Move Aside Emily, We’re Styling Friend’s Rachel Green If She Was a Parisian

Growing up, Rachel Green from Friends has been a style icon. A cute bob cut, baby tees, and a plaid skirt continue to take Pinterest by storm. As the character and show progressed, so did her style. Baby tees still made an appearance here and there, but during the latter of the series, Green’s style reached new highs. Fitted blazers for her office ensemble, season three’s mint green gown never left anyone's mind, and plaid staples were her closet’s best offerings. The series ended with Green ultimately staying in New York, but we love a good what-if. 

What if she boarded her flight to Paris? How would her style translate to the Parisian setting?  Paris fashion is seemingly different from New York style. With some common ground of individuality and bold colors, we can’t help but think Green would’ve situated herself quite comfortably. Below, we let our imagination run wild and dressed Rachel Green with a Parisian twist. 

Sandro Ruffled Cardigan

From $280

Red was the first color that came to mind when I thought of the character. Bold and a pop of color seem like the perfect combination.

This Croc-embossed ankle boot features a brand-appropriate “R” on the boot, but we’ll add a double meaning for Rachel, too.

Ba&sh Large Tote Bag

Rachel naturally reached for a medium-sized bag for her day-to-day, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. Easy to throw your lippies, perfumes, and wallet in, and if she really wanted to, a baguette.
