In a few minutes, the news had spread like wildfire, and within a couple of hours, the entire globe was buzzing with barely contained excitement. Every content site across the world wide web was racing to be the first ones to cover this piece of news, and every fan around the world was rejoicing with a thrilled "Finally!" 

 

Yes, of course, we are talking about the highly awaited Friends reunion. In the words of every Friends cast member on Instagram this past weekend, "it's happening!" And honestly, could we BE more excited?! 

 

With the Friends reunion now on the cards, its time we re-visited the iconic show for all that it offered to the world. And that includes some killer fashion inspiration. Friends might have aired during the late 90s and early 00s, but the outfits we spotted throughout the show remain timelessly trendy, and even more so in 2020. Here's a list of 6 legendary outfits from Friends that you can fashionably don in 2020 to stay ahead of the trends: 

 

Rachel's Plaid Miniskirt + White Turtleneck

This absolutely adorable fall outfit that Rachel sported in the first season looks like it was picked straight from a runway in 2020. Simple, chic and effortless, in true Rachel Greene fashion!

Phoebe's Layered Maxi Button Down Dress 

If the latest fashion trends were to be trusted, layering, especially for slip and maxi dresses is all the rage in the current fashion landscape. But guess who did it before it was cool, or trendy? Phoebe Buffay, of course!

Monica's Mom Jeans And Cami Pairing

If this look was shown to someone who hasn't watched or heard about Friends, with zero context, do you think they'd be able to tell that it hasn't been picked from a 2020 fashion trends Pinterest board? We seriously doubt it! Only Monica Geller can fashionably carry off mom jeans 20 years before they'd become the hottest new trend in the world of denim.

Chandler's Denim Button Down And Checkered Vest

While Chandler Bing might not exactly be known for his fashion sense, some of his outfits managed to get our eyes glued to the screen. The roomy 90s vibe was inherent in all his looks, but this one takes the cake for being at its retro and eccentric fashion best!
