how to dress like: aria montgomery


Pretty Little Liars may not be the best of shows- but let's face it: it's addicting. It reminds me of Gossip Girl, only Pretty Little Liars is much darker, more subdued, and set in the suburbs. I'm especially a fan of the style on the show- in particular the character of Aria Montgomery.

Aria has just returned from a year in Iceland, and European style has definitely been incorporated into her wardrobe. Aria loves a darker
palette. Her style can be described as a mix of trendy and bohemian.

Here are some tips to dressing like Aria:



1. Lace
The lace trend is hanging around this season, and Aria can't get enough of it. Whether it's a pair of tights or a top, lace is a staple in Aria's wardrobe. Unfortunately- lace can easily make an outfit look trashy, or like you're trying too hard. To avoid this, Aria pairs delicate lace with items that are more rugged, such as denim or combat boots. Juxtaposition is what Aria's style is all about- both girly and edgy.


2. Bohemian
Aria is a free-spirit, and this translates into some of her whimsical outfit choices. She'll opt for floral prints, layering, and long jewelry. Of course, Aria never strays too far from her edgy look, which brings me to my next point...


3. Leather
While Aria is certainly not a tomboy, she isn't exactly a girly girl, either. She's rough around the edges but still maintains her feminine charm. She expresses this by incorporating leather into many of her outfits. Whether it's a jacket, a satchel, or simple boots, Aria can often be seen wearing something leather. It's important to remember not to overwhelm yourself in leather- it's far from a motorcycle gang look. Aria simply likes a little bit of leather to balance the more feminine aspects of her outfits.


Pretty Little Liars is on tonight at 8/7 c...who's excited? I know I am!
