Selena Gomez, You're Selling Me on These "Ugly" Trends

I won't hide it, I'm kind of obsessed with Selena Gomez's style. These days it seems like anything Selena Gomez wears, I want to wear. Whether she's designing our dream pair of white sneakers or teaching us brand-new ways to wear leggings, you'll always find me duly taking notes of her cool off-duty outfit combinations. Lately, though, she's been testing out certain "ugly" trends I've long been on the fence about, and I have to say that the following Selena Gomez outfits are seriously selling me on the unconventional trends.

Items like grandma cardigans and wire-frame eyeglasses have always carried a nerdy connotation, but when styled by Selena herself, they're the must-have trends that she makes look infinitely cooler than anyone else I know. Curious to see which "ugly" fashion items are Selena-approved? Go on to see the six trends she's totally selling me on and then shop my picks for each of them.

Though we may have overlooked chunky knit cardigans in the past, this genius Selena Gomez outfit has us totally rethinking the cozy piece. Thrown over a pretty printed dress with white sneakers, it's casual yet still so cute.

Okay, we definitely used to think this nerdy footwear combination was a fashion "don't". But lately we've been seeing socks and loafers all over the place, and Selena Gomez's casual-cool take on the trend with skinny jeans and a graphic sweatshirt has us pretty much sold.

Whether or not Selena's wearing prescription glasses is kind of beside the point because she makes the nerdy-chic style look way more "chic" than "nerdy".

For those of us with more classic style, chunky-soled sneakers don't tend to top our shopping lists. But leave it to this sleek, all-black Selena Gomez outfit to make us reconsider platform sneakers.
