Friends is my favourite TV show.
Fashion is my favourite topic.
Win-win is when someone pens a piece on the influence 90s fashion – specifically Friends – is having on todays wardrobes.
Here is the first bit Kat George has written for The Vine. I recommend you read the whole thing. Then go back, watch Friends from the very start, and relieve those awesome 90s fashions. Enjoy!

The 90s were truly a different time, and not just because they existed over a decade ago. Culturally, 90s pop influences were so disparate to the ones with which we now engage—attainable, familiar and jovial, there was a sense that everything we wanted was just around the next corner, unlike the aspirational, otherworldly, Gaga-esque expectations we’re drawn to today.
Never was this truer than in the first few seasons of Friends. Set in the deepest, darkest depths of the 90s, if all you were looking for was a saucer bowl of coffee, a laugh with five of your best soul-mates, and a floral dress, Friends had you covered. I’ve been re-watching Friends from the start again (for the fifteen-billionth time) and what has struck me is the pervading nature of everyone’s favourite 90s show (yes, I like Friends better than Seinfeld. No, I have not, nor have I ever, bumped my head).
