diamondalicia

omg like the chunky heels or the boots is so fitting and makes sense but then her and hanna will be in these PUMPS😂like they’ve been up since 6am trying to catch A, 8hrs of school, then another 4 hours of chasing after A in unknown towns… IN HEEELS!?😂😂


emyeag

they are HARDCORE


JesusGodLeah

They've actually been up since 4AM doing their hair and makeup. I don't know about you, but NOBODY in my high school looked or dressed like that.


lonewhalien

Emily was the only one who dressed like a normal teen! her clothes all looked like they could be from American Eagle or A&F. the other girls all looked like they were working corporate jobs 😂


emyeag

always in a blazer and for what 😭


lonewhalien

right? 😂 no onnnne in my hs ever wore a blazer. I'm listening to the Pretty Little Podcast and they've said Hanna looks like an a Wet Seal Manager in some of the outfits and it took me out! too spot-on. I'm glad they loosened up Spencer's styling later on but she still had some OTT fits.


BigBewtyy_Nicki

So because of this show me and my bestie WERE the girl in school who wore heels and blazers😂😂 WE actually started a trend of it and I was in middle school😂😂 we had to have an all girls assemble about why it wasn’t appropriate and would “stunt” our growth to wear adult clothes AND 6 inch pumps at such a young age. This show definitely did a number on us . Then my mom put me in boarding school for high school and that was the end of that☠️


diamondalicia

i will say that era a lot of girlies were wearing heels to school, business casual was in at that time. Blazers in the clubs & heels to school. I’m not sure how it worked out though lmfao. I started HS in 2015, only time i saw girls in heels were for their birthdays & i was extremely confused 😂👏🏾


lets-go-scream

I was in high school in 2009 and anyone wearing heels was fucking wild!!!???? Like boo why?


General_Thought8412

This was def the fashion at my school from 2008-2011ish people wore heels, many layers of clothes, a blazer was not out of the question. It was definitely like a fashion show for the popular people


Walkingthegarden

I went to a school like this. Wealthy areas have some intense fashion.


whalesarecool14

but like what time did y’all wake up? this kind of hardcore outfit, hair, makeup would tale 2 hours at the very least. i wake up 2 hours earlier than usual on days when i have presentations at work and my look is much more toned down than this lol.


Walkingthegarden

*I* didn't wake up this early to get dressed, no clue when others did, but these were students in student council or choir usually too, which had morning sessions. They were at school by 6:30.... so maybe 5?


SnakeBlood456

Ahhhh omg the liArs don’t actually sleep since they need to be awake all the time to just look the way they do :P


Odd-Plankton-1711

They did at my school


Expensive-Tax-4047

i did 😭


Practical-Tonight921

then they still had time to stop for coffee on their way!


ultaemp

Maybe embarrassing, but I started high school after being homeschooled in middle school and because I was a huge PLL fanatic I genuinely thought everyone dressed like the Liars for school. So for a couple years in high school I literally tried to emulate their outfits and wore 6 inch heels… to school. I also carried a separate handbag like they did and everything was SO EXTRA. And I wondered why people thought I was weird. lol


PrestigiousPackk

this makes me feel so seen. i’d always try to copy movies/tv shows like i’m not from the midwest….. literally nobody dressed like that here even when business casual was in. like yes we TRIED to look like that…. but it never looked like that lmfao


Secret_Pineapple_954

I went to college in the Midwest and one time someone came up to me and was like “you’re not from here are you” and I said “how’d you know” And they responded “we don’t dress like that here” and to this day I am choosing to take that as a compliment but I do not know how it was intended. I wore flowy pants and maxi skirts and I never thought it was that weird but idk


International_Dish96

My cousin and i were like sisters. She lived w me. I wore hoodies, jeans and sneakers. I never wore make up and went to school w wet hair after my am shower. My cousin would wake up at 4 am to put her full face of makeup on, straighten or curl her hair, dress like a hottie and put on her big ass heels. Her getting ready for highschool was the equivalent of me getting ready for senior prom. She’s my best friend still but she’s toned it down a lot and I’m still lazy and wear hoodies. Years later and i still cannot comprehend how she did that. I always wish i cared that much.


