If you want to channel your inner Justin Bieber, you have to look at the different eras of his life—from the YouTube phenom with the iconic haircut to the global pop icon, fashion trendsetter, and matured artist.
Here are 10 ways to adopt his style, mindset, and vibe:
1. Nail the Style Evolution
Bieber is a fashion chameleon. To dress like him, you can lean into two distinct styles:
The Streetwear King: Think oversized hoodies, baggy skate pants, vintage tees, and luxury sneakers (like Balenciaga or Yeezy).
The “Drew House” Vibe: He founded the streetwear brand Drew House, which is all about bright colors, smiley faces, corduroy, and cozy, casual comfort.
2. Master the Signature Hair
From the 2010 “swoop” that defined a generation to bleach-blonde buzzcuts, messy surfer waves, and beanies, Justin’s hair is always a focal point. Pick an era that works for you, or simply master the casual, slightly disheveled “just rolled out of bed but look great” look.
3. Embrace the Tattoos
Bieber is heavily tatted, sporting full sleeves, a chest piece, and various neck tattoos (like his famous swallow and “Patience” script). While you don’t need to get permanent ink, experimenting with high-quality temporary tattoos or a patchwork sleeve aesthetic can instantly channel his look.
4. Lean into R&B-Infused Pop Music
If you want to sing or create music like him, study his blend of catchy pop melodies and smooth R&B vocals. Practice your falsetto, work on smooth vocal runs, and listen to his major influences, like Usher, Michael Jackson, and Boyz II Men.
5. Pick Up an Instrument
Before he was a pop star, Justin was a musical prodigy who taught himself how to play the drums, guitar, piano, and trumpet as a kid. Being able to casually sit down at a piano or pick up an acoustic guitar to sing a raw cover is core Bieber energy.
6. Stay Active with Hockey and Skateboarding
Justin is a massive sports fan and highly athletic. He grew up playing hockey (and still plays in celebrity and recreational leagues) and is frequently spotted skateboarding down city streets. Picking up a skateboard or hitting the ice is a great way to emulate his lifestyle.
7. Adopt the “SWAG” Confidence
In his early career, “swag” was his catchphrase. Today, that has matured into a quiet, effortless confidence. Walk with a relaxed posture, maintain an easygoing demeanor, and don’t take yourself too seriously when the cameras are on.
8. Be Open About Your Journey and Growth
Part of Bieber’s appeal is his vulnerability. He has been incredibly open about the struggles of early fame, mental health, and his spiritual journey. Being authentic, admitting your flaws, and actively working on personal growth and faith are massive parts of who he is today.
9. Show Public Affection and Loyalty
Justin is famously devoted to his wife, Hailey, and his close circle of friends. He regularly posts public tributes, acts as a protective partner, and isn’t afraid to show his emotional, romantic side to the world.
10. Accessorize Boldly
Justin loves statement accessories. To get his look, throw on:
Oversized, retro sunglasses.
A classic hotel slipper or Crocs with socks look for casual outings.
Chunky silver or pearl necklaces mixed with streetwear.
A backwards baseball cap or a slouchy beanie pulled low.
