15 Best Aria Outfits From PLL Season 1

If you're a big fan of this show, you might recall that Aria Montgomery outfits from season one of Pretty Little Liars all have a similar punk theme. As the viewer, you can tell from the Aria's pink-streaked hair in flashbacks and all the black lacy numbers she wore that she's supposed to be the slightly grungy girl of the group. This archetype can tend to be somewhat clichéd when it comes to outfits (think flannels, black skinny jeans, leather jackets, boots, et cetera), but the Pretty Little Liars costume designer seems to be able to put a romantic spin on every outfit to match with Aria's sweet but sassy personality, making for some pretty cool ensembles!

In season one, Aria is definitely younger and somewhat dresses like it. But, overall, she acts more like the older girl of the group of four. Some of her wardrobe staples, including her black leather jacket, belts, boots, layered necklaces, and amazingly extensive collection of dangly earrings, are awesome and versatile. Although all the Liars have legit style, I can definitely relate more to Aria's wardrobe than that of clothes horse Hanna Marin's collection of six-inch stilettos. In fact, I even have that "KALE" tank Aria sleeps in and, at one point, had electric blue streaks in my hair, if you were still wondering which Liar I identify with most when it comes to wardrobe.

Over the years since the pilot, Aria's style has transformed, but marginally. In fact, it seems like Aria's hair has changed more than anything else. However, watching her fashion choices every season has been fun. Let's commemorate by talking about her 15 best ensembles from the first season of the show, shall we.
