When Hailey Bieber briefs her stylist, I imagine there’s only one non-negotiable. Must. Have. Big. Coats.<\/p>\n

Sure, it appears the model loves her husband, Justin Bieber, and that little dog a lot, but is it as much as she loves oversized clothing? It\u2019s uncertain. Today, Mrs. Bieber was spotted dashing about Los Angeles in a supersized Balenciaga wool coat – for the second day in a row. As we know, when a celebrity is snapped in the same piece twice, you can mark it down as a bona fide trend. However, this is not the first time she\u2019s repped the swamp-your-frame winter look. And it\u2019s not the second. It\u2019s the ten millionth. In fact, she\u2019s worn more spectacular long coats than I\u2019ve had hot dinners. And tonight I had two.<\/p>\n

Hyperbole aside, there\u2019s a lot of news about her pairing these coats with sweatpants, too. Perhaps not headline news, but people are vibing on her crafty take on the street-style\/couch-style revolution. It’s as though she\u2019s validating all the over-zealous purchasing of elastic-waist pants we did in 2020 and pumping some post-COVID possibilities into their fleecy pockets. Interestingly though, if we look back at the Bieber-in-big-coats timeline, the Arizona native (and daughter of Stephen Baldwin) has actually been prepping this relaxo-couture since before the pandemic even properly hit. Prophetic? Unlikely. Chic? Very.<\/p>\n

I dig this look a lot. I have ever since the Olsen twins spent their days hovering on NYC corners in giant black wrap coats drinking equally giant Starbucks, circa 2014. There’s something very mysterious and enigmatic about being swallowed whole by a giant piece of super-soft wool. And, you know, it’s really warm.<\/p>\n

I also loved the giant coat uprising of 2018 when Balenciaga paid tribute to Joey Tribbiani’s multi-layering, when Moncler did Avant Garde puffer tower-coats and when Marc Jacobs created a kind of large-coated villain. Since then, the ominously huge silhouette has ruled. And it’s been no mean feat for a trend that’s suffered from considerable bouts of meme-ification. Instagram account ItsMaysMemes<\/a> went viral for her Photoshop work pumping up the volume of coats and shoes on celebrities. And even Kanye West, who\u2019s been known for his penchant for large outerwear, trolled himself with a wacky music video<\/a> in 2018 featuring a giant inflatable Roblox-type coat.<\/p>\n
