Every Outfit Rachel Ever Wore On 'Friends', Ranked From Best To Worst: Season 5
Season 5 of Friends for Rachel was all about simplicity. She had a few sexy looks, but overall, she was bringing it with pared back, Parisian-style chic. But that's just the good. The bad was, well... very 1998.

I want to take a pair of scissors to those sleeves. As in an extra pair of scissors because I think one has already been taken to them.

What is that belt? Rachel looks like she just finished up her shift at Coyote Ugly.

Season 5, Episode 20
I bet those cargo pants have at least sixteen pockets and one section that zips off entirely.

Season 5, Episode 12
Pointy boots, bootleg polyester pants and a ballet wrap top. I’m so glad this moment in time is past us.

Season 5, Episode 20
This is the season of terrible footwear. Those loafers look prescription level corrective.

Season 5, Episode 14
I swear I had a shirt like this when I was thirteen BECAUSE OF THIS EXACT SHIRT. You’re a role model, Rachel, act like one.

Season 5, Episode 17
There’s that sack jacket again. This time paired with an ugly olive green suit.

Season 5, Episode 7
I had a pair of weird eggplant colored sort of metallic pants like this too, and I’m really glad I no longer have them.

Season 5, Episode 8
I normally LOVE ’80s Rachel, but the shoulders on this sweater are too much!

Season 5, Episode 12
I think she was just bumming around in the morning, but still, we’ve seen better.

Season 5, Episode 17
THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH. The skirt is divine but the outfit loses at least eleventy billion points for that short sleeve shirt with flowers drawn on it.

Season 5, Episode 15
At this point, I feel like Rachel deserved to get punched by that tiny woman.

Season 5, Episode 5
This looks like something my mom wore in the ’80s, not something Rachel should be wearing on Friends.

Season 5, Episode 23
Again, plane chic. She looks better than I’d ever look while travelling.

Season 5, Episode 1
This is a better plane outfit than she went to London in, but it’s still boring.

Season 5, Episode 15
If “inoffensive” is the best someone can think to say about your outfit, you might want to change it up.

Season 5, Episode 9
It’s a cat burglar look that would would benefit from better fitting pants, but it still works.

Season 5, Episode 18
This is Matrix meets Upper East Side and I kind of think it’s not that bad.

Season 5, Episode 13
It’s not the most exciting outfit, but as we’ve discussed, Rachel does tights and a mini well.
Image: NBC
Season 5, Episode 17
Rachel is the only person I’ve ever seen wearing this neckline that makes it look flattering.

Season 5, Episode 23
This robe looks comfy and cute but more to the point that’s the best lazy girl hair I’ve ever seen.

“What should I wear, the little grey dress, the little grey dress, OR the little grey dress?”
Image: NBC
Season 5, Episode 9
That’s a hard neckline to pull off, but Rachel wears it well. Obviously.

Season 5, Episode 2
I have to say, Rachel’s collection of perfect, fitted grey dresses this season is astounding.
Image: NBC
Season 5, Episode 6
Oh Rachel, if only we could all pull off a fitted midi dress the way you do.

Season 5, Episode 7
I LOVE THIS T-SHIRT DRESS. WANT. (Note to Zara: please reproduce exactly for summer line).

Season 5, Episode 19
Sometimes, simple is best, and this baseball t-shirt and jeans is a great look.
Image: NBC
Season 5, Episode 2
This isn’t just my favorite look of the season, it’s one of my favorite Rachel looks EVER. Man, if I could have gone on every single date looking like this I’m sure I wouldn’t have been single for four years.
