Phew, that does it! Do you have any to add?
Justin Bieber was spotted out and about while soaking up the summer sun in a $59 Pharrell Williams x Adidas Originals Daisy Tank Top, athletic cut-off shorts and matching sneakers.
The unisex piece boasts breathable double-knit mesh and is crafted from 100% polyester.
The tank top also showcases hand-drawn doodle graphics by Pharrell Williams himself. I’ve seen quite a few celebs (including Jhene Aiko) uplifting this eclectic line so it was really cool to see how Justin styled his own version.
The back view includes the numbers “03” with additional floral designs. While this ‘happy’ number is sold out in a majority of the online stores, it’s still available via Foot Locker here!
Quick question: When did Justin get so tatted?! I mean, I just completely missed that entire phase. Gosh!
But, the Biebs looks great! This is a nice, casual summer ‘fit. And, I’m ALL for supporting Pharrell in his fashionable glory.
