      How to Recreate Every One of Rachel Green’s Thanksgiving Outfits

      by

      In this world, there are two universal truths: one is that Jennifer Anniston simply doesn’t age, and the other is that some way, somehow, Rachel Green’s Friends outfits remain in style as time goes on.Rachel Green’s outfits (and hair, obviously) defined the ’90s, and her cool-girl, effortless looks all offer something to aspire to even in 2020. Sure, Monica and Phoebe had looks that will stick in our minds until the end of time, but Rachel just got it. She seldom wore something that we wouldn’t happily wear today, and considering it’s 25 years later, that’s saying something.
      Every year, one of the most difficult dressing conundrums is, of course, choosing at Thanksgiving look, and who better to turn to for inspiration than Rachel Green herself? We’ve replicated every Thanksgiving outfit Rachel ever wore, from her iconic football look to what she cooked her infamous trifle in. (Never mind that we might not be leaving our homes for it this year, we say the show must go on!). 

      1. Season 1, Episode 9

      Rachel’s first Thanksgiving outfit was, in my humble opinion, one of her best. The simplicity of this sweater with some black pants screams “I don’t need to try too hard to be the best-dressed cousin.”

      2. Season 3, Episode 9

      When I think of a Friends Thanksgiving episode, my mind goes straight to this one—and we have a feeling that quarantine Rachel would be wearing something similar to this this year.

      shirt / long-sleeve shirt / joggers / shoes / hat

      3. Season 4, Episode 8

      Yes, Ross was the worst in this episode, but Rachel’s chic layered look was (almost) distracting enough to steal the whole episode.

      turtleneck / shirt / skirt / boots

      4. Season 5, Episode 8

      Leave it to Rachel Green to be wearing one of 2020’s top fall trends: fringe. This subtle touch of it on the lower-half of her sleeves is more Thanksgiving dinner, less boho, and we couldn’t love it more.

      sweater / jeans / black boots / necklace

      5. Season 6, Episode 9

      Rachel didn’t know a thing about how to bake a trifle, but she did know about picking the perfect color sweater for Thanksgiving dinner. Paired with a red lip? To die for.

      sweater / skirt / black booties

      6. Season 7, Episode 8

      In all of Friends, this is one of my top three favorite looks worn by any character. This is all-black done right with a mix of textures to make it interesting. A long black leather skirt and knee-high leather boots? It doesn’t get better than that.

      leather skirt / sweater / boots

      7. Season 8, Episode 9

      The star of this episode was Brad Pitt, but the runner up was this whimsical lace top that was as festive as they come. 

      top / top (affordable option) / jeans / layered necklace / boots

      8. Season 9, Episode 8

      A wine-colored sweater is the quintessential go-to of Thanksgiving wear, but we think Rachel would swap these pants for 2020’s faux-leather trend (in a similar color, of course). The result? The fall-toned color palette of our dreams.

      sweater / pants / earrings / booties

      9. Season 10, Episode 8

      Nobody does a twist on preppiness like Rachel Green, and lucky for us, preppy looks are back in full-swing for 2020. Take inspiration from Rachel and layer a black sweater tank over a crisp, white button-up, and you’ve got an understated-but-festive winner of an outfit.

      16 Ways to Style a Plain White Button-Down

      by

      Owning a simple, plain button-down shirt is the equivalent of having a best friend that always has your back. In the year 2020, I made a ridiculously long, ambitious list of aspects of my life that I wanted to change and while “working out every day” most definitely didn’t happen, I will pat myself on the back for cutting down my online shopping. One of the ways that I leaned into spending less on clothes was to take a step back, reevaluate the items I already had, and find new, fun, and adventurous ways to style them. The article that became a front runner in my feat to becoming a cool fashion girl on a budget was my trusty, white button-down that I purchased the year before the world set fire. 

      I first bought her with the sole purpose of styling with a blazer for an interview, but each time I find a new use for my white button-down, my tunnel vision dissipates just a bit more and I fall even deeper in love. She’s versatile, she’s chic, she’s sexy, and she’s ready to be the new favorite fashion piece that you already have.

      This outfit combo is so cool but will keep you nice and toasty in the colder months ahead. I love this trendy take on an otherwise classic piece and will be rocking it all season long.

      2. With faux leather leggings and a camel-colored jacket

      Source: @theplussizedprep

      Here at The Everygirl, we love a pair of faux leather leggings, and second to that, we love a good camel coat. Pair these two fan favs with a white button-down for the ultimate put-together-yet-casual vibe.

