Everyone’s favorite TV drama has returned after a mid-season break! The CW’s, “Riverdale” has taken the world by storm, not only because of its endless mysteries and drama but because of the cast’s show-stopping wardrobe. Unlike the constant battle between fans over “Who really is the black hood?”, all viewers can agree that these high-schoolers are extremely fashionable.

With every character sporting their own unique style, whether it be Betty Cooper’s “girl next door” look or Veronica Lodge’s classic and elegant attire, fans can resonate with every character. Rebekka Sorensen-Kjelstrup and Hala Bahmet (Riverdale costume designers) have curated the perfect combination of both vintage and modern pieces encapsulating the show’s retro aesthetic and comic-book beginnings.

Betty Cooper: The Preppy Tinkerbelle
Betty, Riverdale’s, “golden girl” keeps things simple with her outfits. Perhaps, with the most practical fashion of the bunch, she resonates with many high school students. Betty is renowned for her embellished peter-pan collars peeking out over sweaters and cardigans coupled with a pair of skinny jeans – which are never ripped! Her preppy style is complemented by her love for pastels, specifically pink – giving her fashion a 50’s vibe. We cannot forget her iconic high ponytail, the final touch of this “perfect” school girl’s signature look.
