Thanks to Hailey Bieber, This Is How Everyone Will Wear Sweatpants in 2022
Hailey Beiber has a number of fashion moods that span the style spectrum. Yep, she’s been spotted in everything from G-string thong dresses to dad pants to latex leggings. The trend I think she’s really put on the map, though? Her cool approach to styling cute sweatpant outfits. Nothing could be more relevant as a trend right now, and while I thought I would be tired of sweatpants at this point, I’ve found that I’ve been adding even more sets to my closet.
What I have been in need of is some fresh outfit inspiration. That’s where Hailey Bieber’s perfect sweatpant looks come in. Ahead, I’m highlighting some styling ideas I’m borrowing from Bieber that you’ll be sure to see the fashion set repeating as well. From topping them off with oversize outerwear to layering bike shorts underneath, these outfits will have you rethinking how to get dressed when you want to feel cozy.
Throw on an oversize coat
If you subscribe to Hailey Bieber's "oversize everything" approach to fashion, this is the coolest way to style a sweatsuit set. The trick? Order everything in at least one size up.
On Hailey Bieber: Balenciaga Suspended Shoulder Coat; Cydnie Jordan Sweatshirt ($125) and Sweatpants ($125); Alexander Wang sneakers; Celine Edge Sunglasses; Saint Laurent bag; Anito Ko Meryl Earrings and Diamond Huggies ($6975)

Add a cropped sweatshirt
If the runways are any indication, skin is in for spring. A subtle way to play into the trend? A cropped sweatshirt like the one Bieber is wearing here.
On Hailey Bieber: Los Angeles Apparel Half-Zip Croeed Pullover ($64) and High-Waist Sweatpants ($64); Yeezy sneakers; New Era Raiders Hat; Prada Logo Plaque Mini Backpack; Anita Ko Braided Hoop Earrings ($3050); Akings First Aid Face Mask ($10)
Shop the look:
Go for a neutral palette
For someone like me who tends to stick to neutrals more often than pops of color, I'm always looking for new ways to style them. Here, Bieber's outfit is proof that shades of black and white can look just as dimensional as vibrant shades.
On Hailey Bieber: Saint Laurent Oversize Belted Coat and New Wave Sunglasses ($365); Cydnie Jordan Sweatshirt ($125) and Sweatpants ($125); Balenciaga sneakers; Bottega Veneta bag; Anita Ko Meryl Hoop Earrings

Layer a pair of bike shorts underneath
I love discovering cool new styling tricks, so this look instantly caught my eye. By layering a pair of bike shorts underneath a pair of sweatpants, you can add in new colors or textures.

Add dimension to black sweats
If you're sticking to a classic pair of black sweats, add some accessories like chain necklaces and high-top sneakers for some texture.
