In the comments section on last week’s post, 90210 Fashion – How to Dress Like Annie Wilson, you guys had some questions about the TV fashion series that I’ve been writing.
The first question you guys asked was will I continue the Vampire Diaries series (sure!), and the second question was concerning the 90210 seasons. Many of you commented that Annie’s style has progressed since Season 1, and wanted me to use more recent photos of the characters this time.
Well, this week, I did my best to find the most recent photos of Silver‘s style so hopefully this week’s post will give you the exact inspiration that you wanted! Read on to find out how to emulate Silver’s style from 90210.
Silver’s Style
Erin Silver is Beverly Hills’ Gossip Girl and the half-sister of David Silver of the original Beverly Hills 90210 television series. Throughout the three seasons, she has started to shed her disdain for the typical “high school popularity contest” and her style has reflected that. Silver’s style is mix between girly comfort and edginess, while always being completely unique.
Silver’s Closet Essentials
Although her style is a bit unpredictable, there are a few staple styles and pieces that are almost always incorporated into Silver’s outfits.
Menswear
Silver is a pro at balancing classic menswear pieces with sky-high heels or girly tops. Throughout the seasons, she’s been seen rocking both shrunken and oversized blazers, trousers and vests, and always remixing them to create a whole new look.
I admit, trousers and oversized blazers can be pretty hard to pull off (especially if you’re petite!), but fitted pieces like a vest or a shrunken jacket are flattering on almost any body type. Dressed up with a skirt or down with denim, menswear is versatile, stylish and modern.

Unique Tunics and Tees
Blouses, tunics, tees and tanks – Silver’s closet has them all. Don’t mistake her style for that of her ultra-feminine costars (like Annie Wilson), though – her tops are always funky and edgy. Although she often pairs a top with a favorite pair of jeans for a day of classes, Silver also mixes and matches colorful tops and wears them tucked into skirts or under vests.
The key to emulating her laid-back stylish look is to find the perfect balance between “edge” and comfort. Look for tops in basic shapes and fabrics (that you’ll be comfortable in) but that still have a fun pattern or embellishment. Urban Outfitters and ModCloth are both great resources – and you’ll be sure to stand out from the crowd in their wares.

Outfit Inspiration
Over the last few weeks, many of you have asked for not only key wardrobe pieces of the featured character, but also a few specific outfit ideas. With warmer weather (hopefully) near and Spring Break coming up, these two looks are the perfect shopping inspiration and they won’t empty your bank account.
For Class
Pretty purple, an adorable patterned mini skirt, simple necklaces and a cute cross-body bag – what else would you need for a day of classes? This outfit is the perfect mix of style and comfort – in a fun and unexpected color. Although it’s tempting to dress up in something uncomfortable for class, you always have to remember that you’ll be in that outfit all day – comfort is important!
Stick to short sleeves shirts and tanks that are in a soft cotton, but that aren’t too basic. Retailers like Forever 21 and Old Navy always have great (affordable) options for comfy, cute tops. Also, add a simple patterned skirt to give your look some interest.

For Spring Break
While we may not all be lucky enough to head out on a yacht this Spring Break, that shouldn’t stop us dressing cute in the warm weather! So whether you’re lounging in your backyard, or on a tropical island, Silver’s casual style is pretty perfect.
Gladiator sandals, sunglasses and a chic hat are all must-haves for a day in the sun, but with all of those accessories, there is no reason to go overboard with your outfit (a la Naomi). Opt for a basic pair of denim cutoffs and a cute tank and vest in natural colors – you’ll fit right in with your tropical paradise (whether real or imagined).

Tying it All Together
What do you think of Silver’s style? Which do you prefer – her funky looks or Annie’s more feminine style? With the warmer months coming soon, 90210 is a perfect show to look to for spring and summertime inspiration. What are your go-to pieces for classes in the warm weather? I love to hear your feedback and opinions, be sure to leave a comment!
I absolutely love love love Jessica Stroup’s character on 90210. She’s actually my fav one from 90210, and I’m really happy you decided to make an article about her. Her style is definitely gorgeous. I just love the way she can make her outfit pop out using a wild accesory, and the fact that her clothes reveal so much about her personality. She really inspires me to take more fashion related risks and to let everyone see what I’m really like. So thank you again for this amazing article!
P.S. I hope you’ll do one on Naomi too. She may go overboard sometimes, but the girl’s definitely got style AND guts.
I looove Erin Silver’s style. Maybe a post about her hair? I love it as well. My other favourite California girl is Ivy, she’s cool.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the style on 90210. I love this series, but Silver’s look does have a LOT more to it than the every day outfits shown here. Because Silver (and Naomi) are pretty much the main style icons of the show, maybe they can each have two parts? One with their everyday style, and one with their more edgier styles.
Please, please, please do Naomi next! Her character is literally my style icon, but it’s hard to find pieces that look like hers (since she usually is wearing designer pieces) that are affordable. Definitely make hers long or two parts, because there is SO much to catch up on! Love this series again!
Love Silver. She is one of my faves on the show. Love her short hair btw.
I just got this shirt (old navy) in the purple for 10 bucks! check your stores first ladies
When I think of Silver, I think of fantastic jewelry. She always has the neatest earrings, te best bracelets, and the most urban and original necklaces!
this is soooooooooo me….even my haircut is same to same with her š
I love Silver’s style I’m not a huge fan of the show but these girls all have amazing style hope you do adrianna,naomi and Ivy.
I also think it would be great if you did a skins post but not the americian skins (which I haven’t watched because I’m live in the uk) but a UK skins post because every generation has had great style hope you consider it keep up the good work.
Please do Naomi and then Ivy – i love her laid back style and then i really hope you finish the vampire diaries fashion
love the outfits! i’ve never watched 90210 before, but maybe i should if they’re all this stylish š
oh this is great
please continue wit this series fr all the girls
