I never really got into Buffy The Vampire Slayer, so you can imagine how surprised I was to find out that there’s one topic the fandom is really divided on: Willow’s wardrobe. In fact, Willow Rosenberg herself seems to be divided at times, too:

There’s an entire blog dedicated to what the author calls her “ugly” outfits. I’ve come across several Buzzfeed articles ranking her sweaters, some harsher than others. But there’s also a blog dedicated to praising her style, asking What Would Willow Wear?, and dozens of Pinterest boards and forgotten Polyvore sets on how to get the Willow Rosenberg Look.

So, love it or hate it, Willow has certainly carved her own spot in the world of fictional fashion. Fictional style icons are nothing if not memorable. Let’s take a look at what makes her just that.
