Every Outfit Rachel Ever Wore On 'Friends', Ranked From Best To Worst: Season 2

This horrible half-sweater turtle neck thing makes 20-something Rachel look like a middle-ages soccer mom.

Image: NBC

We’ve all been here. Laundry day. Sweats and your “nice” coat. Never a good look.

Image: NBC

Love the lamp, hate the top.

Image: NBC

You know what I said about leopard print before? It’s true, but doesn’t apply to vests. All vests should be burned.

Image: NBC

You can’t see Rachel’s full outfit in this scene but I can see the silver toggles on that tacky vest.

Image: NBC

BORING. Especially when the guy you like is with someone else. Some effort, Rachel!

Image: NBC

Shorts = bad.

Image: NBC

This top is ill-fitting, and the sweater around the waist doesn’t quite suit the formality of the outfit. And then there’s that French twist up-do.

Image: NBC

Next to Phoebe’s rad purple jacket and Monica’s denim overalls, Rachel suffers.

Image: NBC

I swear to God, my dad had that exact sweater in the ’90s.

Image: NBC

There it is again. That poop colored suede jacket.

Image: NBC

This is Rachel’s ”Seinfeld” look.

Image: NBC

Same top as earlier, different color, just as offensive.

Image: NBC

I don’t know why that top is tucked it when it has absolutely no business being that way.

Image: NBC

BOOTLEG JEANS! Remember those? Or have you willfully erased those from your memory?

Image: NBC

Snooze.

Image: NBC

I mean, she picked up Jean Claude Van Dam in this outfit, so it might not be as horrible as I think it is.

Image: NBC

In which Rachel reveals she’s Neo from The Matrix.

Image: NBC

This dowdy shirt really needs a bra.

Image: NBC

When I was 12, I nearly exclusively wore velour tops.

Image: NBC

A velvet top with a sarong, to most, is a weird combination. To Rachel, it’s just another party outfit.

Image: NBC

Even with the velvet gone, the sarong is still weird.

Image: NBC

It’s not the worst, but it’s not the best either. Somethings just are what they are.

Image: NBC

I don’t like turtle necks to begin with, but turtle necks with fine jewelry on top are my nightmare. Hello, Rachel Soprano.

Image: NBC

The brown drives me insane.

Image: NBC

I’m not the biggest fan of v-neck tees. Rachel looks cute in them mostly, I guess.

Image: NBC

I didn’t mind this until I noticed the braided belt.

Image: NBC

This body-stocking style shirt is weirdly frumpy.

Image: NBC

All this shirt needs to be cute is a smaller collar and a few more buttons.

Image: NBC

Lace cardigans are a ’90s remnant I’m glad haven’t made a comeback.

Image: NBC

That metallic green fabric with a purple tint is so… ’80s prom.

Image: NBC

This would be perfect if it wasn’t for the write writing on the top. WHY?

Image: NBC

Not one of Rachel’s best casual outfits, but we forgive her because Ross had just been a huge jerk.

Image: NBC

This is cute enough, but a little bit too on the school girl side for my taste.

Image: NBC

Rachel looks glowing here but that motif on the front of her shirt reminds me or something a 13-year-old girl would have worn in 1994.

Image: NBC

It is what it is.

Image: NBC

This outfit is low on the scale because I’m not a fan of lace, but I can accept you might disagree with its place on the list.

Image: NBC

This overalls look is cute but unfortunately verging on chuck territory.

Image: NBC

Saved by the apron!

Image: NBC

The first time you kiss the love of your life you might want to be wearing something a bit more thought-out than a black v-neck tee.

Image: NBC

Rachel has three modes: Sexy or adorable, boring, and try again. This is of the boring variety.

Image: NBC

I like everything about this little cardigan except the boob pockets.

Image: NBC

Against my better judgement, I kind of like this hideous jacket. She’s pulling off this look, that’s for sure.

Image: NBC

There’s nothing offensive about this outfit, but nothing particularly exciting about it.

Image: NBC

This satin-patterned scoop neck dress is very ’90s, but acceptably cute.

Image: NBC

This metallic skirt is adorable, and would be much higher on the list if the fabric wasn’t so crinkled.

Image: NBC

Great sneakers, Rachel.

Image: NBC

A boring top, but PLAID PANTS pull this one over the line.

Image: NBC

If her boobs were bigger this would look milk-maidy, but she manages to pull it off.

Image: NBC

Denim overalls and a stripe tee? Very S/S 2015.

Image: NBC

She can’t go wrong in a mini-skirt and tights.

Image: NBC

Seriously though, who looks this cute hungover?

Image: NBC

SHE DID IT BEFORE BEYONCE.

Image: NBC

Rachel wears plaid bottoms like most of us dream we could wear even jeans.

Image: NBC

It’s some kind of science fact that women look great naked, wearing only their boyfriend’s sweater. Rachel is no exception, even though her boyfriend here is Ross.

Image: NBC

There’s that lovely Cheongsam again!

Image: NBC

The diner waitress look in pink.

Image: NBC

Another one of Rachel’s cutest and most recognizable lounge outfits.

Image: NBC

Rachel definitely pulls off a “My daddy has a house in the Hampton’s look” in this patterned dress.

Image: NBC

Remember when “Asian” was a style and no-one worried about it? Rachel’s Cheongsam top looks great, and even more so that her outfit matches her mothers.

Image: NBC

Even at work Rachel looked cute. Note: cute aprons still holding it together.

Image: NBC

There’s something about this weird suede skirt with cut-outs around the waist that I find irresistible.

Image: NBC

This outfit is very “yoga instructor” but the tight cropped top and wide legged pants give Rachel’s body a lovely shape. Sorry, that’s a pervy thing to say, but there it is.

Image: NBC

Another awesome casual sweater from Rachel.

Image: NBC

This outfit isn’t higher only because she’s wearing it with knee-high socks, but mini overall dresses are so hot right now.

Image: NBC

One of Rachel’s best lounge outfits is this plaid pants and “Girls” t-shirt. Want to recreate.

Image: NBC

Rachel always kills it in red.

Image: NBC

Again, summer in Brooklyn, right?

Image: NBC

I know you think this dress looks stupid but you also know Rachel was the best dressed girl at prom so…

Image: NBC

In theory, this sweater is probably hideous, but in practice, it’s the cutest thing ever. This sweater is the opposite of communism.

Image: NBC

I mean, she could be any cute waitress in Williamsburg today, right?

Image: NBC

One of my favorite necklines is this shoulder cut-out halter style, and Rachel’s dress for Carol and Susan’s wedding is just perfect.

Image: NBC

Simple black with floral, it’s a relief to see Season 2 Rachel in more flattering silhouettes.

Image: NBC

Rachel went through a brief “truck stop diner waitress” phase in Season 2 and it was divine…

Image: NBC

… She basically wore the hell out of name-tag shirts.

Image: NBC

This top is kind of strange but I love it. It looks like something Opening Ceremony would sell these days for $800.

Image: NBC

As Caitlin Moran says, “leopard print is a neutral.” Would wear 100%.

Image: NBC

This outfit makes me want to start some kind of petition to bring back those USA sweaters.

Image: NBC

Well you wouldn’t go out of your way to wear it, but is there a more memorable Rachel outfit? Her bridesmaids dress for her ex-fiance and ex-best friend’s wedding is one of Rachel’s most hilarious/wonderful/endearing fashion moments, so I’m giving it number one place.
