Haley Bieber is no stranger to the fashion rule book. This model tends to gravitate toward rule-breaking styles and fuels her fire by embracing the more risqué trends. The poster child for the no-pants look, she is not afraid to go out in everything from oversized sweaters without bottoms to micro shorts that are a bit on the small side. In the winter, she might wear a micro-mini skirt and pair it with lace lingerie. So, if you're asking me if I would incorporate traditional beach fashions into my Barbados vacation, of course not. Instead of linen pants and sarongs, Bieber wore a chainmail skirt on the beach.

In an Instagram carousel posted yesterday, Bieber gave us a glimpse into the last few days he spent on the Caribbean island with his best friend Kendall Jenner. Sandwiched between snaps of models in sassy bikinis and sheer dresses was an experimental ensemble that defied standard beach attire: Bieber wore a white tank top with a colorful metallic mesh chainmail skirt (a common beach look that ), which was undeniably beach-inspired. Her shoes were not visible in the photo, but they would not have been ordinary sand-proof sandals or flip-flops.

Beaver's white ribbed tank is from ÉTERNE, a well-known basic brand among celebrities. The bold bottoms are by Christopher Esber, an Australian designer known for his sexy, party-ready pieces. Bieber is a longtime fan of Esber's work, and you've probably seen him in the designer's cutout and shirred gowns, which tend to sell out quickly when they hit retail stores.

Takeaways from Bieber's unconventional beach attire'It's fun to break the rules of fashion from time to time. In doing so, you can cultivate a personal style that stands out from the monolithic 'core' or TikTok trends. Fashion trends are a great source of inspiration and jumping-off points, but the real magic happens when you go off script. For example, when Bieber adds a twist to the red trend with his cherry-colored Ferragamo fur, or when he ignites a revival of 80s style despite the fact that the early 2000s was the era on everyone's mind.
