I had so many big plans for 2018—until I found out Friends is on Netflix. And now my biggest achievement to date in 2018 has been watching two seasons in two weeks. While rewatching the early
episodes of the show, I noticed some things that were more striking when seen through a 2018 lens—mainly that Monica is working in a diner while living in an apartment that’s a relative palace in
NYC. Rachel Green might have been the style icon at the time, but this rewatch, it was Monica Geller’s wardrobe I was really into.
Monica’s main fashion moment in the show was when she spent hundreds of dollars on boots that ripped her feet to shreds. Although, throughout the show, she actually makes a number of sensible style choices. Thanks to Monica, I’m into normcore all over again—just see how chic she makes wearing jeans and a white T-shirt look. She’s so committed to her straight-leg jeans that she even wears them to a tap class. Keep scrolling to see the Monica outfits that are worth re-creating in 2018.
