A signature ’90s accessory that honestly should never have left the fashion scene in the first place is the iconic claw clip, sported elegantly by Rachel in many episodes of “Friends.” We’re glad to see that claw clip hairstyles are back in fashion regardless of their frequent appearance on the sitcom. If there’s anything the show has to teach us about the hair accessory, it’s that you can wear it on any (and every) occasion that calls for an updo. Need to sweep your hair back into a sleek, elegant style for date night? Slick it back and secure it with a claw clip, leaving out few to no tendrils. Or, if you just need a quick solution to get your hair out of your face, you can pull it back into a messy claw clip style, like Rachel did throughout the series.
Nowadays, you can find a claw clip to fit pretty much any vibe you’re going for. Elegant styles might call for a delicate jeweled claw clip, while fun days in the summer sun are perfect for a pastel or floral claw clip. If you want to truly take a note from Rachel’s book to emulate the signature ’90s style, though, we recommend capitalizing on the classic claw clip — it’ll be oblong and come in a neutral glossy color, like black, clear, or the translucent amber one that can be seen in the above photo.
