15 Totally Vital Lessons 'Clueless' Taught You About Life


Happy birthday, Clueless! The 90s classic turned 18 today.

Although it's been nearly two decades since the film's release, it's still totally worth watching on repeat. For Clueless fans, it wasn't just a movie — it was a reservoir of advice, memorable quotes and fashion inspiration.

If you, like Cher Horowitz, feel pretty clueless most of the time, you're not alone. Like any good coming-of-age story, Clueless is full of valuable life lessons. The movie is a sneak attack: You think you're learning about white, collar-less Fred Segal shirts, but you're actually getting a healthy education on love, friendship and personal growth.

In honor of the lovable Beverly Hills High crew, check out our 15 favorite lessons.
