Fashion Trends Inspired By “Friends”

Fashion reborn from the closets of Rachel, Monica & Phoebe

Fashion Trends Inspired By “Friends”

Over a decade ago the greatest TV show ever created came to an end, that show being none other than the iconic “Friends”. If you’re anything like me you’ve probably seen all ten seasons multiple times and can’t help but tear up at the series finale every single time. You’ve tried using Joey’s famous pickup line, craved Monica’s lasagna, memorized the lyrics to “Smelly Cat,” identified with Chandler’s social awkwardness, patiently waited for your lobster to come back to you like Ross and lusted for a closet like Rachel’s. You’ve gotten so emotionally attached to the show that you feel as if you’re the seventh friend, which made saying goodbye even harder (luckily we can binge watch on Netflix).

Lucky for all of us “Friends” fanatics, news was just released that there will be a two-hour reunion episode coming out on February 21st! A day that is going to be better than Christmas and my birthday combined! In honor of this incredible and overdue reunion, here are some modern day fashion trends inspired by the leading ladies of “Friends.”

Rachel Green:

Being a former employee for Bloomingdale’s and Ralph Lauren, Rachel Green is definitely crowned the “Friends” fashion queen. She is a style icon of the 90’s and effortlessly pulled off every outfit she ever wore. From the moment she stood up Barry at the altar, up until the day she (almost) went to Paris, Rachel Green has kept her wardrobe precisely on trend. Regardless of the fact that Rachel’s wardrobe has been unattainable to us viewers for the past decade, her classic looks have been reborn into the new generation. Thank you, Rachel Green, for the gift of the plaid and overall trends.

Monica Geller:

We all have a little Monica inside of us. Whether it be because of her insane OCD or her prior inability to say no to any kind of food, Monica is easily one of the most relatable characters on the show. But her relatability isn’t just due to her personality; it is also because of her timeless wardrobe. She kept most of her outfits simple and easy, usually jeans and a top of some sort. In spite of her simple style, Monica still frequently sported specific trends that are coming back into the market today- we’re talking about mom jeans and button-ups.

Phoebe Buffay:

Phoebe Buffay might take the first place position as my favorite character on the show. She is sarcastic, unique, hilarious and quite the musical talent. She also inspired the bohemian trend through her hippie-ish outfits and long wavy blonde hair. Although bohemian fashion is less popular today than it was a few years back, there are a few fashion trends, vests and maxi dresses, encouraged by Phoebe that are frequently seen all over the world today.

Maxi Dresses

Now as I said earlier, all these styles sported by the women of "Friends" are currently coming back into trend for our generation. Although the basic trend is the same, we have modernized these styles for what is popular today. Here is a look at how these six "Friends" trends are worn on our streets today.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
