Selena Gomez goes all out when it comes to a trend, especially when it comes to denim. Despite having a wide range of colors and washes in her wardrobe, the pop star’s favorite cut is the step hem. Gomez was an early adopter of the look, which is short in the front and long in the back and has been seen wearing it a lot this summer. Whether she’s wearing them with blouses, big sweaters, or lacy tanks, Gomez has been able to make even the most basic outfits aesthetically intriguing.

Gomez exhibited this on July 29, 2018, in Santa Monica, by wearing a Brandy Melville vintage-inspired AC/DC T-shirt with 7 For All Mankind’s Josefina high-waisted jeans and a pair of Balenciaga’s square toe ankle boots. Several of Gomez’s current obsessions—concert shirts, Jennifer Fisher hoops, and opulent heels—were combined into a unified outfit.

While Gomez’s favorite denim labels are 7, McGuire, and Re/Done, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have the same look. To modernize an old pair of jeans, all you need is a pair of scissors and a little know-how. It’s a hack worth trying out this summer and owing to its built-in boot compatibility, it’ll be easy to do so and equally versatile come fall.

The Canadian tuxedo’s trick is to match your jeans. Instead of pairing a dark short with an acid-washed top, meet yourself in the middle with classic washes that complement each other. Worried you’ll come across as a bit “Mom?” Don’t! Just remember to keep your accessories basic and dainty; no sporty! Take a cue from Gomez, who accessorized her denim ensemble with thin shoes and black cat-eye sunglasses that would make Sophia Loren envious. Last but not least, make sure your hair matches Gomez’s because a borrowed-from-the-boys ensemble always requires a touch of femininity.
