Fran Fine Had the Best Winter Outfits (and I'll Fight Anyone Who Disagrees)
Netflix's and Hulu's television selections are missing a true icon of the '90s: The Nanny. Not only was Fran Fine one of the most lovable characters on the small screen, but her bold style was nothing short amazing. With her piano-print dress, neon matching sets, and excellent headbands, she arguably paved the way for another out-there dresser who came five years after The Nanny first premiered: Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City.
Of course, one of Fran's signature pieces was the miniskirt. In winter, she wore them with tights and knee-high boots—a combo that's still going strong a whopping 25 years later. Honestly, most of her wardrobe would look right at home in 2020, which is why we decided to do a little retrospective on her chicest outfit ideas. Scroll down to re-create Fran Fine's best winter looks from The Nanny.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
