Could Hailey Bieber’s Co-Ord Be The New Cashmere Bra?

Katie Holmes’s cashmere bra and cardigan combo still remains the definitive outfit of 2019, and a strong contender for ultimate #outfitgoals as we all started working from home. But in 2021, a new knitted garment has caught our attention. Hailey Bieber’s button-down co-ord.

The two-piece is smart enough to wear to dinner, cosy enough to curl up in on the sofa and is from Public Habit, a sustainable brand that uses an on-demand model so that it only makes what it sells, avoiding waste and helping its customer to build a longer-lasting wardrobe. Bieber's set - comprised of the Brooklyn pants, and the Manhattan cardigan, both of which are 100% cashmere - is part of an edit put together by journalist and filmmaker Sophia Li, who asks each shopper to commit to wearing every garment they buy +30 times as they add it to basket.

If you're feeling a little more, how shall I put it, saucy in the approach to summer, Bieber also has an alternative that's a little more skin-bearing: the knitted romper.

Hers is Jacquemus’s Body Short Cycling Playsuit, and it’s still available to buy for £270. If you weren’t amused by the resurgence of cycling shortsa few years ago, it might not float your boat. If, however, you’re looking for an alternative to head-to-toe sweats or something, dare I say it, a little sexier than leggings, then you really couldn’t do better.

Zara has several sweet styles, from this simple spaghetti-strap design that has a nice balletic quality, to this square-necked lilac number. American Vintage’s heather grey playsuit is also a winner. And if you’re not ready to relinquish your tracksuit just yet, Lauren Manoogian’s cotton and alpaca-blend jumpsuit is the best kind of stepping stone.
