‘FRIENDS’ FITS MIRROR MILLENNIAL, GEN Z FASHION

- RAYE SANCHEZ

How you doin’?

I am still reeling from all emotions upon seeing Friends characters Rachel Green, Monica Geller, Phoebe Buffay, Chandler Bing, Joey Tribbiani and Ross Geller reunite and sit on the same couch at Central Perk.

Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer have aged like fine wine and the TV series they popularize­d in 1994 lives on.

Though it first aired over 20 years ago, it’s as if the sitcom was conceptual­ized with the new generation in mind considerin­g the cast members’ fashion sense. Here’s a look back at the outfits they wore that we’re most likely seeing in our wardrobes as well.

MINI AND MIDI DRESSES

Mini and midi dresses are definitely a staple in the wardrobe at this time. Given the Philippine­s’ tropical climate, it’s nice to stay comfortabl­e with a cute ensemble. Plus, it’s the go-to clothing piece for lazy days.

CARDIGANS

Like coverups, cardigans are styled nowadays as comfort wear by simply fastening a few buttons the way Monica would do it in the show. But of course, it’s still considered as clothing for chilly days, which are fast approachin­g!

HIGH/TURTLE NECK TOPS

This is another type of clothing for the cold weather ahead but there’s something about its silhouette that gives one a classy and sophistica­ted look. To wear it even in the middle of humid weather, choose Rachel’s high-neck white top at the opening credits.

PATTERNS AND TEXTURES

Though basics are here to stay, a lot of people are straying from its dominance by trying out textured or clothing with patterns. These give one’s look a fresh spin.

INNERS+DRESS

For someone who isn’t keen on wearing sleeveless dresses or tops, this style is a life-saver. It’s also perfect for days when you don’t feel motivated to dress nice, yet you still want to look pretty.

BONUS ROSS LEATHER PANTS

This was a hip look even if Ross had the most uncomforta­ble time wearing it.
