The Ultimate Rachel Green Fall Style Edit

Rachel Green. Need I say more?

OK, I will.

She served as a fashion icon and ‘90s IT Girl, engineering fashion trends that we still cling to dearly today. Reminiscent of a simpler time of payphones and Ralph Lauren, we are nostalgic for a decade in which many of us never resided.

So, to sedate a longing, a nostalgia for something we’ve never known, we do what any hot girl would do: dress the part. This listicle will go into a deep dive of what to wear to fill the shoes of the icon who lives forever in our hearts and TV screens: our very own, Rachel Green.

Enjoy a Central Perk coffee or matcha while we indulge in Ms. Green’s wardrobe of life.

Rachel, the trendsetter she is, would accompany this article with a ceremonial grade half-sweetened matcha or just a regular cup of joe (black). Depends on what beckons her in the morning: a fight with Ross or with Monica.

To live vicariously and dress the part, you will want some staples in your closet.

A pair of tights is nothing short of a necessity, accompanied by a mini black skirt, and a sweater with a little turtle/mock neck is an undeniable must-have to achieve her falling leaves look. Nothing says fall like a classic black boot, and nothing says Rachel like a good price. Frugality is a necessity for a woman in NYC, so the deals are cut where she can get them. Luckily, Strike’s looking out for your wallet, too.

Classic Black Boot (Boot 1, Boot 2)

But let us never forget that there is no Rachel Green without a good dad jean and an even better tee. These jeans I personally swear by. Tried and true. I believe that some items are worth the investment: those jeans and this baby tee being one of them. By treating pieces in your wardrobe like investments, as if you were, say, a shopper for Ralph Lauren (thank you, Rachel), you learn to repurpose them in a multitude of ways, helping sweeten the deal of spending more than you normally would on a particular item.

And never fear, I wouldn't end this how-to without a lip combo to carry you back three decades. This liner and lip duo will give you the perfect Central Perk pout to leave on your coffee mug.

So now I leave you with an insatiable pair of jeans and a lip combo. Two things a girl can spend her life in search of. Through it all, you have no one better to thank than our one and only Rachel Green.

Strike Out,
