Dress Like America's Sweetheart This Summer

Her days of portraying the lovably laid-back and fashion-forward Rachel on Friends may be past, but Jennifer Aniston is far from yesterday's news. In addition to producing inarguably comical films each year, the star and her lustrous locks now co-own the haircare company Living Proof, which guarantees consumers a gorgeous, Aniston-esque mane. This is to say nothing of Aniston's recent partnership with Aveeno, giving the already-lauded brand new life.

However, when Aniston's adoring public thinks of her, it is her warm, benevolent attitude, and laid-back vibe which makes her seem as if she may just be the girl next-door, albeit one with incredibly enviable hair. This relaxed elegance extends from Aniston's temperament to her wardrobe, which on any given day achieves an effortless urbanity which looks utterly modern. In addition to her signature jeans and triple-wrapped scarves, Aniston has an unabashed obsession with shades of black and navy, which somehow pop against her beachy locks and perma-glowing skin. Whilst attending a fiancé Justin Theroux's premiere of HBO series The Leftovers, Aniston again demonstrated her ability to take a simple ensemble and turn it into something extraordinary. Read on for five pieces you'll need to channel her refined look.

1. BLACK SILK BUTTON-DOWN

Aniston knows the power of a perfectly fitted silk shirt, sleeves casually rolled up for a more laid-back vibe. Try Equipment's Brett True Black Shirt for a similar look. Equipment's shirts have a naturally relaxed fit, which perfectly balances the elegance of their silk constitution.

2. BLACK MINI SKIRT

Aniston's black mini skirt has a touch of flounce thanks to its bubble silhouette. If a voluminous shape is simply too fussy for you, try A.L.C.'s Arizona Silk Short Skirt for a more athletic-chic look.

3. EMBELLISHED POINTY-TOE HEELS

With a darky-colored ensemble, it pays to have at least one eye-popping component; in Aniston's case, it's her studded black sling backs. Via Spiga's Flo Heels channel the look without the exorbitant price tag.

4. GOLD MENSWEAR-INSPIRED WATCH

Aniston's omnipresent menswear-style watch is the very definition of a timeless style signature: classic, glamorous, and just shy of ostentatious. Nixon's Sentry Bracelet Watch offers a similar look.

5. A BIT OF HAIR CARE MAGIC

If you don't happen to have Jennifer Aniston's mane man Chris McMillan on speed dial, try Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream for a look that's even more chic than The Rachel.
