SelenaGomezRedShirtTrenchBlackFlares
Selena Gomez has long been my go-to for petite fashion inspiration. So when I saw this particular look I was amazed. Wide-leg or flared pants can often overwhelm small frames, but this tailored pair is the perfect example of how to wear the trend. Selena styled the fitted pant with a bright red long-sleeve top, a double-breasted camel coat, black sunglasses, a structured bag and rounded-toe cream heels. The trench is definitely my favorite piece from this look, a lightweight coat is a must-have for occasional rain and the varying temperatures of spring. Our find is a steal from Mango retailing for just under $120. Read on to get this piece and the rest of Selena's look for less.

I love the versatility that this pairing offers for all-season wear. Plus, the pops of color and contrast between the blue and yellow in this look make it a must-have.
