Veronica Mars is all about style. This CW drama, which ended its short run in 2007, followed intrepid private eye Veronica Mars, a teenager navigating the ups and downs of high school while investigating sordid cases on the side. Her life hasn’t always been easy, and she would often adopt a tough and cynical attitude towards, well, everyone.

But she always faced adversity with grace, a cute-as-a-button demeanor, and a razor-sharp quip. Her wardrobe reflects the hard and soft of her personality. Here are our ten of our favorite outfits Veronica Mars wore throughout the years.

1. “Credit Where Credit’s Due” (Season 1 Episode 2)

You can see a general trend of greens and pinks in Veronica’s outfits throughout Season 1. This outfit gets special mention because it’s cute and perky, and the pink calls back to her sweetheart status of yore. But the camouflage skirt gives the ensemble a bit of an edge, and the hat is the perfect accessory.

2. “The Wrath of Con” (Season 1 Episode 4)

Veronica’s outfit for her date with Troy is a great example of how to dress for a special occasion while on a high school budget. The sheer, sparkly top is an inspired way to make jeans look fancy.

3. “You Think You Know Somebody” (Season 1 Episode 5)

This is one of my favorite outfits, simply because it’s so unique, and every piece fits together perfectly. The scarf ties the shirt and jacket together with the orange and blue tones, and the black, ruffled skirt is a great match. What makes this outfit pop even more are the patterned, knee-high socks, paired with butch boots.

4. “Clash of the Tritons” (Season 1 Episode 12)

The camo skirt makes a reappearance in this episode. This outfit is perfectly edgy. The jacket and shirt are plain, but the skirt paired with black tights and black leather boots definitely make a bold statement. If anything, it’s a great outfit for karaoke.

5. “A Trip to the Dentist” (Season 1 Episode 21)

This ensemble is fairly simple, but one should never underestimate the power of a good blouse. This grey blouse is fitted perfectly, and the slightly poofy shoulders make the top both elegant and feminine.
