Definitive Ranking Of The 'PLL' Shirtless Scenes

March 12, 2015

During most episodes, Pretty Little Liars is pretty busy doling out intense plot twists and new mysteries about who A could possibly be. But every once in awhile, the show will be kind to the fans and have one of the boys take their shirts off. For good reason, of course: The cast of this show is phenomenal in both talent and looks. Personally, I always enjoy a good Pretty Little Liars shirtless scene. There have been quite a few through the seasons, and, though the actors say they always dread seeing one in their scripts, they are truly the best.

"When there has to be any awkward clothes displacement, everyone starts to laugh and goes 'ooohh,'" Keegan Allen, who plays Toby, said in a featurette for the series. He was the first boy to go shirtless and he's hardly stopped since. "I panic a little bit," he said of those scenes. But the fans all seem to agree that the guys look awesome in all of their shirtless scenes. (Except for the creepy guys and the devastating scenes of course.)

Turns out there are a lot of different uses for a shirtless scene that doesn't always just involve looking hot. I ranked 23 of the Pretty Little Liars' shirtless scenes from creepily traumatizing to downright sexy. Read on to see if you agree!

23. When Caleb Got Shot

Tyler Blackburn doesn't have nearly enough shirtless scenes, and this one doesn't even count because he's only stripped down because he was just shot. I demand more non-traumatizing shirtless moments, please!

22. Detective Wilden Gets Shirtless & Inappropriate

Wilden was the worst parading around in Hanna's house in a towel like he owned the place.

21. When Wren Wanted a Towel

This is back before I heavily suspected him of being A. But as cute as he may be, he was still hitting on his girlfriend's sister, which just proves he was a jerk from the start.

20. Remember Ian?

Melissa's boyfriends loved shedding their shirts, which honestly made them even creepier when they were doing it around a bunch of underage girls.

19. Self-Satisfied Ezra

Look at how smug this guy is knowing he's got Aria in the bed next to him. His attitude is kind of a turn off in this scene.

18. Shirtless Ezra Giving Life Advice

Shh... I can't focus on anything you're saying when you look like that. Just chill with the life lessons for like two seconds, teach.

17. Gangster Toby

That do-rag ruins everything about this.

16. Noel Kahn Almost Bares All

We only got to see Noel Kahn's chest once, but it was a good few seconds while it lasted. Of course Noel is also kind of the worst, which taints it a bit.

15. Aria Dreams About Jason

A little creepy, but also hot.

14. This Random Guy Riley That Aria Hooks Up With

When she parties at a college in Syracruse, Aria meets up with this guy and invites him back to her room to help her get over Ezra. We never see him again, but I'm glad we got to see his abs while we could.

13. Jason In the Hospital

Poor Jason. Still looks hot though!

12. The Original Jason Wasn't Bad Either

Before Drew Van Acker, Parker Bagley was Ali's brother, and he was just as hot.

11. Mike's All Grown-Up & Buff

Of all the men on the show, little Mike changed the most. The years were very kind to him.

10. Jason's Pick Up Basketball Game

He's always super shady and moody. But I can't deny that he's also hot.

9. Just Doing Some Yard Work

Casual, Toby. Real casual.

8. Ezra In Pajamas

Whether he's A or not, I'll always love Ezra a little bit because Ian Harding is so damn adorable.

7. Remember Aria's Martial Arts Boyfriend?

A didn't take too kindly to Jake and put a bunch of knives in his punching bag. If A is someone who likes Aria, (*cough* Ezra *cough*) it makes sense that they'd want to get Jake and his killer abs out of the picture.
