Why do people still love their taste


In this day and age, it's never easy to be a classic, and Friends is definitely one of them.

It's been almost 30 years since it was first broadcast, and fans still love the show, often turning it over and over again. It can be said that the show accompanied them through the different stages of life into marriage and career development.

The fashion value of "Friends" has been continuously verified in the past 30 years, and it will still lead the trend of fashion today. According to Debra McGuire, in the decades since the show aired, she has received letters from fans asking about the clothes the characters wore, including from husbands who wanted to buy the same clothes for their other halves. "That was 20 years ago, honey," she says, laughing at every moment.

Now, fashion media and fashion e-commerce will also from time to time launch "Friends" related fashion trends. Ralph Lauren has launched a clothing line to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the show. It is said that Tom Ford watches Friends every night at dinner when he comes home, and he thinks that the taste in clothes in Friends is far from the contemporary aesthetic.

Miu Iu's blockbuster look this season coincides with Rachel's look on the show, which is super chic today. BY FAR's hit Rachel is also a tribute to the show's Rachel, who loves underarm bags.

Friends costume designer Debra McGuire once said: "My biggest goal on Friends was to create things and make looks that nobody had ever seen before." While she was creating the looks for her main characters, Firmly grasp the character's characteristics, so that the clothes not only "good", but also "fit". This has resulted in thousands of new fashion classics and three distinctive characters: Rachel, Monica and Phoebe.

She is a daughter, a runaway bride, an independent woman who cut her teeth and cut her credit card, and a successful Ralph Lauren executive. With Rachel always showing off new looks and styles and always maintaining a high wardrobe, variety could be her life.

Compared with Rachel in the early stage, her typical items include slim-fit T-shirts full of youthful vitality, plaid miniskirts, slip dresses, shirts, etc. The overall style is a slightly schooly American playful retro style, which perfectly echoes her cute temperament of being a little wilful and clever.

Pair a cropped top with a pair of loose floor-length pants or a plaid skirt, and add a slouchy feel to the look by keeping it tight and loose.

Many people say that Rachel is the originator of BM style, but if you look carefully, she presents a better texture of American sweetheart style. Replace the regular crew neck with a small neckline, semi-high neck or high neck for a more stylish look. This may really be due to good taste cultivated at an early age.

Then Rachel found what she really wanted to do, and her confidence and courage came back. The whole shape is also more workplace, more reference for the working family.

At this time, more exquisite and minimalist dresses and suits began to appear, and accessories such as watches and necklaces began to have texture.

Gradually promoted, the dress has become more mature, the color has become deeper, while losing the original good taste, there is no sense of rigidity.

In her private life, she presents another image to the audience. She likes the casual sporty style of the home dress, more or less a shadow of the current trend of Athflow.

Of the six, Monica is the "head of the family". She is very strong and serious, wanting to compete for the first place in everything, but her heart is also soft with strong empathy, and she takes good care of the other five people.

She and Rachel have similar pieces, but they have different charm and aura. Then Monica's dress style is more integrated with the handsome feeling of boys, and the cut will be more crisp. Also love to wear suspenders two people, Monica put on a white I-vest, will be handsome to the end, feel minutes back to the school days; Rachel, on the other hand, opted for a more stylish coat and handbag for a more urban look.

And her dress is like her people, she wears neutral and capable, she often uses some neutral items with color restraint, such as crisp cut shirt, neutral jacket leather, high waist straight leg jeans and other advanced simple basic items, to achieve a handsome sense of feminine balance.

Although she usually dresses in basic clothes, Monica always looks classy. This delicacy is reflected in the little details beyond the basic style - fluffy hair, delicate and simple necklace, beautiful arm line...

In the show, Monica's dress is very useful for short women, and the collocation of high waist helps to create proportion. Monica loves wearing them. They have a great proportioning effect. When you wear a shirt, tuck it in or tie it in front of you to make it look proportioned.

Monica's most classic style in the drama is the interpretation of a variety of red pieces, black hair and enchanting red and bright smile against each other, naturally bringing out Monica's female charm.

With a good look, she can pull off a slip dress perfectly.

Monica's every dress is a good outline of the waist line, for her to bring a straight effect, which is also the place you need to pay attention to when buying a dress.

Phoebe is so different than Rachel and Monica. Phoebe, who hails from New York's Lower East Side, wears clothes influenced by New York's street culture, mixing and matching items to the extreme.

Bohemian dresses, romantic prints and lace, hand-held rings and layered necklaces, her style is so quirky and charming, with a strong romantic color, like a beauty coming out of an oil painting.

Of course, she wasn't always so retro. Sometimes she will wear the unrestrained Y2K retro style, and the neon color will reflect her avant-garde, lively and funny. The core of Y2K retro style is a positive spirit and optimistic attitude, and Phoebe's attitude towards life is also very good.

On the show, Phoebe is a vegan and anti-consumerist. She hates industrial goods and assembly-line products that destroy nature, so naturally, she likes to go to flea markets to find interesting and story-telling items.

This is the Jean Paul Gaultier spring/Summer 1999 collection Phoebe picked up.

And her single product reuse rate is really very high, this coat appeared countless times in the show, each time the inside match is different.

Phoebe's clothes look fancy, in fact, the overall unity is very strong, are the same color throughout.

Can not help but think of Etro's Bohemian style pieces in recent years, if Phoebe also lives in this era, she must love it.

Phoebe didn't just dress messy, she wore a lot of it. She will match different necklaces according to the material and color of the clothes, and most of the accessories on her body are in the form of combination, for example, Choker wears a long necklace and a ring full of hands, which is very hierarchical. This is in line with the current style of fashion bloggers love the folded wear.

The stylist's creation of Phoebe's romantic image is not only limited to earrings and necklaces, her hair and headwear are also the most wonderful in the whole series, seemingly messy but actually hiding many small ingenious ideas, and the braiding of small clips is very suitable for the overall style.

I often think back to the pieces that appeared in the show, which still inspire us to wear trends and create countless memorable fashion moments for us. Friends has also given us countless funny and heartwarming moments, and today we can get the same feeling and joy from the show that good things really do last forever.
