The 90's style evolution!

If you know me, I really love with the well-known TV show, FRIENDS. If you know of the program, you'll surely know that it began in the mid-90's and sadly ended in the mid 2000's.

I was watching season 4 earlier and I saw a lot of hints and styles that have come back into fashion this year such as 'flannels' or tartan, baggy shirts and the ever timeless black dresses. It made me think how 90's style really has been evolved for the past 20 years or so and how every season we see an aspect of the grunge, denim style. For instance, we've seen jumpers and tops being cropped and paired with denim jeans, dungarees and shorts.

Each character on the show has their own individual style and you don't tend to see them wearing the same sort of things often. Nevertheless there's always and aspect of that cool 90's vibe.

In this cast photo we see that the girls are wearing denim with baggy, cropped shirts, a style that's very grunge once you add some boots and a bomber jacket to it. In the first few seasons of FRIENDS the girls a very on trend with high-waisted trousers and cropped shirts but as the show develops each girl has their own style. Rachel goes a lot more sophisticated, Monica goes slightly more casual and relaxed as fashion develops near the new Millennium. Whilst Phoebe stays with her hippy chic self.

Within just under 10 years, the characters have all matured as fashion had. Rachel, Monica and Phoebe are still sticking to denim but we see that skirts were the style and that women's fashion was a lot more feminine than the mid 90's grunge. 

Here we are, almost 20 years after the cropped tops and high-waisted denim and it's still in! I think 90's style is one of the strongest styles that's stuck with fashion since it's beginning, alongside 50's & 80's style. 

The oversized simplicity of an outfit is currently in most people's personal style with their own little twist. Even if you think you can't pull-off grunge there's plenty of things like tartan dresses which have a slight edge because of the strong pattern, but the dress softens the look and makes it that bit more feminine if you're someone who prefers a sophisticated, sweet style.
