Quite possibly the most-quoted movie of our generation, Mean Girls(2004) has quickly become a gen-Y classic. Seeing North Shore High through the eyes of Cady Heron has taught us valuable life lessons: joining the Mathletes is social suicide, butter is a carb, and the Plastics? They are teen royalty.

Mean Girls also can teach us a few things about style. While it may be impractical for us college students to sport mini skirts and pumps to class, you can use Regina George and her loyal followers as a source of fashion inspiration for your own everyday looks.

Below, I’ve created a few outfits inspired by Mean Girls. Get in, loser – we’re going shopping!

Outfits Inspired By Mean Girls

Regulation Hottie

Product:

While you may have not been homeschooled in Africa, you can steal Cady’s “regulation hottie” style with a few key pieces. Wear a plaid shirt with a pair of high-waisted denim shorts. Then slip on a pair of classic Converse sneakers, grab a trendy wrap bracelet, and wear a varsity-style jacket, similar to the one Cady wears as a Mathlete!

The Back Building

Product:

Skipping class just got a little more fashionable! Pair a muscle tee with high-waisted jeans for a simple and chic look. Wear a utility jacket and combat boots for an edgy twist. Complete the look with an eclectic triangle charm necklace.

The Plastics

Product:

I saw Regina George wearing a pink skirt and bow pumps, so I bought a pink skirt and bow pumps. Steal the Plastics’ girly style with a graphic tee and a bright pink mini skirt. A cardigan adds a preppy twist, and pumps with bow detailing have some serious cute appeal. Grab a quilted bag to store the essentials (hello, Kalteen bars!), and wear an initial necklace just like Regina’s to complete the ensemble.

  13. This is easily one of the greatest articles I’ve ever read on here not just because the outfits are adorable but because you did not stop dropping the movie references. I laughed so hard. This is top notch work. So fetch. <3 <3

  15. Bless this post! No offense to Citizen Kane, Casablanca, and their fellow AFI list-toppers, but Mean Girls is the greatest cinematic achievement of all time.

    P.S. Tomorrow’s Wednesday: don’t forget to wear pink!
