15 Times the Style on Broad City Made Us Say "YAS QUEEN"
At first glance, Broad City might not seem like your typical fashion-focused show: knockoffs can be spotted in place of Olivia Pope-like Pradas, and the outfits are decisively more quirky than on-trend. But that's not to say there isn't a lot to learn from the two main characters, Abbi and Ilana. The besties are always true to themselves no matter what they wear, from gym gear to workwear, and it's their confidence that pulls their outfits together — the key to any great look.
As we say goodbye to the broads, we've rounded up the best fashion lessons we've learned from these two 20-somethings. Keep scrolling to see our 15 favorite outfits.

Give Your Outfits a Personal Twist
We don't recommend wearing dog hoodies to the office, but we do like that Ilana sees something she loves and finds a way to make it work.

If You Experience a Fashion Emergency, Get Creative

Get Nostalgic
With so many different decades coming back — the '90s, the '70s, etc. — give throwback style a try and pair a backward cap with a jersey. It's very boy band!