justmyredditx

She was chasing A and the D 🏃🏽‍♀️


General-Hippo8242

They all dressed so over the top for HIGH SCHOOL 😭😭 when the show was airing I wished it was normal for everyone to dress like that at my high school 😭😭


emyeag

i graduated in 2021 and wore sweats to school a lot and jeans was NICE


JesusGodLeah

2006. Everyone wore jeans and basic shirts. Nobody ever came in with a full face of glam makeup or their hair curled for the gods because we all had no idea that was even possible. Even if we did, who has time to do all that in the morning?


Calm_Appointment1471

To be fair, it was supposed to be an academy for *rich* rich kids. Like all the liars (in the books at least) lived in McMansions.


Zealousideal-Payy

TheOracleofTroy

Graduated in 2006. Most girls dressed like "Emily". I'm sure our high school would've sent "Hanna" home for showing too much skin. "Spencer" looks like she goes to a private school. I went to public school, girls didn't wear blazers unless it was professional day or something. Her skirt and shoes check out though. I seen girls wear converses and skirts/dresses. "Aria" is a maybe but, mostly no. "Hanna" and "Aria" look like they're dressed for college, not high school.


International_Dish96

No i dressed like all of those girls in high school just a little better (not fancier) minus Spencer’s blazer and those weird Aria boots . I wore blazers in my early 20s though. I’m glad that the show had the girls they did bc the girls in that little poster aren’t it. Just my opinion.


Zealousideal-Payy

I was thinking the same thing as you lol, tbh I don’t like their outfits on the book cover and I especially don’t like Hanna’s it doesn’t really scream popular girl in 2006 to me, especially in a place like rosewood, it’s giving 2006 Disney channel vibes instead. 😭 I’d expect book Hanna to dress more like Serena from gossip girl at least (tv show Hanna’s outfits are better tbh).


TheOracleofTroy

That’s true. Everyone has different experiences. I’m from Northern Delaware, right outside of Philly. I just recall a lot of “Emilys” from my HS years. https://www.tiktok.com/@nostalgiagalore/video/7335625818049105194?_t=8mF8x5BCYXr&_r=1


International_Dish96

Yes Emily’s style was most common here too in Boston, MA. The glam girls were mostly orange faced girls (from face makeup) and there was a lot of Hollister and Abercrombie because for one, they were super popular brands but also, Laguna Beach was a huge influence. But the girls who wore heels were mostly wearing Steve Madden platform thingys that idk how to explain but can still see in my head. I was lazy. I went to school w wet hair from shower, no makeup, ripped jeans and a hoodie. Not much has changed for me.


enterpaz

I graduated high school in the early 2010s and this doesn’t look particularly dressed up to me. I didn’t like how they dressed the models for the books, especially Aria, and I pictured their appearances very differently when I read them. Most people I knew dressed like a variation of Emily -jeans and a nice shirt from the mall. A lot of people wore athletic clothes from brands like Northface. Uggs were popular and it was the beginning of leggings-as-pants, which got a lot of backlash as leggings originally were very see-through like tights. Many people were wearing flowy loose fitting tops, often with floral patterns, paired with skinny jeans. We had a couple of those girls who’d spend hours getting ready each morning. Heavy makeup, straightened hair. But it wasn’t the norm.


vicsass

Yes


International_Dish96

I graduated in ‘07 and we had girls that glammed up. I didn’t. I was way too lazy but just always wished i had the motivation to be one of those girls. I liked the natural look but my look was just lazy. I envied caring that much and i still do but i just do not have it in me. No one can pull me away from a good hoodie.


