Say you're packing for a trip to Los Angeles (jealous) and don't know what to bring. My recommendation? Just take a look at whatever Hailey Bieber's been wearing over the last few weeks. You'll want some minidresses for the evening—always worn with sky-high Saint Laurent or Femme LA heels—and understated workout ensembles for morning Pilates. Of course, you'll also need her everyday daytime outfit: a leather bomber jacket, black pants, and ruched loafers, a uniform Bieber's been donning on repeat all year long.
Most recently, Bieber, whose beauty company Rhode was just acquired by e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion, was spotted leaving United Talent Agency's office in Beverly Hills, where she broke out the tried-and-true combination. She chose an '80s-inspired Saint Laurent leather bomber and styled it with loose trousers and Jil Sander ruched loafers.

Bieber's not the only person on the West Coast who falls back on the look. Cool fashion people across the Los Angeles area, from West Hollywood to Silver Lake, rely heavily on Bieber's go-to pant-and-shoe combo. It's easy, comfortable, and dressed up enough to make it appropriate for any occasion, especially in a laid-back locale like L.A. Case in point: Who What Wear Market Director Bobby Schuessler is currently packing for a trip to L.A. and bringing along his ruched loafers and black trousers for the time away.
"I only care about ruched loafers right now as a chic update to the classic silhouette," he told me. "I actually have two pairs, Banana Republic and Saint Laurent, and they're both coming with me for a weekend trip to L.A. to wear with my favorite Vince black trousers." According to him, this pairing is cool and polished every time, no matter what else he styles with it, from a button-down shirt to a tucked-in white tee.
