Dakota Johnson is a fashion girl through and through. That's why we chose her as the next celebrity It girl we're investigating to determine the things she never wears (did you catch Selena Gomez, Olivia Palermo, and Amal Clooney?). Because in our eyes, what someone chooses not to wear is just as strong an indicator of their style as the things they like.
One of the many things we love about Johnson is that she sticks to her classic aesthetic but can seamlessly incorporate the latest trends and effortlessly pull off high-fashion It pieces. She is one of Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele's muses, after all.
While Johnson may have worn some of the below items in the past, you'd be hard-pressed to find any appearance of them in her current wardrobe.
With that, read on to find out which fashion items she never wears and to shop what she's wearing instead!

Although track pants are a major 2017 trend, Johnson prefers formfitting leggings when she's off duty, pairing them with pool slides or cool sneakers.
What She Wears Instead: Leggings
