How to Dress like Monica Geller from Friends
Ah, Friends. The 10 season sitcom many of us know and love following six people living in New York City in their mid-20s to mid-30s. There’s something special about the shows that bring us laughs, inspiration and a little bit of understanding especially in that period of our lives, you know?
One thing I love about shows from the 90s to early 2000s is the style of the characters. Especially considering how much inspiration we pull nowadays to incorporate into our own personal styles. So, without further ado, let’s look at some of Monica’s outfits from the show and how to recreate them.
She could truly pull off anything. *Happy tears*
A monochrome fit really does it for me, y’all. It can bring a sense of elegance to even the most casual pieces of clothing. This turtleneck dress and cardigan combination is a great option as we head into the warmer temperatures of Spring.

A vest moment? OKAYYY. If you’re wearing a vest like this, you’re automatically a cool girl. No question. I mean, just look at the way she’s walking in this photo!

Whether you are wearing a matching set, or incorporating one piece into an outfit, pinstripes can be a really fun way to switch things up for a service at church, day in the office, or night out with friends.

A cardigan and jeans combo feels like the ultimate outfit formula for those months between true Winter and Spring. You can layer on a jacket or scarf in the morning when things are still a bit chilly, and push up your sleeves during peak sunshine hours.

When I tell you I scoured the internet for a jacket similar to this, I mean it. How freaking cool is it?!
Sadly, the jacket is nowhere to be found. But, the combination of these four pieces is the next best thing.

A moment for the dress, ladies. A moment for the dress.

This outfit is giving “soccer mom at the farmers market who’s picking up strawberries for this weekend's home game”. I love everything about how simple it is. Pair an oversized button down with jeans and a classic white sneaker, and you’re good to go!

She has so many amazing outfits to pull inspiration from, and these are just a few! If Monica’s outfits are getting your gears turning about your own personal style, remember that your personal style is an ever-evolving thing. Try new things and have some fun!
This may even just be a good excuse to tune into a little light-hearted TV on your next low-key Saturday.
Enjoy your weekend!
