This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSB chapter.

There are many styles in women’s fashion that guys and girls love, but there are also many that only girls love. Although we’re not claiming to speak for every guy on the planet, here’s a run-down, in no particular order, of a few trends we’ve noticed are not too popular with men:

Hi, Collegiettes! I'm Carmen, a Communication major at University of California, Santa Barbara and one of two Campus Correspondents for UCSB. I would love to one day work in either fashion, food, tech, financial services or philanthropy. My dream is to find a job that somehow combines several of those elements. Until I get there, I'll be munching on copious amounts of Trader Joe's dried mango, jamming out to my man, Frank Sinatra, and focusing on creating intriguing content! If you like my writing, talk to me. ;)
