The One With Shark Hints
Friends is among the most popular watched series of all time, and it's for a good reason. The humor and wit will keep anyone glued to their seats (or fall off it with laughter). Moreover, the show also offered us some memorable moments fashion-wise, like when Chandler was uncharacteristically engrossed in a National Geographic film on sharks.
Monica noticed and wanted some attention for herself, so she tried distracting Chandler in a stunning black peignoir. An outfit like that would get any man's attention, but it turns out the lad it was intended for was far too engrossed in the sea life on TV to notice, poor Monica!
The One With Double Denim
For most of season one, the cast of Friends hadn’t found their unique fashion style and were still trying to find something that fit their vibes. Considering that the show came around in the ’90s when there was heavy denim influence, it isn’t surprising to see Monica and Rachel donning some cool denim pieces.
These two were initially quite alike in their fashion choices, so much so that they wore their hair the same way in this episode. With time, Rachel and Monica evolved, and slowly as the series progressed, their dressing grew in different directions, resulting in noticeably more personalized garment and styling choices.
The One With The Pencil Skirt
Remember the days when wearing a pencil skirt and black tights was a thing? We bet you'd like to see that more often, yes? While the style is a staple from the '90s, it's still pretty timeless and super classy, just like Rachel showcased in this episode.
Compared to Monica's cute but straightforward outfit and Phoebe's jumbo top, which also looks quite stylish, Rachel's garb stands out drastically. Her clothing fits perfectly, and the colors blend in well, foreshadowing the character's flawless fashion growth that slowly unfolds in the subsequent episodes and seasons.
The One With The LBD
We all have heard of workplace romances, and it was a no-brainer that the theme would somehow make its way into the script of Friends. When Rachel Greene gets a new assistant in the incredibly handsome Tag, she is smitten and tries to impress him in the language she knows best- fashion.
Her go-to option? A beautiful black dress with a low neckline was sure to grab some attention. While it was a lovely dress, we don’t think it was appropriate for the workplace. A dinner date would have been the perfect occasion for the outfit, and sadly despite her efforts, things between Rachel and Tag didn’t last.
The One With Timeless Street Style
We don’t know if you noticed the evolution of fashion in the series, but this right here shows that some of those outfits were outright timeless. Rachel’s combination of a skater dress and sneakers is something we often see nowadays, and the good thing is, the items are still readily available.
Monica, on the other hand, while being a little bit conservative, shows that she can confidently wear any sleeve length she wants and still look chic! These are ideas that any woman can try even today, and they would look just as stunning when they step out.
The One With Distinctive Personal Style
The beauty of the Friends cast is that each one has their sense of fashion and nothing showcases that more than this image. Rachel, as always, impresses with her high fashion maxi dress and black heels, Monica is in her trademark white tee, and Phoebe is well, Phoebe donning that eccentric green top with patterned sleeves.
This individuality in everything the cast did drew us to the show and is something we all still admire. Their comedic flair and epic timing made the show special, but it's really the outfits that bring everything together, accentuating the characters' personalities.
The One With Mrs. Greene
In the entire series, one person stands out with her style, and that is Rachel. Yet, in this episode, we finally realized where she got it from. It was the moment her mother, Sandra Green, showed up in an incredibly stunning red and black patterned wraparound dress to a wedding reception.
Without a doubt, the Greene family matriarch knows what works for her body, and this is among the more beautiful outfits we have seen on the show. This leads us to wonder, is it available in online stores? We know someone who would look super elegant in it!
The One With The Monochrome Matching
Ladies and gentlemen, if you’re looking for ideas on how to do a monochrome theme with your clothes, then this is it! Chandler layers his khaki on khaki separates, and while the outfit seems a size too big, it looks pretty fresh and comfortable.
On the other hand, Monica is in denim on denim, and we don’t think we have seen anyone on television do it better. We wonder whether they had planned their outfits before filming the scene because it sure works perfectly for both of them. Not to mention season 3 holds some romantic mysteries in store for their characters too.
