Not a Sweater—Hailey Bieber's Favorite Pre-Fall Wardrobe Basic Makes Leggings Look the Coolest
Want to fresh your leggings outfits? Skip the sweater and opt for this easy yet chic alternative.
If there's one fashion girl to keep an eye on for comfort-meets-style outfit inspiration, it's Hailey Bieber. Whether she's grabbing coffee, taking a Pilates class, or tackling mom duties, her style consistently proves that you can prioritize comfort without sacrificing elegance. This past week, Bieber showcased yet another effortless look, demonstrating how a "dated" staple can make black leggings or pants feel fresh for 2026.
For a casual dinner in L.A., Bieber was spotted wearing sporty black low-rise pants paired with a white T-shirt. She layered the look not with a sweater, half-zip technical jacket, or even a pullover sweatshirt, but with a black zip-up hoodie. She then finished the ensemble with her go-to retro sunglasses and a black leather tote bag.

If you've been following Bieber's recent off-duty style, you'll know that this isn't her first time embracing the zip-up trend. Just days earlier, she was seen wearing a black sports bra and leggings with the same sweatshirt, followed by a look featuring pink shorts and a gray zip-up. The pattern is clear: the versatile hoodie has become one of Bieber's go-to layering pieces. It works for every part of her busy life and is a functional piece for chilly summer mornings and the summer-to-fall transition.