      3. With a structured coat and tailored denim

      Source: @brooklynblonde1

      How chic is this outfit formula? While jeans and a button-down make a statement on their own, adding a structured coat and pointed-toe heels will take things to the next level so that you can make any casual street your personal runway.

      4. Unbuttoned and over a dress

      Source: @sara.azani

      Throwing an open button-down blouse over a delicate dress is the perfect way to transition your summer dress into fall and is such a beautiful combination. Cheers to the perfect “in-between seasons” look.

      5. Cinched with a chunky belt

      Source: @simplytandya

      Adding a belt is the easiest, most underrated way to bring new life to your average button-down. Use a chunky, geometric belt to jazz up a fitted blouse or grab your sleekest skinny belt to add shape to your oversized button-down. 

      6. Paired with athleisure

      Source: @trulyjamie

      Pairing a white button-down with athleisure is the cool-girl trend you didn’t see coming. Is she headed to spin class, running errands, or hitting up a dinner with friends? It’s none of our business but she’ll look fine as hell regardless.

      7. Under a sweater

      Preppy fashion stans, unite! This look is far from new but is such an effortless way to add structure and class to your favorite chunky knit sweater. 

      8. With a linen skirt

      How gorgeous is this button-down-meets-linen-skirt pairing? This is such an elegant way to transition your summer skirts into fall and winter and is a combo we’ll be wearing over and over.

      9. Half-tucked with lounge pants

      Source: @mylittlebooktique

      This half-tucked button-down shirt is like candy for my eyeballs. I’ve definitely tucked in my button-downs in the past but half-in/half-out is an absolutely wild concept that I wish I would have thought of sooner. If you’re looking for an easy yet stylish WFH outfit, you’ve found it.

      10. As a monochrome look, tied at the waist

      Source: @theblondeinpink

      I can’t tell what aspect of this outfit combo I like more: the tasteful white-on-white pairing or the flawless execution of the old tie-at-the-waist technique. Thankfully, I don’t have to choose and will be keeping both styling options in my back pocket.

      11. Under a sweater vest

      Source: @ashbegash

      Sweater weather but make it edgy. I don’t have a sweater vest of my own but if I did, I’d opt to wear this combo every day. Pair it with distressed jeans and combat boots and you have yourself a look.  

      12. Tucked into denim

      Source: @theyusufs

      This outfit formula is so incredibly easy to pull together. Tuck your plain button-down into your favorite pair of denim jeans and you’re good to go! Looking polished with minimal effort is always the move. 

      13. With a statement skirt

      Source: @thebeverlyadams

      Business on top, party down below. I love this unassuming pairing of a refined button-down and a statement skirt. Bring on all of the fun textures, bold prints, and adventurous silhouettes. We’re ready for you.

      14. Off the shoulder

      Source: @missenocha

      Unbutton your shirts ladies, we’re going off the shoulder for this one. This is such a fun way to revive your button-up and is oh so chic. You can achieve this look one of two ways: Either a) unbutton the entire shirt, flip the collar over your shoulders, and tie in the middle to join the sides or b) unbutton half of the shirt, flip the collar over your shoulders, and tuck the hem into your bottoms of choice.

      15. With flare denim jeans and loafers

      Source: @stephanietrotta

      Flare denim jeans are one of my favorite 2020 trends and pairing them with a simple white button-down is the perfect way to mix classic and trending style. Pop the collar for extra credit.

      16. Belted with OTK boots

      Source: @kayla_seah

      Not sure what to do with the men’s style or oversized button-down hanging in your closet? People, this is it. Pop a sweater or sweater vest over it, rock your button-down as a dress, and pair with some over-the-knee boots for a bold, fashion-forward look. More

      I Tried Spanx’s New Leather Leggings—Here’s What I Thought

      by

      If there’s one thing you’re probably sick of hearing about from our team—besides Nancy Meyers, Harry Styles, and French culture as a whole—it’s probably the Spanx leather leggings. I can’t think of a single member of our team who doesn’t have them, and we all wear them to death and consider them a top-five wardrobe staple. We aren’t faking it; we love the damn things.If I had to find a complaint about mine, I’d say one, single thing: they don’t exactly look like leather. They look more like a leather/legging hybrid, which is fitting because that’s exactly what they are, but once in a blue moon, I want to look more like Olivia Newton John sewn into leather pants that are as tight to her body as her own skin than I want to look like I’m just wearing leather leggings. And lo and behold, the universe felt this energy and delivered me a gift in the form of a targeted ad for Spanx’s new, patent leather leggings.

