A couple of episodes into binge-watching Jessica Jones [1], my boyfriend turned to me, somewhat puzzled. "Does she ever shower?" he asked, a hint of disgust in his voice. "I feel like she's wearing the same exact thing she wore yesterday." He had a point — we'd seen her shimmy into jeans she'd picked up off the floor — but within minutes Jessica was rinsing off, debunking our lazy-girl theory [2].
In reality (or "reality"), the non-superhero-y superhero rocks a different kind of costume. Rather than spandex and heels — something that always made the heavy lifting and crime-fighting extra unbelievable, in my eyes — her outfits consist of closet staples [3]. Jessica can be spotted wearing a leather jacket [4], jeans, and booties in almost every scene, with slight variations depending on the day or the weather.
After devouring the Netflix series [5], I found myself reaching for her go-tos on days where I faced major fashion dilemmas [6]. Her look works for a variety of different occasions: laid-back weekends, casual workwear, date nights, and more. Read on to see Jessica's costumes, which may very well be the best on TV [7], then shop the pieces you need to nail her versatile style ahead.
