If you want to slowly transition your wardrobe to get Cheryl’s style, try these tips!

* Cheryl is known for wearing the colors red and black within her outfits. The color red is mostly seen in her tops, once in a blue moon on her skirts, whereas her bottoms are black (and appears interchangeably between her bottoms and tops). Invest in blouses that offer a tie neck, those appearing throughout Cheryl’s wardrobe. If buying a crop top, she seems to favor twist ones (can be seen in episode 2&7). Simple cherry print tops are never something to turn down. 

* Cheryl’s “persona” seems to revolve around the idea of cherries. Buy vintage cherry pins (best website is etsy) to attach to your top. Besides cherries, just invest in vintage pins in general. They can be seen added throughout her wardrobe so be it on her belt or shirt. 

* If you’re not as comfortable showing your legs off as Cheryl, slip on some black tights (not leggings) underneath your skirt or pair your outfit off with some black knee high socks! 

* If it’s cold outside and a long sleeve blouse/top won’t suffice, slip on a leather jacket (keep it red or black) to stay warm. If leather isn’t your preference, substitute it with an elegant blazer, nothing too extreme that would take away from the outfit but rather add on to it. 

* If you’re buying more shoes - Cheryl strictly sticks to heels. Invest in black and red open toed shoes along with a closed pair. If the heel is closed, avoid a round front. Go for more of a pointed toe. Material wise, don’t pick out anything suede. Faux/normal leather is the way to go, preferably patent leather to provide the heel with a glossy look. 

* Switch your backpacks to shoulder bags. Make sure the strap is solid or is a chain/wrapped in chain. Never go for anything heavily jeweled. Keep it simple. 

* With dresses, she has seemingly made sure they are collared. Buy dresses where the collar is never plain, it always being different from the rest of the dress (but isn’t over the top). An example would be the collar being an evidently different material/having a different texture than the dress. Simple embroidery is also an option. 

* For necklaces, keep it to the maximum of black chokers. 

* Every time you pick something off the rack/shelf, ask yourself: Is it something you can see Cheryl wear?

Veronica Lodge Essentials 

A rough guide on how to get Ronnie’s style.  

Her outfits usually consist of… 

* Fitted tops 

* High neck tops 

* Ribbed tops 

* Collared dresses 

* Fitted miniskirts  

* Pencil Skirts 

* Plaid skirts 

* A-line dresses 

* Heels 

* Shoulder bags 

* Handbags

* Cape 

* Pearls 

* Crop tops

If you want to slowly transition your wardrobe to get Veronica’s style, try these tips! 

* Veronica can be seen mainly wearing colors ranging from burgundy to purple, purple being the dominant color. She is more likely to wear a purple top rather than skirt so I would invest in more tops in that color rather than skirts. Keep the sleeves short!!Her tops never really appear to be long sleeved (rare to see it), it always seeming to be sleeveless and even when it's short sleeved, it only reaches half way down her shoulder. For tops, stay away from embroidered or embellished ones and keep solid colors. Shades of blues have appeared on her too. Simple yet classy is what you want. 

* If you're not comfortable showing your arms off like Veronica, throw a sleek blazer or coat over them. 

* When it comes to skirts, plaid is the number one go to pattern. Ronnie can be seen wearing plaid skirt patterns throughout a numerous amount of episodes. Also stock up on pencil styled skirts! They are popular throughout her wardrobe and it's paired nicely with a crop top or a fitted top that can be tucked into the skirt. 

* If you’re buying more shoes - sandal heels are a reoccurring item in her wardrobe. Search for heels that are open toed and have an ankle wrap. Materials you want to go for are (faux) suede and (faux) leather. Stay away from shoes with too much bling. A bit of fringe attached to the heel on the side is okay (e.g. on the ankle wrap). 

* Switch your backpacks to a handbag, cross body bags, or bags with a long strap. An okay color to have would be black and it pairs nicely with everything. 

* With dresses, fit and flares along with a-line dresses are what you want. Here is where embellishment and embroidery is acceptable. Collared dresses are high in her wardrobe but so are lace, high neck ones. If it doesn't have either other, it is most likely paired up with some sort of jewelry to make up for the loss of design. 

* Veronica's necklaces are simple, it normally revolving around pearls or a tie choker. Each item can be found in stores like Forever 21, H&M, Etsy, and Amazon. Avoid chunky necklaces or thick chains, stick to the basics.  

* Everytime you pick something off the rack/shelf, ask yourself: Is it something you can see Veronica wear?

Jughead Jones Essentials

A rough guide on how to get Jughead’s style. 

His outfits usually consist of…

* Plaid button downs/flannels

* Denim Jackets

* Borg lined jackets

* Graphic tees

* Jeans

* Beanie

* Sweaters

* Suspenders

* Bracelets

If you want to slowly transition your wardrobe to get Jughead’s style, try these tips!

