The Definitive Ranking Of All 131 Baby-Sitter's Club Cover Outfits

Stoneybrook’s finest, ranked from worst to best. Claudia Kishi forever.



First, some ground rules:


- These outfits are ranked definitively from worst to best.


-All 131 original Baby-Sitters Club series books are included. F$%d the Little Sisters series.


-When more than one person appears, the cover is ranked based on the most noticeable/important outfit, as determined with a special secret science.


- Since Claudia Kishi is obviously a style icon, the bar is set higher for her and she has to work harder to compete with the other girls (at least when they actually put effort into their looks) to prevent her from just completely dominating the top 25. This is also known as the Dancing With the Stars rule.

DAWN, NO. No, Dawn. You might have an idea that someone like Kristy or maybe Mallory was the "worst dressed" baby-sitter overall, but you're wrong. Dawn — hippie, California girl, vegetarian Dawn — was the WORST. I don't know why Dawn seems to think that being socially conscious has to equal wearing unflattering, personality-free clothes every day of middle school, but she does. This denim tuxedo is just the beginning.

OK, might as well get this out of the way: oversized sweaters/sweatshirts/tops are a MAJOR factor in many of the baby-sitters outfits. It's almost like Kristy ordered everyone to wear clothes three sizes too big (totally something Kristy would do, to be honest) for the entirety of their stints with the club. It's ridiculous! Mary Anne takes it way too far here in the interest of contrasting with Jenny Prezzioso's prissiness, which is actually kinda adorable. Mary Anne's sweatshirt thing is clearly an adult sized XXL, and her greige sweatpants seem to be tucked into her athletic socks. Totally unacceptable.
