Following Justin Bieber’s fashion choices is to take a ride on one of the wildest sartorial rollercoasters in living memory. The Canadian singer/songwriter sometimes pulls off amazing fits, like this summery ‘Brooklyn bohemian‘ look or this workwear-meets-streetwear ensemble… And then will turn around and step out in multi-coloured Crocs or saggy-crotch tracksuit shorts.Thankfully his latest get-up is a masterstroke.Yesterday, Bieber posted a photo of him posing in his driveway next to his Lamborghini Urus (his pride and joy) in a similarly high-octane outfit: contrasting a black six-panel cap, polo and trousers with a colourful 90s Benetton F1 Team varsity jacket, Nike SB Stefan Janoski sneakers and a solid gold Audemars Piguet Royal Oak worth around ~US$100,000.
