Even Sisqó (whose head was SILVER) was like, WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?

16. Early 21 (when he basically wore only fedoras)

Justin used to be really into fedoras. He was also into bucket hats. The combination never worked.

15. Without glasses 28

Something seems off.

14. With glasses 28

Better than without the glasses, but still, something doesn’t seem right.

13. Age 18

The diamond studded earrings plagued Justin for years, but at 18, the ’90s conglomeration was fairly scary.

Still, I’m not hating, it was kind of hot at times.

11. Age 26

Not into JT with a faux hawk. Not into most guys with faux hawks. Faux hawks are almost never a good idea.

His forehead looked a little strange then too. Also the giant neck beard.

10. Age 20

Carpets are not clothes.

He also wore leather chokers then.

9. Age 31

OK, what is the deal with the hair? Is it real or not? Did he straighten it? Never in his life has Justin had straight hair like this. NEVER. It’s just too weird and hard to handle. Embrace a little curl, JT!

LEATHER CHAPS AND KNIT BEANIES?!?!

7. Age 22

Twenty-two was a really grubby year for Justin. If you’re into the white-trash look, then this was your year. Personally, I think it’s pretty hot.

I just feel like 23 was a really hot year for Justin. That is all.

The “SexyBack” era. This is when Justin got really hot. Like, really hot.
