The One Thing 10 Celebrities Never Wear

It seems like celebrities are able to pull off just about any fashion trend. Teeny-tiny crops tops? You bet. Oversize sweaters? They manage to make them look cool instead of sloppy. Blazers? They know exactly how they should be tailored to look chic instead of corporate. For all of their experimentation with fashion trends, though, it’s clear that there are some pieces celebrities will never wear.

After studying the outfits of the most fashionable celebs, we observed some noticeable items that they habitually skip and some style rules they stick to instead. Sarah Jessica Parker favors heels over flats, much like her character Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City. On the other hand, Bella Hadid never wears midi dresses—instead opting for mini cuts or floor-sweeping styles. What are some of the other fashion items you’ll never spot celebs wearing? Scroll down to find out.