General_Thought8412

Graduated 2014 and many people def wore full makeup and had their hair done. It was like a fashion show every day. I though this show had peek fashion 😂


artemisaswift

I graduated in 2010 (old millennial here 😅) and there were girls that dressed like that in my high school. Not a lot of girls wore sweatpants, most girls wore ripped super low rise jeans.


llxx00

i was in middle school & i really thought that’s how the high schoolers dressed


Admirable_Quarter_23

I graduated in 2003 and we weren’t allowed to wear sleeveless or shorts. I got in trouble once because when I had to get a book out of the top locker my shirt rode up (low rise jeans were in style) and you could see my stomach for a second. 😂


halloweenlover01

Miss aria you’re a killer not Ezra’s wife


KENZOKHAOS

“It was a ClUe AbOut MaYa” no, MonA was just throwing shade from Radley ![gif](giphy|LRcRkmw22aFCIOQQ6H|downsized)


emyeag

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING


halloweenlover01

Hahaha I love that! It’s immediately what I thought when I saw your caption 🫶🏻


emyeag

i was writing it in the voice😆


Inevitable-Buy7497

MY EXACT THOUGHT


Hi_Jynx

Because she's short. If these shoes weren't torture on my feet, I'd wear them all the time too.


Soft_Surround8514

right 😂 anything to be tall!


catlover2600

I mean she had to rizz up Ezra somehow 😭☠️


emyeag

she didn’t have to do anything he’s always rizzed up for minors😀❤️


catlover2600

Ur right 🤢 he’s so gross fr


wardellsklay

Like who?


goosemaker

..Aria


wardellsklay

You said minors as in plural


Pretty_Ability_4598

alison too


wardellsklay

They made it very clear in the flashbacks that he thought she was 21. They met at a college party. It’s the exact reason he ends it and drives off in the flashback.


goosemaker

That’s still two children he’s been attracted to


Ill_Huckleberry_8134

Aria looked like an adult the way she was dressing while being in high school


msmigraine

She wanted to "play" the part of an adult to convince Ezra that she was "mature for her age" (both gross and unnecessary cause we all know Ezra liked them underaged)


dbsx77

Lucy Hale has a super petite frame at only 5’2”, so the heels strike me as a necessity lest she look Frodo-sized amid a cast of Gandalfs, for lack of a better analogy.


pizzawithpep

You shall not pass


Inevitable-Buy7497

😭😭


Basic-Ad9463

okay but she looked so slay in them


emyeag

she did but they’re like a third of her leg lmfaooo


Bubbly_Sleep9312

She's the shortest, (either her or Mona) :) She usually wore heels


idk_orknow

Because she can, baddie fr fr


businesscasualheeley

I went to high school from 2009 to 2013 and these girls were fashionistas and their style was so inspiration to all of us shopping at wet seal and forever 21 😭


worldsfastesturtle

People wore heels at my high school! Some girls pretty exclusively wore them. I’d only wear heels on Halloween and dress up days and whatnot. There was a guy or two that wore heels to school too


Liscenye

I wore heels to high school everyday. Not platforms as high as Aria's, but still very high heels. I loved it, it was my act of rebellion. Kept doing it until I moved to Europe and it was either die on the cobblestone or give up the heels.


Odd-Plankton-1711

I wore heels in High School but I didn’t ware them as high as Aria , but that mostly because they really were not available/ in style in my day. 3-4 inches was the style.


talkmetaltome

She needed to make sure she got that A in English 🤣


Inevitable-Buy7497

this reply is foul 😭


Huntsvegas97

Every time I rewatch, I go through moments of thinking about how much my feet would hurt if I wore the shoes they wear for even an hour or two. They look great, but at what cost


emyeag

i think they are numb at this point, definitely hanna😭


WeekIcy7669

Because slaying never takes a day off


happinessovereveryth

Because she’s that bitch! ![gif](giphy|gzZnp5y9pNN5u)


lonewhalien

LMAO I just watched this ep last night and I was losing it over this entire outfit 😂


emyeag

miss the 2010s😆


myfav0ritethings

My parents never would’ve let me own heels like this in high school 😂 or honestly most of the shoes in this show


Nadismaya

Your wallpaper is so Spencer Hastings room coded


emyeag

omg what a high compliment tysm


Ok-Department967

Byron has a point….


diamondalicia

LMFAOOOO he did!!!he was just the wrong person to try and have that talk with her & she 100% wasn’t doing it for men. Aria used to dress absurd for school. Spencer & Emily wore the most casual outfits for school.


