Style lessons from Rachel Green: why the images of the heroine of the series “Friends” are again at the peak of popularity

Today, February 11, is the birthday of the one-of-a-kind Jennifer Aniston. The actor is 54 years old and has acted in 33 movies. We can endlessly list our favorite projects with her participation: starting with the sensational “Morning Show” and ending with “The Good Girl”. But let’s be honest, the world would never have seen Aniston’s talent without the cult sitcom Friends.

It was thanks to Rachel’s role that Jen rose to fame and eventually became the person she is now. Throughout the series, millions of girls around the world were inspired by the images of her character, copying her hair, makeup and even her attitude. Little has changed until 2023, on the contrary, Rachel Green’s style will be more relevant than ever next season. This is indicated not only by designers who rely on intellectual minimalism in their collections, but also by glossy publications accompanied by fashion influencers, who now increasingly prefer simple cuts and concise silhouettes.

The previous idea was also proven by the experts in our December material on what happens after the global zero nostalgia. For example, Alesya Nikonova, the founder of the St. Petersburg brand LaTrika, strongly advised everyone who is not indifferent to fashion to take a closer look at Rachel Green’s style. And we totally agree with him. The way the heroine of the series “Friends” wears concise strapless dresses, satin skirts, tops with barely visible buttons and tight suits is truly admirable.

Today, on the occasion of Jennifer Aniston’s birthday, we decided to take a closer look at the images of her character and put together a few rules that she indirectly enforces.

Don’t be afraid of animal tracks

Although animal prints are a classic that designers constantly come back to every few years, many still dread using them in everyday looks. And in vain! Look how cool Rachel designed a leopard print vest with a black turtleneck. And this combination of a cow print jacket and a snow-white maxi skirt is just 11 out of 10 great.

Meanwhile, animal-printed images were featured in the spring-summer collections of 16 Arlington, Celine, Khaite, Versace, Dsquared2 and Dolce & Gabbana. So feel free to go shopping and look for things that fit Rachel’s spirit.

Maxi skirts are sexy

Maxi skirts are everywhere these days. This indisputable fact has been proven not only by stylists and influencers, but also by designers who rely on this wardrobe item even for men’s collections. Extra long skirts in general are another clue to the return of 90’s fashion to our lives. Check out Rachel’s pictures to see this. She wore monochrome suits consisting of a jacket and a maxi skirt, combined a trendy piece with a pink fur coat and combined it with basic bodysuits.

The basics – the foundation of the basics

And it has been proven. You can easily see this if you break down the character of Jennifer Aniston into the visuals that make up her. A white tee with straight-leg jeans, an alcohol tank top with a cardigan, trousers and a crop top are just a few items you can use to “bake” Rachel’s at-home look.

Be simpler!

And people will be interested in you. Almost all evening images of Rachel Green personify intellectual minimalism. She prefers feminine combinations, strapless dresses and fitted silhouettes instead of flamboyant outfits with frills and tassels. Meanwhile, designers now use all this as inspiration to create new collections. Consider Bella Hadid in a satin bandeau dress at Ports 1961.

Monochrome suits are not boring

Rachel’s style has changed a lot over the course of 10 seasons. If at first she opted for pleated preppy skirts, high stockings, and sheer crop tops, by the end of the series, more formal suits, laconic blouses and hard-heeled boots began to appear in the wardrobe of the onscreen hero Aniston. And by the way, it can often be seen in monochrome images that do not look boring and banal at all. We’re taking notes!
