I’m not a stalker or anything, but I’m a pretty big Bieber fan. Kick-ass live acoustic renditions of his own songs aside, I’m really inspired by his style. I mean, I’m a total homo. How could I not be? Now that he’s honing a more grown-up sound in Believe, Justin’s style is turning into that of an older and hotter lesbian. The kid stole our swag, and the game’s not up. 1 Point for Team Justin, 10 Points for Team Qwear. 

The “Boyfriend” Outfit. Don’t know where he got the button-up, but it would be easy to pick up a lightweight shirt like it at H&M or similar stores.

Blazer $1,645, shirt, $345, and tie, $175 by Dolce & Gabbana. Tie bar by The Tie Bar. I’ll take the tie bar.

I’m in love with this. The label on the side of the sweater suggests that it is Scotch and Soda brand, but I can’t find this exact sweater online. The backpack would be a harder one to pin, but it reminds me of styles I’ve seen at Diesel, with a fancy non-traditional strap design. (source: thejustinbiebershrine.com)

UPDATE 9/20/12: Exciting news! A reader named Alex commented to tell us that the sweatshirt comes from Boxfresh. It is called the Halle Varsity Jumper. It is no longer available in Blue, but it is quite affordable at $52.

facetofacewiththesky asked: I need help with my "bad boy" look! How do I stay rebellious during summer?

First stop, A-shirts/tank tops: Hanes or Fruit of the Loom are good and you can get them in packs. Try boys if you’re small.

Fruit Of The Loom Boys 5-pack A-Shirt Tanks, available here

Hoodies: I mean you still need them in the summer, right? To go over your tank top when it gets cold.

ASOS Zip-through Hoodie, available here

Big watches: Either G-shock or a big-ass silver or gold chonograph watch. (And don’t tell people your grandma got it for you.)

G-shock GA-100 Limited Edition in White, available here

Shoes: Sports sneakers or high tops. Adidas, Nike, Supra, Puma. Bad boy and sporty are often synonymous. Check out Ashley rocking her Supras here.

Supra Tumbled Action Leather, available here

Hats: Maybe you’d be interested in adding a snapback; check out this post of Ashley.

Posse Obey Snapback, available here

WHAT NOT TO DO:

Wallet chains, dog tags, other types of chains: They look cool when Justin Bieber does it, but how likely is it that any of us could really pull them off?

Leather Cuffs, or anything in leather: I’m not saying they could never work, but they will probably come off as trying too hard.

Tattoos: I mean do it, but you didn’t hear it from me.

Just a simple black and white outfit says that Ashley has confidence in her clothes. These colors are great for fall and winter when the skies get darker.

It’s time for me to share with you more pictures of my beautiful Dyke Duds collaborator, Ashley Yielding. Ashley, like me, is one for color schemes. Not every style needs a color scheme; in fact a lot of more feminine hippy styles these days thrive on not matching. But if you’re going for a more preppy, street smart, or tomboy look, color schemes can help bring out the swag. Ashley’s into the primary colors and whites which I consider a bold and worthy choice, perhaps because it goes with my personal aesthetics.

Might I also add how exciting it is to collaborate with someone I’ve never met who lives 1,456 miles away? I know what you’re thinking: What is it like working with your fashion idol? Amazing. It’s hard to not get overwhelmed with feelings of elation and grandiosity every time we make an email exchange.