* Layer your clothes! Jughead can always be seen wearing a minimum of three layers: his tee, flannel, and then jacket. 

* Jughead has a lumberjack/grunge vibe when it comes to the style of his outfits so there’s no doubt when I say stock up on your flannels. Unlike Archie, Jughead is known to wear darker colors like blacks and greys but with flannels, dark greens and reds are exceptions.

* Readdressing the first tip, layers are always a go to but on days you’d rather keep it a minimum, wear your flannel around your waist instead of under your jacket. 

* Yes, dark colors are your number one choice when picking out items but don’t be afraid of light colors either. In two episodes, Jughead can be seen in vintage, light wash jackets.

* Surprisingly, suspenders are apart of his wardrobe. He doesn’t wear them over his shoulders but he does allow them to hang low against his legs. Black suspenders aren’t necessary but they do add to the outfit.

* When he’s not drowning himself in clothes, Jughead can be seen wearing sweaters. Invest in sweaters with dark shades such as black or navy blue. Green is okay but keep it a dark forest green and if you want red, keep it dark as well. Buy sweaters that have a waffle pattern or contain any patches (e.g. shoulder patches or elbow patches).

* With jeans, look for the washed out, vintage style. Tears in the jeans are also suggested seeing as how it holds together the idea of Jughead’s style.

* Combat boots and converse!! Keep them black. 

* Jughead can be seen wearing a numerous amount of bracelets on his wrist, mainly beaded and string/braided ones. Never just wear one if you do end up buying the accessory. Much like his tops when layering them, layer your bracelets.

* Everytime you pick something off the rack/shelf, ask yourself: Is it something you can see Jughead wear?

Betty Cooper Essentials

A rough guide on how to get Betty’s style. 

Her outfits usually consist of…

* Sweaters

* Jeans

* Skirts 

* Fitted Cardigans

* Jackets

* Sleeveless tops

* Blouses

* Jewelry

If you want to slowly transition your wardrobe to get Betty’s style, try these tips!

* Pastels, pastels, pastels! Betty is portrayed as “The Girl Next Door”. The innocent, good girl. Her wardrobe consists of tops/sweaters filled with pastels, mainly shades of blues and pinks. If you’re up for a change one day, switch to a light shade of red or mustard yellow. 

* Wear your camisoles and tank tops under cute cardigans. 

* Betty can be seen wearing a pair of brown/taupe ankle boots in a few episodes along with some grey converse. Invest in boots that are comfy and durable and wear them when you are more “dressed up” (e.g. a nice camisole or blouse paired with a cardigan) and wear your simple shoes, like converse or keds, on days when you are dressed more relaxed and comfy (e.g. wearing a sweater). 

* When it comes to bags, keep in mind Betty is more on the girly side. In the show she can be seen carrying around a floral light blue backpack. If you’re going for solid colors, go for light pinks and blues (maybe white) and for printed patterns, floral is your go to but polka dots will suffice.

* Keep the jewelry simple. Never wear over the top necklaces or earrings. Simple pendant necklaces and stud earrings are prominent throughout Betty’s wardrobe. 

* Keep in mind Betty’s style is simple and comfy yet classy. 

* Everytime you pick something off the rack/shelf, ask yourself: Is it something you can see Betty wear?

Archie Andrews Essentials

A rough guide on how to get Archie’s style. 

His outfits usually consist of…

* Solid/colorblock henley shirts

* White V-neck

* Plain jeans

* Fitted cardigans !!

* Varsity Jacket

* Blended tees/pocket tees

* Long sleeves

* Hoodie

* Belts

* Coat/Jacket

* Sneakers

If you want to slowly transition your wardrobe to get Archie’s style, try these tips!

* Find yourself a cardigan that can be paired easily with any top. Archie can be seen wearing his signature navy cardigan throughout multiple episodes and it pairs well with each top he wears. These cardigans can range from the material cotton to wool. 

* Some of your tops are likely to fit in with Archie’s style as long as they are aren’t graphic tees (keep them simple). Archie seems to steer away from dark colors when it comes to this article of clothing and can be seen in colors like grey, green, white, red/blue. He hasn’t appeared in black and I don’t think he will unless it’s a suit/tux. On the occasion, a navy shirt is acceptable as long as you don’t pair it with another dark item (e.g. don’t wear a navy shirt with a black cardigan/jacket or black/dark blue jeans)

* If you’re buying more shoes - less is more. Converse shoes are popular among Archie (more specifically grey ones). Color wise, I would select neutral tones; browns and greys.

* When it comes to book-bags or an everyday carry along bag, go for a vintage style. Archie is seen carrying around a grey/brown vintage bag . 

* Every time you pick something off the rack/shelf, ask yourself: Is it something you can see Archie wear?
