The summer of 1992 saw the release of two Clueless-inspired nail polish collections. Gelish and Morgan Taylor released “Clueless Summer 2022”, featuring 12 super-saturated shades and two confetti-glitter overlay shades. Shades range from nickeleon orange to sage green creme and feature some of the film’s most memorable pop-culture references. While the film is now 25 years old, its influence on the nail polish industry continues to be felt.
Clueless was a huge hit, changing the way teen films were made and redefining fashion. Starring Alicia Silverstone as high school student Cher, this movie helped to revolutionize the way teens dress. Gone were the days of baggy jeans and plaid miniskirts – a movie that changed fashion forever. Today, everyone looks better than ever! Clueless inspired a generation of fashion enthusiasts.
Adaptations of Jane Austen’s novels have become increasingly popular since Clueless, with fans of the classic novel swooning after the film’s comedic twists. In fact, the film has inspired many new fans of Austen, which is a direct result of Heckerling’s influence. Clueless has also helped make Austen relevant to an entirely new generation, as it has updated the classic novel into a 90-minute high school rom-com.
One of the most well-known Clueless-inspired apps, Clothesline suggests outfits based on your preferences using a sophisticated algorithm. The app even syncs with your location to show the latest weather and time. While it does not make you move from your couch, it’s still an effective fashion tool. It’s considered a “Baldwin” among Clueless-inspired apps. Cher, for one, is known to use the app to find the perfect outfit.
For men, there are many Clueless-inspired fashions available. Despite the fact that the film’s main characters don’t typically wear a uniform, there are some notable exceptions. The movie’s female characters also wore distinctive styles. Josh, played by Paul Rudd, is an example of a ’90s hipster who combines a flannel shirt and a baseball cap, while Dionne’s boyfriend, Murray, wore a sweatsuit and a sweater vest. And, of course, there’s the famous purple boa, which appears in the original promo pictures. Alicia Silverstone praised Harry Styles’ Clueless-inspired outfit as well.
Cher’s most memorable Clueless outfit is a miniskirt. It was described as the equivalent of a high-fashion Catholic schoolgirl’s uniform. This skirt-suit has even made its way to the runways for fall 2018. Cher’s other famous looks include a Calvin Klein slip dress, an Alaia cocktail dress, and a black-and-white gym uniform. Cher also favored Mary Jane shoes, which are now a staple of her wardrobe.
The movie’s costumes are also iconic, and they have become a common reference for high-fashion designers. Even those who didn’t grow up during the 1990s try to emulate the iconic character’s look. While many of us may be too old to have seen Clueless in theaters, it remains relevant today. With the popularity of these costumes, they continue to inspire pop-culture wear. There’s no shortage of Clueless inspired outfits to choose from.
