These Fashion-Forward TV Shows Have Influenced Our Wardrobes the Most

The CW
We draw fashion inspiration from everywhere, even when we don’t realise it. Stylist pedestrians we pass by on the street, our work wives, runway shows, targeted Instagram ads (is it just me or is Instagram really nailing it lately?!) and as the headline suggests, the TV shows we consume.
A new study has come out out of the UK to determine the most influential TV shows for fashion and style inspiration. Money.com.uk analysed the global Google searches in the past year around the wardrobes relating to a number of popular shows and their characters.
“From period pieces to modern sitcoms and teen dramas, TV has always been a rich source of fashion inspiration, no matter what your style,” the research reads.
Looking at the data, Money.com.uk was able to determine three popular shows that quite frankly, would not surprise you. In fact, we bet you based your own style off one of these leading characters in high school…
Below we take a look at some of the most influential TV shows for fashion inspo.
Euphoria
The hit teen drama topped the list with over 1.1 million searches around the style of the main characters. We already knew Euphoria to be influential in the realm of beauty, but seems fans are desperate to know where they can find items in Rue and Jules’ wardrobes.
Friends
Friends came second on the list with 694k searches.Ā Rachel, Monica and Phoebe’s individual styles capture the essence of the ’90s, arguably one of fashion’s best decade. The good news is recreating these looks is actually super easy. A pair of high-rise mom jeans and an oversize shirt is all it really takes.
Gossip Girl
In number three: Gossip Girl with 360k searches. Back in high school, you were either a Blair or a Serena, donning preppy collared shirts and headbands or Boho maxi dresses. There was no in-between. And while the show has, of course, dated, it would seem streamers are just as eager to style steal from these frenemies.
Emily In Paris
The divisive Netflix series drew in a lot of ‘love-to-hate’ viewers, but no one could deny this was a cast with style. What Emily In Paris‘ costume designer did so well was pair high-end with accessible labels, thus making it easy to shop the looks of Emily, Camille, Mindy and Sylvie. It’s no wonder this show came fourth with 336k searches.
Black-ish
Black-ish costume designer Michelle Cole keeps the fashion as current as the issues the award-winning show navigates. Each character is a fashion icon in their own right, with the show’s team sourcing designer garments in prints and patterns that leave a lasting impression. The series rounded out the top five with 260k searches.