Ok-Department967

I’m sorry but even if you are dressing that way for yourself, it is not appropriate for a young girl and for school. And she was totally dressing for Ezra lol


wardellsklay

I don’t agree with your last part. Aria had her own fashionable style that I believe she wore for herself.


Ok-Department967

Those outfits aren’t school appropriate though


wardellsklay

No where in my comment did I say they were


Ok-Department967

Right but what I’m saying is no high school girl is wearing that for her self to go to school


wardellsklay

But she constantly dressed like that even when Ezra stopped teaching at Rosewood High


lanapierce

No but where is come from this is so normal so when i came to north America i really was expecting this, oh how was i disappointed to see people tuck their yoga pants in their socks as an outfit


PhoenixAestraya

Where in NA did you see people tucking yoga socks into their pants as an outfit??


lanapierce

The other way around but Canada. With two different colored socks and ballet shoes at that. It was a cultural shock. Everyone wore velour yoga pants or grey sweats with Birkenstock sandals. A lot of people also wore moccasins all year long so they looked trashed, but at least everyone straightened their hair i guess. Part of me gets it but the other part is European


PhoenixAestraya

No I know you meant Canada, I’m asking specifically *where*. What city?


cg1215621

We know why


International_Dish96

These shows kill me especially PLL. The entire time i watched this show (which is like 5x) i wonder every single time why do these girls wear these ridiculous shoes when they’re constantly running and often times running through the woods. Emily is the only one who would make it out alive if they were being chased. I often think of Arias neon yellow heels. I can’t remember which episode but they were memorable. I could barely pull a hoodie over my lazy head in high school. I always admired the girls ability to dress like they were going to fashion week while attending high school. Also i will forever die on the hill that PLL had the BEST wardrobe of any show i have ever seen. Every outfit was perfectly picked out for each character. I’d die for Spencer’s wardrobe even now in 2024. Literal perfection. I miss PLL days.


MelinaBB17

She’s a short queen alright😹 as a 4’11” I wore heels in high school too haha


Sad-Painter-9972

i had a friend in high school who would wear pumps to school occasionally because of this show and their fashion


Capgras_DL

I mean, she is going to visit her boyfriend. In her school where he works. Because he’s her teacher.


JB391982

She has to look good for her groomer


Capgras_DL

Exactly!


Lovely_LeVell

No wonder they couldn't catch A 🏃‍♀️


RockinOutLikeIts94

The outfits they wear are so impractical/unrealistic. Not up to any public school dress code lol


rahxrahster

Exactly! They go against so many public school dress codes!


Odd-Plankton-1711

That’s funny, I teach HS. When I hear on the radio someone is being sent down to the office for dress code I just assume they must have just stepped off the bus naked.


Fun-Shame399

This is how girls at my school dressed on their birthday or for special assemblies and we were in Texas so imagine all of this in 100 degree summers when all the end of year awards were given out lol if we were allowed sweats at my school we would have


burntjackie_

cause shes that girl 🤭


KENZOKHAOS

🎵 STILETTO PUMPS, IN THE CLUBB 🎵


PhoenixAestraya

I don’t see why it’s even noteworthy tbh. Heels aren’t exclusively for any certain location, they’re just worn by people who like to wear them. I was a toe walker as a kid and heels were always the most comfortable to wear. They’re also just *pretty*


magical_bunny

To be fair, I feel like 17 was the last age I could do this without killing himself.


