It’s not just the drama and the laughs that we tune in to HBO’s Girls for – we’re analyzing the clothing, too. Every personality can take a sartorial cue from Lena Dunham’s hit show following this group of four twenty-something friends (and sometimes foes). Study up on each character’s style evolution, and then set your DVR for tonight’s fifth (and second-to-last) season premiere.

Jessa
Then: The definition of a free spirit. Dressed in laid-back boho pieces, she looks like a world traveler, because she is.
Now: Jessa’s style has remained true to herself season after season – she has the indie look down pat.

Marnie
Then: Whether a polished art-gallery assistant or a beanie-loving musician, she always appears put-together – no matter how uncertain her life seems.
Now: As her professional goals change, so do her go-to pieces. We love to see Marni experimenting on stage in jersey maxis and moto jackets.

Shoshanna
Then: Girly, bubbly, and statement-making. Her signature look? Let’s just say she’s never met a hair accessory she didn’t like.
Now: Lovable and oh-so-quoteable, Shoshanna is taking her boldness in a new sartorial direction – all the way to Japan!

Hannah
Then: With an effortless and vintage-inspired vibe, her outfits often match her every mood – i.e., anything goes.
Now: Hannah’s all grown up. Her prints are a teeny bit more sophisticated, and her rompers fit just a little better.
