Is your wallet handy? 'Cause season two of Outer Banks [1] just hit Netflix, and Kiara (Madison Bailey [2]) serves up major outfit inspiration in every. single. episode. While embarking on a whole lot of action-packed, gold-seeking, police-evading adventures with the Pogues, Kiara wears a slew of cool graphic tees, cutoff denim shorts, crop tops, and even cozy jackets, the latter of which weren't part of her wardrobe for the show's first installment [3]. "In season two, we see Kiara transition into school layers, which allowed for a lot of fun with rugged jeans, funky boots, and cool cardis and jackets," Outer Banks costume designer Emmie Holmes [4] told POPSUGAR. "Being able to layer her up means that you get to see the full spectrum of her envy-worthy style."
Kiara's outfits this season feature '70s- and '90s-inspired pieces Emmie selected from big-name brands like Reformation, Roxy, Free People, and Quicksilver, in addition to smaller brands like Her Waves, which she discovered on Instagram while stores were closed due to COVID-19. Emmie let movies like Empire Records and Dazed and Confused guide her when piecing together Kiara's wardrobe, ultimately solidifying the character's status as a "nostalgic throwback queen." So, want the lowdown on every affordable brand Kiara wears on OBX [5] this season, straight from Emmie herself? Grab that wallet, and read ahead to get shoppin'.
