10 Outfits From FRIENDS That You Have To Recreate

FRIENDS first aired in 1994, and 25 years later, the obsession with its fashion has yet to dwindle. The classic nineties outfits that the characters pull off so stylishly, have undoubtedly made a come back in the last few years. With mom jeans, crop tops and slip dresses all rising in fashion, let’s take a look back to these sitcom characters who wore them first. From Rachel’s iconic plaid skirt to Phoebe’s baggy button ups, here are ten outfits from FRIENDS that you have to recreate!

1. Rachel’s Plaid Skirt

In The One Where The Monkey Gets Away, Rachel pairs a plaid mini skirt with an off-white sweater and knee socks to create one of her most iconic looks. This preppy style is cute and effortless and similar to a lot of outfits worn by Rachel in the first season. Plaid mini skirts can be found almost anywhere, but this one’s namesake comes from Rachel herself, reminding us of who pulled off this fashion trend the best.

2. Monica’s Striped Trousers

It’s almost impossible to walk down any street in the UK without spying someone wearing a pair of striped trousers, and 25 years ago, Monica Geller was wearing the very same thing. This monochrome outfit is so simple but very cool; her high waisted trousers paired with a crop top makes this outfit flattering and stylish. Grab a pair of striped trousers to jump in with the 2019 trend, and reminisce on the best FRIENDS outfits of the nineties.

3. Rachel’s Gingham Dress

Gingham is always in, and Rachel’s timeless gingham mini dress definitely proves this. This style is simple yet elegant, making it perfect for casual and formal occasions – dressed up with heels or down with trainers. Mini dresses are a reoccurring look in so many of the FRIENDS outfits, so if you’re looking for some nineties inspiration, this is the way to go.

4. Rachel’s Checked Trousers and White Tee

Throughout the early seasons of the show, one of Rachel’s favourite FRIENDS outfits were patterned trousers with a crop top and trainers. These checked trousers are super cool and casual, and another look that is definitely being brought back in today’s trends. Rachel’s simple tees are so basic that you probably already have a few in your wardrobe; an old one that you’ve probably forgotten about will make a great vintage look to channel your inner nineties nostalgia! The jacket wrapped around the waist is a nice touch to add to your casual and effortless look.

5. Phoebe’s Midi Skirt

Phoebe’s amazing style in FRIENDS is sometimes overlooked, but her FRIENDS outfits were definitely some of the best. Her most iconic looks are definitely those where she sports her long skirts that perfectly match her relaxed, hippie style. You’ll find her wearing one of these in most early episodes, paired with loose sweaters or cardigans and her wild curly hair. Recreate one of Phoebe’s best looks with a midi skirt for a relaxed and cute outfit that is a little more unique.

6. Rachel’s Dungarees

Dungarees are the best thing to reach for in your wardrobe when you’re feeling lazy. They’re so comfortable and easy but they look great! Another one of Rachel’s early FRIENDS outfits are these denim dungarees – the epitome of nineties fashion (she probably had a denim jacket to go with them). With a simple white tee underneath (a bit of a pattern in Rachel’s looks) this is a great go-to outfit that will always look cool and casual. Recreate this outfit with a pair of Lucy and Yak’s sustainable and ethical dungarees!

7. Monica’s Mom Jeans

Mom jeans are back, and you’re probably seeing them in every store window. Monica sported these straight cut jeans in so many episodes, paired with a huge variety of other pieces, but this red vest is by far one of her coolest looks. It’s casual and easy, with her classic black leather handbag, and is definitely one that you’ll be able to easily copy. Mom jeans can be found just about everywhere, but if you really want to recreate this FRIENDS outfit, try to find some vintage Levi’s for an authentic look.

8. Rachel’s Tan Trousers

Another pair of simple and cool trousers from the FRIENDS outfits are Rachel’s baggy tan pants. These are a slightly different look to her usual cropped trousers or mini skirts, but she pulls them off just as stylishly with a simple white logo tee. The best part about these trousers is how unbelievably comfortable they look – they could literally be pyjamas (another style that 2019 has definitely seen a lot of). Pair these with a simple crop top for a flattering style that Rachel definitely sported a lot.

9. Monica’s Buttoned Dress

A lot of the FRIENDS outfits definitely included mini dresses, and this button down worn by Monica is one of the best. She wears it with simply with some white trainers for the perfect casual summer look that is so easy to recreate. The button down look is one that reappears a lot in the FRIENDS outfits and one that is definitely returning to fashion trends this year. Add a simple black string handbag to the dress to get Monica’s complete look!

10. Phoebe’s Front Tied Shirt

As well as her midi skirts, Phoebe’s outfits often include some kind of oversized top, to finish off her effortlessly cool and hippie look. This front tied shirt is a great way to incorporate some kind of jacket into your outfit that doesn’t take away from your look at all. Phoebe’s FRIENDS outfits are always easy to recreate as you can probably find a lot of pieces in your closet already. Also, if you’re looking for these oversized, colourful and random pieces, try taking a look in some charity shops!
