In the 1990s, The Nanny was more than just a beloved sitcom—it was a visual spectacle of bold, fearless fashion. Fran Fine, played by Fran Drescher, became an instant fashion icon with her over-the-top, head-turning outfits that balanced elegance with audacity. Fran’s signature style was all about breaking rules, blending textures, and embracing bold prints. As we step into fall, what better time to revisit and draw inspiration from Fran’s wardrobe? Here are six ways to channel The Nanny’s charm and flair this season.
1. Statement Outerwear: Leopard Prints and Bold Colors
Fran Fine practically redefined animal print for the 90s, especially leopard. From coats to matching skirts and tops, Fran’s wardrobe reminds us that fall is the perfect time to bring out statement outerwear. Look for leopard-print trench coats or bold, oversized blazers in jewel tones like emerald green or ruby red. If you’re feeling daring, mix these pieces with a pop of color underneath, like a bright yellow or cobalt blue.
How to Style It: Pair a leopard-print coat with black skinny jeans and knee-high boots for a look that balances boldness and sophistication. Top it off with a chunky gold necklace or a sleek beret to give it a Parisian twist.
2. Turtlenecks with Texture
One of the most surprising elements of Fran's fashion was her clever use of texture, often incorporating layers of velvet, wool, or even faux fur. Turtlenecks were a staple in her wardrobe, adding a cozy yet chic vibe that’s perfect for fall. Embrace turtlenecks in textured fabrics like ribbed knits or soft cashmere, and experiment with colors beyond neutrals—think deep plum, mustard, or even electric blue.
How to Style It: Tuck a bold, textured turtleneck into a high-waisted skirt, and layer it with a fitted blazer or leather jacket. Add some gold hoop earrings or a thin scarf for a subtle hint of 90s glam.
3. The Perfect Little Black Dress (LBD) with a Twist
Fran Fine proved that the little black dress is a wardrobe essential with unlimited possibilities. While classic in essence, her LBDs often had unique details—think lace trim, sequins, or unexpected cuts—that elevated the look to something truly memorable. This fall, take inspiration from Fran by choosing an LBD with an interesting twist, whether it’s asymmetrical lines, puffed sleeves, or an added embellishment like a jeweled neckline.
How to Style It: Pair your LBD with patterned tights or a fitted blazer in a bold color, like red or royal blue, for a nod to Fran’s flair. Complete the look with strappy heels or ankle boots and a statement clutch. Adding a bright red lip or oversized earrings can add just the right touch of Fran’s signature glamour.
4. Mini Skirts Paired with Tights
Fran’s mini skirt-and-tights combo was a signature look that worked no matter the season. Fall is perfect for mini skirts, especially when paired with opaque tights or patterned stockings. Fran often opted for bright or textured tights that added personality to her outfits, so don’t be afraid to stray from classic black and experiment with different textures or hues.
How to Style It: Try a plaid or houndstooth mini skirt with brightly colored tights, and top it with a fitted cardigan or oversized sweater. Ankle boots or loafers with chunky heels will give it that extra bit of 90s edge.
5. Cocktail Dresses with Glam and Personality
Fran Fine’s wardrobe was a masterclass in turning heads, especially when it came to cocktail dresses. Her choices were always glamorous, with a dash of whimsy and charm—think sequins, feathers, and bright, daring colors. For fall, a Fran-inspired cocktail dress can bring that same spirit to your evening wardrobe. Look for dresses in rich jewel tones, velvet, or with bold embellishments like rhinestones or metallic details.
How to Style It: Opt for a fitted cocktail dress in a bold shade like emerald green, sapphire blue, or hot pink. Pair it with strappy heels, and add a cropped faux fur jacket for an extra dose of drama. Finish with bold jewelry, like oversized earrings or a sparkly statement necklace, to embrace Fran’s love for all things glam. This look is perfect for holiday parties, special nights out, or anytime you want to steal the spotlight.
6. Accessories That Pop: Berets, Chunky Belts, and Hair Accessories
Fran was known for her impressive collection of accessories. Her looks were often topped off with bold belts, statement earrings, or a playful hat. This fall, borrow from Fran's playbook with colorful berets, wide belts, and oversized earrings. Statement belts, especially over blazers or dresses, add structure and sophistication, while berets lend a touch of Parisian chic to any outfit.
How to Style It: Go for a wide belt over a blazer or cardigan to cinch the waist, and add a pop of color with a beret or headband. Playful hair clips or scrunchies in bright colors can also add a Fran-inspired twist, especially if you’re wearing your hair in voluminous curls.
