Justin Bieber's Style Evolution (PHOTOS)

HuffPost Social Reading

Justin Bieber has come a long way from sporting wide-brim baseball caps and plain T-shirts while belting out cover songs on YouTube. Since breaking into the music scene in 2009, the Canadian-born pop star has transitioned into fitted cardigans, leather jackets, skinny jeans and neon-colored sneakers that look as though he has been playing dress up in mentor Usher's closet. And while Bieber finally cut ties (pun intended) with his famous bowl haircut, I have a feeling that his b-boy style isn't changing anytime soon.

As the "Never Say Never" singer celebrates his 18th birthday this Thursday (March 1st), we take a look back to see how his style has evolved over the years. One thing's for sure: The Biebs sure does love wearing the color purple. Vote on all his looks in the slideshow below.

Check out our many other Style Evolutions.

So some of you had posted that Justin Bieber is gay. I just don't see it. I believe the rumors of George Clooney and Tom Cruise being gay, just not Justin Bieber. Maybe, because he's still such a kid, even though he's 18.

Have you? There is such a thing as gender dysphoria.

Well, he's a pretty boy. By the time he turns 30, it will all go away.

LOLOLOL, this kid is going to hate himself in a couple of yrs when he looks at the goofiest clothes that i have ever seen. He puts the 80s to shame. Look at his Shoes, are you kidding me. LOL. And does he really wear Glasses or is that supposed to be a fashion statement.

TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL
