Hailey Bieber Just Wore the "Midtown Uniform," But Made It Fashion
From Instagram to runways, I find inspiration for stories in a lot of different places, but it's safe to say I've never gotten an idea from finance bros. But when I say Hailey Bieber wearing a puffer vest and trousers, it reminded me of the viral Instagram account @midtownuniform, which chronicles the men of Midtown Manhattan all dressing in eerily similar outfits made up of those two staples.
Naturally, Bieber didn't exactly look like she was meeting her hedge fund manager at Morgan Stanley—she made a puffer vest and trousers look 100 times cooler in a few different ways. First, she color-coordinated her vest, bag, and sneakers, which shows an admirable amount of dedication. Plus, she went with on-trend baggy leather trousers instead of regular ol' work pants, as well as a roomy sweatshirt underneath the vest. In other words, she wore the Midtown Uniform but made it fashion. Scroll down to see how she styled the combination and shop similar pieces.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
