Movie Inspired: Clueless

The phrase "everything old is new again" couldn't be more true when it comes to fashion. Rihanna sparked a resurgence of Clueless fanatics earlier this year when she wore the infamous Calvin Klein "Clueless" dress to an event. I, for one, needed no reminding the Cher Horwitz was a movie screen fashion icon. I watch Clueless almost every month for fashion inspiration and have the film on DVD and VHS. In honor of one of the hottest characters of the 90s, I will show you how to create everyday looks from some of the film’s most famous fits. Keep in mind that these outfits are not supposed to be costumes that directly mimic the movie looks, but rather modern day interpretations.


Make the 1995 look more modern by ditching the white knee highs and silver mary janes. A contrast collar button down, opaque tights, and black cap-toe shoes make this more everyday. Maintain the Cher flair through styling: button the shirt all the way up and untuck it for a chic look that doesn't look too stuffy.


Plaid on plaid is a hard thing to pull off. I would try to keep it clean by pairing plaid prints of similar muted colors and size. I don't like to be too matchy matchy which is why I opted for a dress of a different color. The knee highs work with this outfit. I would try pairing them with a fun loafer and beanie to give them an up-to-date feel. For those of you that are daring, try a plaid on plaid look like the one seen in the Gucci Pre-Fall 2013 collection below.

This last look from Clueless is pretty modern in itself. It's funny that this is what Cher would see as "lounge wear." The key to this look is a relaxed fit and not showing too much skin under the sheer top.


As far as styling, I would either wear the sheer gold dot blouse open and layered like a cardigan or buttoned to the top and tucked in with the necklace around the collar.

Clueless is now on Netflix so for those of you that haven't seen it there are no more excuses!

Hope you all get inspired by these looks and try something new :)