The One With Phoebe's '60s Vibe
Anyone who has watched Friends knows Phoebe Buffay is not the most fashion-forward of the cast. She still keeps up with her girlfriends quite beautifully, and in this case, the Smelly Cat singer stands out with her plaid dress from the '60s, which though somewhat dated-looking, still works out.
Contrasting from the real-life Barbie (read Phoebe) is Monica, who in this image is in a simple black and white outfit, with her scoop neck the only noticeable feature. Safe to say, the show never disappointed when it came to clothing, cutting across all styles and times with great flair.
The One Where Monica Steals The Show
We are used to seeing Rachel dressed in her best throughout the series; she usually surpassed the rest easily. Still, in this shot, Monica pulls a rare feat and outshines her best friend with this sleek black short dress combined with black tights, a super stylish and timeless combination.
Comparatively, Rachel looks cozy in her pajamas as she wallows the day away. The beauty of the series is we get moments like these, where unexpected people wear out of the blue, jaw-dropping outfits. Also, does anyone know where we can find that dress? We’d love to try it out since the look is back in vogue!
The One With The Casual '90s Vibe
Friends made waves not just because of its humor but also because of its fashion statements. This episode, in particular, showcases the dressing of the '90s in all its glory. As always, the girls have their own interpretation of that chilling-at-home vibe.
Rachel's easy-fitting silk camisole and gray slacks are both casual and classy. On the other hand, Monica is sporting a simply cut but beautiful smokey grey dress with sheer black tights. There's no denying Rachel's outfit in this scene is very casual-chic and airy looking, but we prefer Monica's pared-down look based on how comfortable it seems.
The One With The Red Carpet Glamor
In this glamorous episode, almost every girl in Joey's award ceremony is wearing spaghetti straps giving an idea of how trendy these must have been back in those days. Our very own Rachel is also wearing a beautiful super '90s styled red dress that looks stunning enough that Jennifer Anniston might have worn it to a Red Carpet event herself.
On the other hand, Joey is also handsomely dressed in a classic black and white tuxedo for the ceremony. Both of them blended elegantly with the other characters during the episode, though we must say Rachel and Joey stole the show.
The One With The Chevron Mini
Monica was rarely seen on the show with a dress as casual and free-flowing as in this episode. The scene where Monica and Chandler are in conversation about how to keep their romance under wraps shows her as an endearingly happy lady in the first flush of love. And Courteney Cox's acting sets up the look perfectly.
We can't help but feel that the change in Monica's dress is indicative of how carefree and relaxed she feels with Chandler around and how being in love has given her well-deserved composure and confidence. The showrunners really did a fabulous job in the costume department!
The One With Flailing Fashions
The show's fourth season presented Monica in a more casual and less fashionable attire than any other year. Monica wore a checkered shirt in this episode, a complete departure from the character's apparel from the past three seasons. Her hair is also of medium length and held in loose waves, again different than most other episodes.
On the other hand, Rachel looks good like always in her short black dress with a touch of grey on sleeves and around the waist. We get that she works in fashion, so her looks are always on-point, but help your best friend dress up once in a while?
The One With All The Halloween Costumes
This episode was a time for Halloween festivities, which meant a party with lots of guests in lots of fabulous costumes. Each of the cast members had cool and innovative looks though Rachel and Monica had our attention from the get-go.
Monica sports an impossibly chic-looking catsuit, and her Halloween party hostess look is the sleekest we have ever seen. Even her long hair combed back looks great on her. Rachel is spotted in a beautiful strapless dress that doesn't look much like a Halloween costume despite its allure but let's not forget she's first and foremost a fashionista.
The One With The Classic Office Attire
Rachel Greene's fashion taste kept getting better and better as the Friends show progressed. It was appropriate knowing that Jennifer Aniston's character works in the fashion industry. Countless fans candidly admitted during the show's 10-season run; they tuned in to see Rachel's outfits, especially whatever she wore at the office.
