How to dress like the Pretty Little Liars

It’s no secret (pun intended) that the main characters and actresses of the hit TV series Pretty Little Liars are style icons.

I’ve gotten my share of people asking, “How do I dress like Troian? Or how do I dress like the character Aria?” When asked to provide celebrity style inspiration, lots of girls are saying “I love Spencer’s style.” And even, “I want to steal Shay Mitchell’s closet.”

Well, sometimes it can be confusing as to whether people like the style of the character or the actual person. A lot of us forget that stylists and costume designers are the ones who piece together and create looks for the character; the character’s style can be a lot different from the actresses’.

I’ve spent some time researching the aesthetic costume designer,  Mandy Line, had in mind when creating looks for these characters. I even took it a step ahead and dug deep to find what the girl’s consider their own personal styles.

Below, I’ve provided a set of “must-haves” that you’ll need to achieve both the characters and the actress’s style!
