Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
There are certain TV shows that are simply timeless — like Friends. You know what else is turning out to be completely timeless? Rachel Green’s fall-friendly outfits that are still my inspiration 30 years later.
In an episode from season 1, Jennifer Aniston’s character wore one of the most iconic outfits that even stars like Hailey Bieber have copied: a pleated plaid skirt that reminds us of the one Taylor Swift wore recently, paired with a turtleneck sweater in a cropped silhouette, which is one of Hollywood’s go-to fall staples.
I don’t know about you, but I personally cannot get enough of plaid in the fall. The multitude of colors makes it so easy to mix-and-match with other pieces in my closet. And a turtleneck is so warm and stylish, plus you can easily dress it up or down.
Channel your inner Rachel Green this fall with these similar plaid skirts and turtleneck sweaters at Amazon, Nordstrom, Old Navy, and more.
Jennifer Aniston’s Outfit Blueprint
Urban Coco Plaid Pleated Skirt
Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Garner, and countless other stars are wearing plaid in different ways lately. For those who want a comfy and stylish alternative to pants, consider this plaid skirt that reminds us of Aniston’s look in Friends. It has flattering pleats that make it flowy, and it’s available in 10 plaid variations, including blue and purple.
Allegra K Plaid A-Line Skirt
This option at Amazon has a longer silhouette that falls to the knees. I love the A-line design that flares at the base, giving it a flowy and elegant appearance. One shopper called that skirt “very soft and comfortable,” adding that it’s “perfect for fall.”
Zaful Cropped Turtleneck Sweater
Turtlenecks are a staple Rachel Green style, and Aniston herself wears them during the cooler seasons. A cropped turtleneck sweater like this one at Amazon is ideal for wearing with high-waisted pants or skirts. The oversized silhouette and sleeves remind me of a comfier version of a sweatshirt. The thick turtleneck will keep your neck covered, which is ideal for declining fall temperatures. It’s also on sale thanks to a coupon code.
It’s clear that Jennifer Aniston’s outfit in Friends will be there for you for years to come. Get in on the trend with these Rachel Green-inspired styles below.
