It’s not date night for Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber if it doesn’t involve some sushi, low-rise denim, and SKYLRK merch. (On her and his part respectively.)Yesterday, the Biebers were spotted out for an early midweek dinner at their favorite Sushi Fumi in Los Angeles. Both opted for their own takes on comfy casual date-wear.
