From the LBD to classic jeans—here's how to get the Jennifer Aniston capsule wardrobe
If you're a Friends fan, Jennifer Aniston's character Rachel Green would have been a fountain of outfit inspiration in the '90s and '00s. Even you're not a big fan of the show, chances are you would have still been lusting after her choppy bob.
Jen An is a longstanding icon in many ways, on and off-screen. But it's the off-duty looks we're most interested in right now. Proving to own one of the most simple, yet effortless wardrobes around.
Jennifer's carefully curated edit of capsule items that can be rotated to create new looks time and time again is one to take note of. From the dress style Jennifer Aniston swears by, to the best jeans she wears on repeat—these are the six key pieces you can try out to be a bit more Jen. Could she be any more stylish?
6 ways to steal Jennifer Aniston's style
1. The skinny jean
Jennifer Aniston has been known to wear the best skinny jeans like Levi's 501 along with pairs by Rag & Bone. One thing is for sure, she loves a skinny fit. Denim trends change each season so make like Jen and find a style that suits your shape, and stick to it.
Although straight leg pairs, flared and mom-fit iterations have been popular, Jennifer Aniston knows a more fitted pair will work with her existing wardrobe all year round. If it isn't broke, don't fix it—hey, Jen? (if you're looking for some more inspiration on styling jeans, check out our guides on how to style straight leg jeans, skinny vs straight jeans, and boyfriend jeans vs mom jeans).

2. The midi dress
Wearing a Proenza Schouler dress and completing the look with a classic Chanel bag, the midi style is the universally flattering frock everyone can rely on. The only thing to keep consistent is the length—in-between the knee length and the maxi, the midi should hit somewhere on your calf and a floaty fabric is easiest to wear (and walk in).
Channel Jen—but make it winter-appropriate—by teaming a floral midi dress with chunky stomper boots and a teddy coat.

3. The tailored coat
Finding the best winter coat can be tricky, but if you follow in Jennifer Aniston's fashionable footsteps, you can't go wrong. Think timeless, classic, and fuss-free. It's all about going for a tailored style in a neutral hue like beige, camel, brown, or black.
The longer the length the cozier it'll be—opt for a wool or alpaca-blend style and belt up if you want to amp up the snug factor even further.
