How to Dress Like Your Favourite ’90s Sitcom Character

Channel your inner Rachel Green or Fran Fine

At this point, it’s pretty safe to say that the ’90s are timeless. The decade with the staying power of a wine stain on your favourite rug has provided endless style inspiration over the past few years, from slip dresses to denim jackets to chokers (the list goes on). And who better encapsulates all this than the ladies who dominated the small screens of the time? Whether it was Rachel Green on Friends inspiring the most popular haircut of the decade, or Fran Fine on The Nanny making Moschino a household name, the influence of sitcom stars was felt across all spectrums of the fashionsphere. Here, we show you how to cop the wardrobes of four of the most iconic women on ’90s TV.

Fran Fine, The Nanny

We’ll never know how the flashy girl from Flushing managed to spin a nanny’s salary into an absolutely thrilling designer wardrobe of technicolour brights, sexy minis and co-ordinated suits. But with an equally OTT approach to animal prints and a bit of savvy in the sale section, you too can channel your inner Fran.

Rachel Green, Friends

Rachel may have worked at Ralph Lauren on the later seasons of Friends, but her style remained super breezy and approachable throughout the entire series. The key is looking like you threw your outfit together minutes before your shift at Central Perk.

Hilary Banks, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Famed for quotes like “Daddy, I need 300 dollars,” Hilary is a fashion queen with a seemingly never-ending budget. But you don’t need to have Uncle Phil’s credit card to emulate the elder Banks sister’s style. What you do need is a fearless approach to wearing pattern and, okay, maybe a Chanel-specific savings account?

Elaine Benes, Seinfeld

Seinfeld’s resident bad dancer was a quintessential working girl of the ’90s who favoured boxy blazers and mom jeans. While Elaine’s style evolved through the seasons of the show, she was always professional and a master of the high-low mix.
