Since "Pretty Little Liars" aired on ABC Family, the show has been a major hit, not only because of the thrilling and suspenseful plot, but also because of the chic and trendy ensembles the characters wear each episode. 

However, they don't always get it right. Let’s take a look at some of the fashion hits & misses throughout the five seasons of the stylish drama.

Aria Montgomery

Fans of "Pretty Little Liars" are always raving about Aria's style on the show. However, the brunette isn’t immune to some fashion missteps every once in a while. 

On the right, Aria dons a peplum-midriff top paired with a denim skirt and a chunky belt. All of these pieces mixed together translate into only one thing—a fashion disaster!

But, the outfit on the left proves why Aria is one of the most popular characters. Her style is so unique and different from the rest of the girls. The outfit has a vintage feel with the headband, but she still manages to keep her burgundy dress fun and modern with the black-and-white striped layer underneath.

Spencer Hastings

Although Fourth of July is a national holiday, Spencer's patriotic striped and starry ensemble on the right is just too distracting. The entire look is frumpy and certainly not her best work.

However, on the left-hand side, Spencer styles a printed navy dress with an olive-colored blazer, which complements her slender frame perfectly.

Emily Fields

Athletic Emily Fields always rocks outfits that have a casual laid-back vibe, usually skinny jeans and a tee. But, she missed when she chose to pair a blouse with holes with a bright white bra. Quite frankly, it looks like the dryer ate her shirt, which is never okay!

On the right side, she wears a white wedding dress. In this episode, the girls sign up to model in a fashion show, and since Emily is rarely seen in a dress, this one takes the cake out of all the other “Pretty Little Liars” characters!

Hanna Marin

Hanna is definitely the most feminine out of the group, and she always dresses to impress. Her closet is full of bold, bright colors and trendy options that are wearable for any girl. 

But, before we send this pretty little liar off to the fashion Hall of Fame, Hanna did have a misstep in the photo on the right when she wore a turquoise blouse with gold detailing and paired it with a white belt. This look is just too overwhelming with all the accents and accessories.

She makes up for it on the left with a light pink dress that she complements with an interesting belt. Hanna completes the look with a statement necklace, allowing her belt to most of the talking.

Alison DiLaurentis

Alison has mostly been seen either wearing a black hoodie or a ruffled yellow tank top. But, despite her minimalistic clothing choices, she still commits a fashion crime with that black dress on the right. Black dresses are one of the simplest outfits to wear, but they can still be easily ruined with the wrong details. 

Alison reclaims her throne with this fierce look on the left. It’s colorful and powerful—just like her. Every Queen Bee needs to prove that she is in charge, and this outfit says it all!