This particular look she wore is a classic work outfit, a crisp white blouse paired with an A-line black leather skirt. Professional looking, yes, but also undeniably elegant. Just adding some jewelry transforms this for evening wear, making this combination a perfect day-to-night look.
The One With Monica's Red Dress
Although Friends' ten-season run was already over many years ago, its impact on pop culture continues today. Aside from iconic hairstyles, such as the famous "Rachel Cut," the show featured some truly memorable outfits like those from all the wedding episodes.
Who could ever forget Monica's red bridesmaid dress that she wore at Ross's wedding to Emily? It may not have the usual glittering elements to make it iconic, but it was the dress she wore while trying to get some alone time with Chandler. The classic red gown will always remind Friends fans of London and the beginning of this pair's love story.
The One With Rachel's Trademark Skirt
There's no question, Rachel Green was the resident fashion guru of this group. Aside from her iconic haircut, Jennifer Aniston's character is still famous for her outfits that perfectly personified '90s fashion trends. Fans of the show must remember Rachel's favorite outfit combo during the first few seasons, a blouse paired with her trademark black skirt.
Of Rachel's many stunning looks, this knotted blouse paired with a mini skirt is a firm fan-favorite from those earlier seasons. She wore the outfit to surprise Ross, only to find out he has a new girlfriend after coming back from his China trip.
The One With Many Outfits
The Friends episode "The One Where No One's Ready is a beloved favorite for many reasons. First, it provided non-stop laughter because Joey and Chandler were fighting about a chair. Second, it was also the episode Monica couldn't tell if her ex-boyfriend's answering machine message was old or new.
For fashion enthusiasts, this chapter was all about Rachel's mint green gown. We can't help but admire how elegant the dress is, no matter how simple. Let's not forget the other memorable outfits worn here, especially the entirety of Chandler's wardrobe that Joey wore to spite him.
The One With All The Purple
Remember when Phoebe said that Rachel was Ross's lobster, of course, meaning that they're meant to be together forever? Well, that statement can't be more perfect in this photo. We don't know if the show's costume staff intentionally meant for the pair's characters to wear purple.
If there's a color to associate Friends with, it's undeniably purple. That's the color of Monica and Rachel's apartment walls, where the group spent a lot of time throughout the show. The hue often symbolizes royalty, which is perfect for Ross and Rachel - they are indeed like the show's royal couple.
The One With Gorgeous Locks
In the 90s, many people admired the hair of Rachel Green, played by Jennifer Aniston in Friends. Rachel had different hairstyles over the years, going from mid-length to short hair. During the first two seasons of the series, Rachel's hair became so iconic that it was named "The Rachel."
Despite everyone copying the character's short hairstyle, fans also loved her long locks and even associated the look with the famous character. No matter what hairstyle she sports, it's safe to say that Aniston did justice to Rachel, so she will always be a favorite of viewers, including us.
The One With The Engagement Outfits
Everyone cheered when Matthew Perry’s Chandler Bing proposed to Courtney Cox’s Monica Geller. Monica looked like her usual self when they became engaged, in a black tank top and a rust-colored skirt, which contrasted with the unusual hot pink dress she wore for her ex Richard Burke.
The perfectionist chef’s regular outfits fit well with Bing’s budget-friendly suit and tie and a button-down shirt. Coordinated outfits might not be a testament to how much Monica is meant to be with Chandler, but no one can deny that she’s more herself when with our favorite sarcastic analyst. So no surprise that these two got married!
The One With The Oops Wedding
Numerous characters in movies get married while wilding out in Las Vegas. The creators of Friends also jumped on this bandwagon when they decided to have this storyline with Rachel Green and Ross Geller on The One After Vegas episode.