      There they were in all their glory: a pair of leather-looking leggings, with shine and all, that allegedly felt like leggings too. Because of the amount of wear I get out of my classic Spanx leather leggings, I ordered them in the same size, ready to spend the rest of quarantine sitting on my couch in patent leather.

      I’m not going to lie: when I first took these out of the package, it gave me pause. It seemed like they might make a little bit of noise when I walked because of their faux-leatherness, and while I’m all about dressing slightly ridiculous, noisy leggings just are something I can’t do. But once I put them on, my fears were voided, and to my absolute surprise, they actually felt pretty similar to how my original leggings feel on my body: like real leggings.

        
      Out the gate, I love how these look and feel. If you’re in the same boat as me where you want something that looks a little more like real leather, these are absolutely the answer. They’re as comfortable as any faux-leather pant could possibly be, but look like real leather. Any tighter leather pant can be a nightmare fit-wise, and these are absolutely foolproof (for reference, I’m wearing a size medium here, which is true to size according to their size charts). These can make anything from sweaters to a cropped sweatshirt to just a T-shirt look cool and feel dressed-up while remaining comfortable and seamless. 

      The Spanx leather leggings are an investment, but one that I’ve found paid for themselves in cost per wear—I truly could not wear mine more, and they’re still in perfect condition after 18 months of having them. Because of that, I’m so glad to be adding this somewhat-of-an-investment piece into my wardrobe too. If you told me at the beginning of 2020 that I’d be wearing leather pants while working from home, I wouldn’t have believed you, but it isn’t the most surprising thing of the year. More

      10 Accessories That Deserve a Spot in Your Wardrobe

      by

      While your wardrobe strategy might be to buy as many clothes as you can get your hands on, it’s a fact that nothing is going to change your outfits as much as an accessory has the ability to. As much as trends come and go, good, versatile accessories are forever. A gold necklace sitting on top of a plain sweater with jeans or a statement-making bag over your errand-running clothes can take you from feeling like your look is thrown together to tricking yourself into feeling like you actually planned out your outfit the night before. 
      2020 has given us no shortage of amazing accessories to choose from, from revivals of your favorite hairpiece of the ’90s to your new go-to bags. These pieces deserve a place in your wardrobe—and you’ll never, ever regret having them.

      Source: @sasha.mei for @mejuri

      1. A chunky gold necklace
      We’re huge advocates for dainty, everyday jewelry that are no brainers for day-to-day wear, but sometimes, a chunky gold necklace is exactly what the doctor ordered. When paired over a minimal outfit, it’ll serve as a statement piece you’ll never regret having (and that will pair with absolutely anything).

      2. A pair of statement hoops
      By now, you probably have a good pair of gold hoops that you love, but finding a pair that’s a bit more out of the box can change your accessory game for the better. From pearls to unexpected accents, your hoops can—and should!—be a little bit of fun.

      Source: @trulyjamie

      3. A shoulder bag
      Once you experience the transformative power of a small shoulder bag, all of your crossbodies will take a break on the backburner for the rest of the season. Nothing screams “cool girl” more than these, and they take no effort to style—just swap out your go-to bag for one and head out the door.

       

      4. A go-to scarf
      If you’re like us here in the Midwest, a scarf is a need, not a want. But especially when we’re only leaving the house for quarantine walks, a scarf should keep you feeling warm and cute (I’m partial to a blanket scarf the size of my comforter but to each their own).

      Source: @bysecondwind

      5. A fashion-forward mask
      Sure, masks are the “accessory” nobody exactly predicted for 2020, but they’re here to stay for a while, so we might as well make them as fun as possible, right? Add a chain to your favorite one or opt for a statement-making pattern or material and you’ll never have to run back inside because you forgot yours again.

       

      6. A beanie
      Especially if you live in a colder climate, the limit of winter hats you can have simply does not exist; they’re both functional and cute as all hell, and how many things can you say that about? Of course, we’re partial to ones with poms, but we’ve rarely come across a beanie we’d say no to.

       

      Source: @emuaustralia

      7. A cozy pair of slippers
      Since much of the colder season is going to be spent indoors this year, your work-from-home uniform needs the ultimate cozy accessory: a pair of slippers. They’ll bring you a little bit of cozy joy every single day.

