Park in West Hollywood. This chic watering hole for overfed luminaries underscored her penchant for above-the-ankle pants.
Capri pants, anyone Even capri pants are having a huge renaissance in today’s fashion world. Famous royalty such as Audrey Hepburn in “Sabrina” and Carrie Bradshaw of “Sex and the City” often wore these fashionable pants. Their mixed acceptance sometimes has them pigeonholed as either chic or clunky. Bieber’s support for this particular garment comes as fashion’s collective consciousness is shifting towards valuing personal style and free expression.
Bieber’s eye for fashion extends to the execution of his wardrobe—think skin-tight, tailored, figure-flattering pieces. Capri pants are a key element of her main outfits. So, of course, she loves wearing these pants. To further enhance her effortlessly chic vibe, she wears them with a classic trench coat.
Many other brands followed suit with their own versions, offering multiple choices and lots of damage to capri lovers. The Row provides minimalist sophistication, but Birrot focuses on trendy, ankle-skimming looks that fit the aesthetics of any TikTok wardrobe. Further, Spanish art and fashion brand Paloma Wool and Moldovan designer Fidan Novruzova have both provided their own unique takes on the capri silhouette.
The author of this op-ed is unabashedly pro-capri pants. She knows exactly how this piece of clothing should dress you up, illuminate your closet. The layering versatility and freedom of movement that quality capris can bring will make them a spring styling must-have, too.
Bieber’s influence doesn’t stop at her look alone. She’s worked most closely with Anthony Vaccarello, the creative director of Saint Laurent, and their joint work together has shook and stunned the fashion world. Vaccarello, who was recently honored at the most recent Fashion Trust U.S. Awards, has made important and lasting contributions to our industry.
Bieber summed up her design philosophy in one sentence – “There is intention with every stitch.” This remark speaks to her fierce dedication to aesthetics as much as substance in fashion.
