7 Things Selena Gomez Never Wears Anymore
The world is enamored with Selena Gomez (hence her 137 million—and counting—Instagram followers), and that includes an obsession with pretty much everything the It girl wears. Ever since she started working with stylist Kate Young (who also counts Sienna Miller, Dakota Johnson, and Michelle Williams as clients), Selena Gomez's style has become more polished and high-fashion, which ultimately means that there are certain things we've been seeing her wear less and less.
That said, when we sifted through her many outfits over the years (the girl has been famous for a long time), we couldn't help but notice that she's tried a lot of trends at least once. And that's one of the things we love about her. Selena's style is constantly evolving, and she's clearly willing to try new looks. But for now, these are the seven things she seems to have taken a break from.
Keep scrolling to see them all, and shop the trends that Gomez is wearing instead!
She Never Wears…
"Girly" Pieces
While many of her looks are certainly feminine, you won't often find Gomez wearing frills and bows. She favors pieces that are modern and clean both on-duty and off.
What She Wears Instead: Sleek, Sophisticated Pieces
On Selena Gomez: Uniqlo top; AYR The Arrow Pants in Black ($185); Brian Atwood heels; Givenchy Horizon Grained Calfskin Leather Tote ($2690)
She Never Wears…
Low-Rise Jeans
Gomez once donned low-slung jeans on occasion, but these days, she's much keener on high-waisted styles, which she often pairs with crop tops.
What She Wears Instead: High-Waisted Jeans
On Selena Gomez: Coach Swagger Carryall ($550); Balenciaga Ankle Boots ($1015)
She Never Wears…
Oversize Shades
You won't find Gomez going anywhere near a pair of oversize cat-eye sunglasses these days, despite the fact that they're a trend. Instead, she's donning another current trend—small, colored lens shades.
What She Wears Instead: Colored Lens Shades
On Selena Gomez: Caviar 8860 Midas Series Sunglasses ($300); Coach Dinosaur Motif Crewneck Sweater ($695); Vetements jeans; Kurt Geiger Ellen Taupe High Heel Court Shoes ($230)
She Never Wears…
Crossbody Bags
The convenience of a hands-free crossbody bag is tempting, but Gomez is usually seen carrying a structured satchel in her hand instead (often by Coach, which she's designing a future collection with).
What She Wears Instead: Top-Handle Satchels
On Selena Gomez: Miaou Tommy Jean Pinstripe ($325); Robert Clergerie Alice Mules ($550); Coach bag
Our Pick:
She Never Wears…
Pink
Although we haven't seen Gomez wearing anything pink in quite some time (although she was fond of the hue in her Disney days), she seems to wear red more than any other color as of late.
What She Wears Instead: Red
On Selena Gomez: Coach Shrunken Varsity Jacket ($795) and dress
She Never Wears…
Shorts
We couldn't help but notice that Gomez hasn't been photographed wearing shorts much in the past two years. With summer approaching, we'll soon find out if she sticks with her beloved jeans.
What She Wears Instead: Skinny Jeans
On Selena Gomez: Fallon Monarch Crystal-Trimmed Bandana Choker ($160); J Brand Maria High Waist Skinny Jeans ($141); Stuart Weitzman The Nuggets Sneaker ($199)
Our Pick:
Available in sizes 24 to 32.
She Never Wears…
Shoulder Pads
Gomez shared with Vogue recently that shoulder pads are a trend she'll never wear again. On the flip side, she often wears easy, comfortable hoodies and sweatshirts. Can you blame her?
What She Wears Instead: Sweatshirts
On Selena Gomez: Dior sunglasses; Vetements sweatshirt and sweatpants; Jimmy Choo shoes
She Never Wears…
Bomber Jackets
Gomez seems to have moved on from bomber jackets (but not varsity jackets, as you'll see above on slide 9), and has fully embracing cozy oversized cardigans as of late, wearing them with everything from dresses to leggings.
What She Wears Instead: Cardigans
On Selena Gomez: Reformation Harbor Dress ($248)
