In honor of 'Friends' 25th anniversary, Ralph Lauren has launched what we've all been waiting for: the Ralph Lauren x Friends collection.
As any 'Friends' superfan knows, Ralph Lauren played a pivotal role in the life of Rachel Green on the hit 90s sitcom. Now the brand is celebrating some of the best looks from the show with a collection they're calling 'The One Where They Wore Ralph Lauren.' According to the brand, the new line is a "wear-to-work collection" that reflects some of Rachel's best professional looks. In other words, there's enough wool blazers, turtleneck sweaters, and pleated skirts for you to live out your ultimate 90s fantasies.
For another Friends-themed twist, the Ralph Lauren x Friends collection will be available from Bloomingdale’s, which is another one of Rachel's former employers on the show.
