Netflix’s most recent original series gaining tons of attention is "Jessica Jones," a noir thriller based off of a series of Marvel comics. Unlike other superheroes, Jessica (played by the gorgeous Krysten Ritter) is never seen in a logo-emblazoned jumpsuit or shiny red cape. Instead, her wardrobe feels much more modern and achievable for everyday life. In a world that praises Blair Waldorf and Cher Horowitz’s seemingly endless closets, it’s refreshing to find a style icon who opts for T-shirts and flannels without caring what anyone else thinks.

Here’s why you should channel the confidence of Jessica Jones next time you hit the mall.

1. She has a personal uniform.

Jessica may not wear a typical superhero costume, but she definitely has a signature style. The character is rarely seen without her gorgeous leather motto jacket, a pair of light-washed jeans, and black motorcycle boots. Her fashion choices reflect both the character’s difficult financial situation and no-fuss attitude. At times, her jackets and hoodies even serve as a kind of security blanket. Even if this particular look isn’t your thing, having a go-to outfit combo that you feel best in can make getting dressed on difficult days feel so much easier.

2. She proves basics aren't boring.

While sequins, bright prints, and faux fur are all awesome in their own right, there’s something effortlessly chic about sticking to a minimal color palette and a combination of simple, understated items. Next time you hit the mall, try looking for timeless pieces that fit your body perfectly rather than instantly gravitating towards whatever dress is the sparkliest.

3. Practicality always comes first.

Whether you’re running across a massive campus to make it to a 9 a.m. lecture or scaling up a building to spy on your arch nemesis, high heels just aren’t the best option. With winter now in full swing, take a page out ofJessica’s book and stick to boots and warm layers that’ll keep you both fashionable and comfortable.

4. She chooses classic over trendy.

Unlike shows like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" that epitomized '90s style, or "The O.C.," which showcased every mid-2000s trend, "Jessica Jones" will never look dated. Along with the classic noir soundtrack, the show’s fashion cannot be pinned to a specific era, making it perfect for multiple re-watches.

5. Her look is totally doable on a college budget.

Sure, you may not have super strength or P.I. equipment, but chances are you already have a pair of basic jeans, gray tank top, or knitted infinity scarf somewhere in your closet. So if, like me, "Jessica Jones" has you wanting to incorporate some extra edginess into your wardrobe, take inspiration from the latest Netflix superhero and break out your toughest leather and snarkiest wit.
