The Popdust Files: justin bieber, swag

Swaggy adult? Swag, swag, swag on you? Justin Bieber makes a lot of bold swag-related statements in his lyrics and may have once employed a “coach” to help maximize his style, but is his life truly a constant source of inspiration for how to look and act in 2012? Pretty much. On the heels of his professed newfound manhood and the worldwide announcement that he’s finally hot, ready, and legal—clearly the most important—we’ve reviewed his swaggiest moments to date.
