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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