      8. A hair clip
      You probably haven’t worn a claw clip in the better half of the past 15 years, but they’re back, and they’re a lot chicer than you might remember. Let your face-framing pieces free and throw your hair up in one for a one-and-done hair look that can replace your messy bun.

       

      Source: @theyusufs

      9. Statement-making sunglasses
      We all have a tried-and-true pair of sunnies; the one that never fails us and that we know looks good. But having a pair that make more of a statement can be a game-changer on days that you need something to spice up a go-to outfit.

       

      10. A beret
      Yes, all it took was Emily in Paris to be released for berets to immediately make their way onto the scene, but the French accessory just gives your outfit a bit more je ne sais quoi than an ordinary beanie does.  More

      At one-month-old Gigi Hadid’s daughter has started her designer bag collection

      by

      At just one-month-old, Gigi Hadid’s newborn daughter has already started her own designer back collection.
      Over the weekend, the supermodel shared a photo of some gifts for baby Hadid-Malik which included a sweet fluffy baby grow.

      What was also featured was a tiny Jacquemus Le Chiquito handbag, which was gifted to the 25-year-old new mum by the brand’s creative director Simon Porte Jacquemus.

      Making the gift even more special, the supermodel was actually seen with the bag, albeit a slightly larger version, when she walked the Jacquemus show back in January, which would have likely been around the start of her pregnancy.
      A couple of days prior to posting the Jacquemus gift, the new mum had penned a handwritten note which she posted to Instagram to thank everyone for their “generous gifts” following the birth of her first child.

      “I just want to put out there… while I have the time, that when I do ‘thank yous’ on here, I think of the so many generous gifts we have received that haven’t gotten a public ‘thanks’,” she said.
      “I am overwhelmed with how many beautiful things this little one has already been spoiled with by people I love – and I will slowly probably share them.”
      Gigi welcomed her first child just over a month ago, revealing she had given birth on Instagram posting a sweet photo of new dad Zayn Malik holding the tiny hand of baby Hadid-Malik.
      “Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend and she’s already changed our world,” she captioned the photo. “So in love.”

      7 Outfits to Wear This Fall

      by

      If there’s one thing I learned this year, it’s that you need to take joy where you can get it—be it from an episode of your favorite show, your favorite creamer mixed into your coffee in the morning, or dressing in real clothes when you have absolutely nowhere to go.Fall clothes are the height of fashion; every other season pales in comparison to the rich tones, excess of textures, and variety of options that fall has to offer. And, pandemic or not, that’s something that should be relished. 
      Whether you’re looking for an outfit to wear to your Thanksgiving at home or just something to spice up your average Tuesday (we feel you), these are seven fool-proof outfits to wear this season, chock-full of camel tones, cozy sweaters, and all the fun boots your cabin-fever-ridden self could dream up. Throw your sweats in the hamper and try out one of these this week:

      1. A sweater dress, knee-high boots, and a quilted bag

      This is the quintessential Thanksgiving look: you’re ultra-cozy in a sweater dress (and no pants, obviously), but the contrast between the camel sweater and black boots makes the look feel dressed-up and seasonally appropriate. 
      Here, the accessories have the potential to do all the talking. For something fancier, top it off with cat-eye sunnies and a quilted bag (like we did here). To dress it down, pair it with your favorite shoulder bag and aviators. The options are endless.

      sweater dress / boots / bag / sunglasses

      2. A camel coat, skinny jeans, and loafers

      There are few things a good camel coat can’t fix, and if you’re in search of a new go-to uniform, chances are, a camel coat could be your missing ingredient. This one is ultra-flattering with puffed sleeves and a wrap detail, and the emerald green python loafers give it an unexpected element that screams autumn. A white, top-handle bag serves as the icing on the cake, and gives another layer of dimension by adding another neutral color to the mix.

      jeans / coat / sweater / loafers / bag

      3. A lace top, leather pants, and heeled boots

      Leather and lace is the juxtaposition that we turn to time and time again for the combination of edginess and femininity that it can simultaneously bring. Here, we stuck to shades of tan to give it a monochromatic feel, and topped it off with pops of white. 
      When searching for a good lace blouse, we’re partial to one with a high neck and detailing that gives it the ability to be paired with anything, from jeans to your work pants.  

