Leave It to Selena Gomez to Find a New Way to Wear Leggings

Selena Gomez is one of our go-to celebs for legging inspo, as she's a pro at finding fresh ways of styling them for both workouts and the street. Her latest legging look was a stellar example of the latter—on the streets of Los Angeles, specifically. Instead of wearing her black leggings and sneakers with no-show socks, Gomez opted for a pair of ankle-length tube socks, which she tucked her leggings into. The resulting look gave off subtle retro vibes and felt especially effortless thanks to her addition of an oversize tee and chunky cardigan.
Regardless of her current relationship status with Justin Beiber, we couldn't help but wonder if the styling trick Gomez utilized with her leggings was inspired by her on-again, off-again flame, who has displayed his affinity for tube socks on repeat occasions (usually with sneakers and shorts).
Keep scrolling to decide whether you want to follow in Gomez's lead and shake up your legging game.
