Fact: Rachel Green was the resident fashion girl of Friends throughout the series’ 10 season run. Sure, Monica had great taste in boots (despite not being able to walk in them), and we respect Phoebe’s charmingly eccentric ensembles, but Rachel had a penchant for wearing the most au courant trends of the times (the late ’90s and early ’00s). She also worked in the fashion industry for Bloomingdale’s and Ralph Lauren and is still our inspiration for styling overalls to this day.
It’s no surprise then that Rachel Green outfits are as relevant as ever. Ahead, we’ve outlined ensembles that show how Rachel became a style icon in the first place, and why she’s still deserving of the title. Keep scrolling for some of the hits from Friends’ own fashion girl, and then shop her key pieces.