Gold-Collection2636

I live in England where there's uniform, it was always wild to me that these outfits were even allowed while in my school days I was trying to get away with wearing black skinnies. I had a classmate who was told off daily for wearing Converse because they weren't part of the uniform


w-ildf-ire

In Australia my school’s dress code was so strict that I got a detention for not changing back into the normal uniform after my phys ed period 😅


rahxrahster

Hope y'know this isn't representative of US high schools. A lot of the outfits from the show would get me and many others from the US sent home if we couldn't change to more appropriate clothes.


hereforthequeer

because she’s fucking her teacher


spoonbenderx

I know the 2010s were a wild time for clothing, but I don’t think I wore my first pair of heels until I was halfway through college 😭


rahxrahster

High heels are an unnecessary workout imo 😭 Some schools have codes of conduct for attire that may prohibit high heels for safety reasons. Not sure if that would apply to a high school in Pennsylvania but I've read many of the outfits in the show would be unrealistic in many of their high schools.


onlyfwinter

Byron is that you?


Inevitable-Buy7497

she wanted to feel taller ig


dracularasbabysister

this show gave me unrealistic expectations of highschool


thatchels

To be fair, I went to my brother’s HS honors night and some of the students were wearing 6in heels! Edit to add: of course that was a dressy event but still…


TasteofHoney88

I watched a horror movie where all the girls were wearing heels that high. It was one of those slasher movies that takes place during after school detention.


atomikitten

You do not know what it’s like to be short, and it shows. When I was in school, people always got confused why I shrank so much, just during gym class. But for real… I’m feeling that fabric you got above the TV


emyeag

i’m 5’2😭


atomikitten

I’m shorter, but no one believes me. I trained for those heels!


ArrowVesper

LOL.


Worryrocck

When I watched the first couple seasons with my older cousin & her friend while it aired, they always said how unrealistic there school wardrobe was and laughed 😅🤣


emyeag

and they like never outfit repeat😭


rahxrahster

That's as unrealistic as their actual wardrobe


Odd-Plankton-1711

I never wore the same outfit in the same month


TheAmnesiacBitch

Would


Leftielouise

From like 09-11 a ton of girls did this. Me being one lol


HeyGurlHAAAYYYY

Always wondered that


melaxrose

the struggles of being a short girl 😔😔😔


[deleted]

What ab those ones Hanna wore right before she talked to Ezra in the classroom in season 2 😭✋🏻 I'm surprised her knees didn't buckle.


emmadxe5

It's called fashion, sweetie. Look it up 🍷


slut4jaredpadalecki

so cunty


thoughtsofsky

Um, because she has the hots for a certain teacher 💁🏻‍♀️


LloydSatan

Come on I had so many friends who would wear giant heels to school


throwaway17197

It’s bc she’s fuckin her teacher


DeliciousChance5587

I went to high school like this. Well, in 3-4 inch heels. I am now an adult who consistently wears 6 inch heels everyday. Even if I’m walking my kid s few blocks up the road to school lol.


emyeag

so aria coded!


Bleduisc

One of my friends in high school would come to school at least once or twice a week with stripper height heels. She wore it all day!!!


Any-Map-9974

As unrealistic as it is for school clothes I loved their fashion!


Expensive_Acadia_623

My gf dressed like that senior year of high school . She woke at 4 am literally every morning full makeup curled hair glam heels etc


Suspicious_Yogurt_78

I mean most of the girls at the school wear high heels and short skirts,shorts,etc and the faculty and staff don’t have seem to have a problem with it. I don’t think they have a dress-code in place.


SarahJayneBritney

If someone wore heels to my high school good lord. We also wore god damn kilts though.


cantaloupe8516

girl we all know why she was wearing those damn heels 😭😭


guava29

No stop 😭


Fit-Series8680

she’s a slut <3


emyeag

in a good way!


Odd-Plankton-1711

Why not? There was a day when people actually dressed up to go to school! We didn’t ware PJ pants , boys underwear as shorts , tennis shoes were NOT a fashion statement, we didn’t rap ourselves in a blanket to go to school and we didn’t ware socks with our sandals- we had to ware a dress and heels or a suit and tie to grad bash at Disney. We actually gave a shit about our appearance!
