Hailey Bieber Just Used the TikTok Styling Hack That Will Actually Go the Distance

I spend a significant amount of time on TikTok—perhaps more than I'd like to admit. However, I can confidently say that it's time well spent, as I continually discover a wealth of exciting tips and tricks, especially in the realm of style. Recently, I came across a TikTok video by creator Sal Rodzen that showcased the smart and chic technique of wearing a blazer as a top to make any outfit look expensive. This idea stuck with me, and then, as if the fashion universe conspired to reinforce it, I saw my ultimate fashion muse—Hailey Bieber—using this very styling tip.

Yesterday, Bieber graced Instagram with a stunning series of photos, one of which captured her in a fitted, buttoned-up brown blazer paired with a matching miniskirt. Using the blazer-as-top technique, the stylish entrepreneur and model transformed her blazer into the focal point of her ensemble. This styling choice allowed her to forgo the question of what to wear underneath, possibly saving her precious minutes in her getting-ready routine. While the blazer she chose was undoubtedly chic with its unique buttons, it was TikTok's clever styling tip that truly enhanced her look. Instead of leaving the jacket open and pairing it with a top, Bieber used the fitted blazer to cinch her waist and create a sophisticated pre-winter ensemble.

To master the trend of wearing a blazer as a top, choosing the right silhouette is essential. Opt for a fitted blazer instead of an oversize blazer, and avoid low V-necks. This way, you'll cover most of your chest and maintain the elegant appeal that this styling tip provides. If you don't have a fitted blazer in your wardrobe and prefer not to purchase one, don't worry—you can quickly transform any blazer. Simply cinch it with a belt for a more tailored, top-like appearance.
