Call me a millennial cliché, but I’ve been a Friends fan for just about as long as I can remember. I’ve watched Ross and Rachel break up and make up and break up again, and I’ve hummed along to Phoebe’s “Smelly Cat” more times than anyone should. I don’t consider myself an expert on many things in life, but when it comes to Friends (and, of course, fashion), I can confidently say I know my stuff. So you can only imagine the sheer delight I experience when those two subjects collide. This week has provided a moment of exactly that.
Those who have seen the series umpteen times, like me, will remember “The One Where No One’s Ready.” And those who are fashion inclined will recall the stunning mint green dress Rachel wears in the episode. It is a quintessential example of ’90s minimalism done right, featuring a square neckline, thick shoulder straps and a side split that hits just above the knee.
