The 'Most Stylish Fictional Couples Of The '90s

Whether you loved them or not, the most loved fictional couples from the ‘90s certainly had style. As someone who grew up loving and watching these TV shows and movies, I learned that a good onscreen couple needs the right amount of chemistry as well as perfect costumes. It doesn’t mean that fashion for these famous duos meant that they walked out in couture everyday (although Carrie Bradshaw would disagree), but it’s more like they accurately represented the decade’s trends and style.

Much like the fashionable celebrity couples of the ‘90s, the following onscreen sweethearts had their fair share of ups and downs. However, one thing that never failed is their ability to look good in front of the camera and even inspire the viewers to dress like them. At some point, we all looked at something that a character wore on one of these shows or movies and thought, “I could wear that, too.”

From the designer duds worn by Sex and the City ’s Carrie and Cher Horowitz in Clueless , to Ross and Rachel’s perfectly preppy wardrobe, to Angela Chase’s geek-chic style, these onscreen couples got ‘90s fashion so right that their influence can still be seen on the runways and in street snaps today. Here are the 11 TV and film duos that deserve two thumbs up for their coordinated style.
