Pointed-Toe Pumps
This is as classic as a shoe trend gets. Pointed-toe pumps are my go-to for a night out, and the same can be said for all the cool It girls of 2026. You can wear your pair dressed up as Aniston did on the red carpet or give it a casual spin with jeans and a nice top.

Strappy Sandals
Another trend Aniston often wore in the '90s was strappy sandals, which is perfect for the upcoming spring weather. I'll be wearing my pair with a flowy skirt and a simple T-shirt, but if you want to emulate Aniston, wear yours with a slinky little black dress.

Mary Jane Heels
Mary Jane flats have already had a comeback, but Mary Jane heels feel a bit fresher. I love the way Aniston wore them in an episode of Friends with a simple white tee and miniskirt.

Peep-Toe Heels
Peep-toe heels were popular last year, and I often saw them worn with jeans. This glamorous, effortless outfit Aniston wore inspires me to wear mine with more intention and dress them up.

Snakeskin Boots
Snakeskin boots had a big moment in the fall, and the trend is still going strong. Aniston wore her snakeskin boots in a casual yet elevated way. Her suede-coat-and-jeans outfit is absolutely something I'd wear from head to toe.