From the morning after the unintended nuptials, Rachel's outfit, a white floral patterned top with thin straps, is quite bridal and feminine. On the other hand, Ross is wearing a classic blue button-down shirt. Even though their marriage brought a lot of drama, it's nice to know that these two lovebirds still got together in the end.
The One With The Legendary Top
There are many iconic outfits on Friends, but one particular top remains a favorite even for contemporary viewers. Suppose you’re wondering just which one we’re referring to. It’s the criss-cross neckline brown top that Rachel Greene wore on The One With Ross’s Tan.
The shirt’s boho look is so fashion-forward that you could get away with wearing it at Coachella even today. Rachel’s elegant yet quirky style made her an instant influencer when the term wasn’t even coined yet. Therefore, it’s not surprising that we’re still enamored by her wardrobe fifteen years after the show wrapped up.
The One With Upper East Side Glamor
Before Reese Witherspoon became Elle Woods, she appeared on the 6th season of Friends as Jill Green. Jill is the younger sister of Rachel, who never left upper-class society. She gave viewers a peek at the Greene family lifestyle that her older sister lived before becoming a runaway bride.
Jill’s style on the show is in contrast with the central perk chums’ budget-friendly looks. The younger Green’s outfits were neutral and expensive, different from what our main leads were wearing. Nevertheless, Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe still looking great without super-expensive designer wear was a feat in itself.
The One Where Rachel Had Waves
We are sure by now; we have all got every episode of Friends memorized and, and some of us also remember every single outfit that Rachel has ever worn on the series. The undisputed fashion queen has undoubtedly rocked each look while setting new trends.
These beachy waves helped accentuate Rachel's longer locks, looking pristine and perfectly styled. What especially caught our attention at that moment were her clothes – that deep red with an orange tinge teamed up with a black tank top is adorable. We love everything about this look, from Rachel's enviable hair to her simple yet stylish outfit.
The One With The Leather Pants
After watching countless Friends re-runs on TV, we've noticed Ross is also a total fashion guy with an unlikely unique style all his own. It is easy to say he is pretty adventurous when it comes to his wardrobe choices, and those fashion blunders make us love him more.
Ross not only managed to make us hysterically laugh while trying to put those super tight black leather pants back on, but he also revived the trend for these snug garments. Apart from being one of the funniest moments on the show, Ross's iconic leather pant faux pas didn't go unnoticed on our fashion radar.
The One Moment Ross Did Not See Through
Undoubtedly, the Friends cast became global fashion icons during the late nineties and early 2000s. Even though other female characters appeared only occasionally in the series, they still gave us some serious fashion goals. While many may not remember the actor in this scene, we surely can’t forget her iconic sheer top.
We, for one, are loving the see-through top that Ross’s not-date Amanda wore while looking so elegant. The bold look can be challenging to pull off for many, but she does it effortlessly. Come to think of it, no wonder Ross ended up babysitting for Amanda so willingly.
The One With The Bridal Perfection
While Rachel has been our eternal fashion diva, Monica also had her moments when it came to chic styling. As we all know, she had quite a traditional taste and preferred to keep things simple. So it comes as no surprise that Monica's wedding dress is still popular with many brides today.
Yes, her wedding ensemble was simple, but it was also pretty elegant. Despite a slight wardrobe mix-up since she bought a very different-looking outfit earlier, Monica looked perfect in her glistening satin dress. Keeping her hair styled minimally, the new Mrs. Bing looked timeless in her sophisticated mermaid gown.
The One With The Turtleneck
Even today, Rachel Greene is the go-to sitcom fashion inspiration for many girls around the world. We aren’t surprised that this diva can rock any outfit, from our basic tees to turtlenecks. Especially her sweater collection is indeed something we would love to own, but we aren’t sure if we would be able to pull that look half as good as Rachel.
Not to mention that sleek bob she sports in this season, arguably one of the most daring styles that Rachel has adopted on the show. We must say that blunt cut combined with a chic turtleneck is a look we would love to try.