      pants / top / boots / bag

      4. A matching set, sherpa moto jacket, and white sneakers

      We’re all trying to figure out ways to look chic while staying cozy this year, and nothing does that more than a monochrome matching set (that can double as going-out wear and loungewear) paired with a cool-girl jacket and sneakers. It’s effortless, relaxed, and gives the appearance that you spent way more thought on it than you did (let’s be real, you probably rolled out of bed in it—but no one would ever know).

      matching set / sneakers / jacket / sunglasses

      5. A puffer, light-wash jeans, and white sneakers

      Oversized puffers are one of the top outerwear trends of the season, and it isn’t hard to figure out why: they’re simple, practical, and exude coolness. Pair yours with your favorite sweater and jeans, and top it off with your favorite sneakers and sunglasses for an outfit you can take from errands to an outdoor happy hour with friends.

      jeans / puffer / sweater / sneakers / bag

      6. A black turtleneck, black leather pants, and white coat

      If there’s one thing 2020 did right, it’s faux leather. Long gone are the days of squeaky, cheap pleather that you had to shimmy around your bedroom to get into. This year is full of soft, comfortable options that look like the real thing—without the cost to your wallet or the environment.
      There’s just something about a long, white coat, and paired on top of an all-black look, it pops and serves as the winter white look of our dreams. If you want to go the extra mile, add a statement bag on top—then wear it all everywhere you go this winter.

      coat / pants / top / bag / boots

      7. A matching set and cozy sherpa jacket

      This jacket is the sherpa of our dreams, and we’ve been wearing ours everywhere from late-night runs to get wine to on the couch all day while we’re working. The leather detailing on it brings it up a notch from your average sherpa jacket and makes it worthy of wear all season long.

      Every Coat We Need to Discuss From “Emily in Paris”

      by

      OK, confession time: The plot of Emily in Paris wasn’t exactly my thing. I scoffed every time yet another perfect French man strolled into Emily’s life and rolled my eyes at her rapid Instagram growth with little effort. So what made me finish all 10 episodes in a mere weekend? Her clothes.Emily’s wardrobe is, in a word, perfection. It’s eclectic and fun and colorful and everything unexpected that we actually wanted this year. And my personal favorite part of all of it? Her coats and jackets. There is absolutely nothing that can steal the show like a fabulous jacket can, and Emily proved that in just about every scene in the show. I didn’t know I needed a metallic green jacket, but hell, I guess she showed me that I do now.
      Sit back, enjoy the show, and leave the frantic Googling to us—these are the closest dupes on the Internet to Emily Cooper’s swoon-worthy coat collection (all at price’s that are a lot less than her Chanel habits). 

      1.

      Of course Emily was on the shacket trend before anyone else. This red, plaid one is perfect to cozy up in for the holiday season.

      2.

      A classic blush coat is something you’ll never regret having. For extra Emily points, pair it with something bright underneath.

      3.

      Never did I think I’d want something turquoise in my wardrobe in 2020 (the same exact color as my senior year homecoming dress), but leave it to Emily to show us how fun and different it can be.

      4.

      One of Emily’s more classic looks, this plaid blazer pairs well with just about everything—and the beret to top it off is icing on the cake.

      5.

      This coat was, arguably, my favorite of the entire season and made me want to toss my black coats out the window immediately. If you ever needed inspiration to have fun with your outerwear, this is it.

      6.

      Mindy’s chic python blazer dress steals the show here, but we also can’t deny how fabulous this metallic, emerald look is either (again, who would’ve thought?). You can’t go wrong with either of these for a go-to for a statement look.

      7.

      Can you imagine walking into a Christmas party in this? Enough said.

      8.

      When Emily walked on-screen in this coat, I stopped what I was doing and searched “green coat” on every site I could think of. While this Chanel one is a liiiiiittle out of budget, you can get a similar look with these:

      9.

      This slouchy, black denim number captures that effortless Parisian vibe with little-to-no effort.

      10.

      A leather blazer was already on our 2020 wish list, and this solidified it near the top of the spot. Mindy also looks incredible in this out-of-the-box number, proving how fabulous bright patterns can be.

      11.

      Of all the blazers I’ve seen frequently, a classic red one isn’t on that last, and after seeing this one, I can’t figure out why that is. Wear it for the holiday season and beyond by pairing it with all your neutral pieces (or if you want to channel Emily even more, with something bright).

      12.

      While the leather beret is an obvious talking point here, this mid-toned green jacket checks a box that few other things can: it somehow is both classic and fun.
