90s TV Shows: Friends

Prime example of denim worn well

Friends is an american sitcom, which aired in September 22, 1994, to May 6, 2004. Starring Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlance, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer. The show revolves around six 20-30 aged friends living in Manhattan. As the show itself involved the age range of 20 to 30, it made it obvious that the age range would be the same for the audience/viewers. The characters themselves had there own different personalities which was shown through their fashion sense. Each individual character were different to one another.

Starting with "Rachel" known for being the girl next door in the show, to whom influenced many females around the 90s as well as today's era. When thinking of 90s fashion today I straight away think of rachel from friends. Rachel taught the audience of friends how to accessorize through the use of wearing necklaces and chokers. The 90s were the glory days for denim and Rachel really did know how to wear it well. Also throughout the show Rachel becomes an assistant for the Designer "Ralph Lauren". Rachel was and still is to this date the fashion icon for the 90s.

Still fashionable like Rachel but more sophisticated 

Moving onto the bestfriend of Rachels ,"Monica" known for being the mother of the group who's style is very classic and elegant. Monica's look was more sophisticated than Rachel's as she was seen as a leader type which gave us as the audience a high quality expectation from Monica. People who appreciate sophistication style are often socialites or want to be one.

Phoebe being known as the quirky friend of the group. She was also a musician that performed locally at "Central Perk", this inpacted on her style creating a bohemian style (hippy). The bohemian style is characterized with artistic interests like arty style and free spirit. However, the difference is that Bohemian style focuses on some exotic patterns and textures. The free spirit Bohemian draws inspirations from the gypsy look with their intricate patterns, peasant blouses,multiple accessories and much more. Phoebes style is very non traditional and is very out there for the 90s.
