If You're Going to Wear Flat Sandals in September, This Is the Exact Outfit to Copy
The L.A. fall uniform just dropped.

It may still technically be summer, but we're starting to see a shift in what people wear as fall moves closer and closer, and Hailey Bieber is the perfect example. Bieber just wore an excellent transitional outfit to a basketball game in L.A., which included the shoe trends she's been wearing all summer: flat flip-flops. You would think open-toe shoes in September wouldn’t be trending, but on the contrary, celebrities like Bieber are not ready to let them go.
While I had already stored away most of my open-toe shoes in preparation for the colder months on the East Coast, this L.A. cool girl approved outfit has been living rent-free in my mind. Her look is reminiscent of what the It girls of the '90s wore: outfits that were minimal yet glamorous and elegant all at once. Her dark-wash jeans and black leather jacket were layered over a basic cropped tank top, and the choice to wear flat sandals made it all look ever more effortless. I guess I'll be pulling my flip-flops back out for September now, as this outfit is just too easy and good not to re-create.
