Every Outfit Rachel Ever Wore On 'Friends', Ranked From Best To Worst: Season 7

Rachel's style in Season 7 of Friends embodies classic, timeless style. The good stuff. The bad stuff can only really be described as decidedly 2000, which is the year the season came out. And as we know, the bad from 2000-2004 is '80s-worthy in terms of fashion abomination. Rachel's lucky Ralph Lauren kept her on payroll, that's all I'm saying. Here's every outfit Rachel wore in Season 7 of Friends, ranked from best to worst...

Season 7, Episode 18

How did Friends allow something this hideous to happen to Rachel?

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 21

I want to burn those sleeves.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 23

There’s nothing redeemable here. Not only that, I’m throwing up into my mouth a little.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 19

The Real Housewives of Central Perk.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 15

There is so much tacky Matrix going on with Rachel it makes me wish those movies were never made so I wouldn’t have any other point of reference for this horrible coat.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 7

The shirt would be cute but why is that hideously clashing t-shirt under it?

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 11

This is very “of the moment” early ’00s but not in a good way.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 5

Guys that’s a sleeveless wool knit turtle neck. Your eyes are not deceiving you!

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 11

This outfit actually hurts me physically.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 17

“Peasant” shirts were a scourge on fashion. Good riddance.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 15

In this outfit, Rachel really does look like someone who’s obsessed with day time TV.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 9

This is bizarre. Bizarre wrap, bizarre collar, bizarre length, bizarre sleeves. Bizarre.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 23

Stevie Nicks is the only woman on earth who has the right to wear bell sleeves.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 20

This has got a really weird ’70s vibe. I do not likey.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 20

This is the only wrap dress in the world Rachel couldn’t pull off.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 18

I’m not even sure where to start with this ugly ass thing…

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 11

Speaking of collars that are too big, this one is like an umbrella.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 7

Remember when tie dye went “corporate”. This is that.

Image: NBC

The bootleg on that pant is frightening.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 17

I don’t understand why there’s a leather belt tied around her neck. Weird Friends BDSM Easter Egg?

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 19

I love Rachel in a tube dress but this pattern is everything that’s wrong with the world.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 5

Mesh shirts. The calling card of early ’00s fashion villainy.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 3

DEATH TO BELL SLEEVES FOREVER.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 12

Purple was a big deal in the late ’90s-early ’00s but do you really want to be wearing a shirt that’s the same color as your apartment walls?

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 16

There’s something a little bit grandmotherly about this.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 2

Those are some of the most awful boots I’ve ever seen and paired with the cargos they’re making me sick.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 1

NO.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 22

I never thought I’d be offended by a collared t-shirt but there you go.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 3

This is exactly what daddy’s girl Rachel WOULD wear on a boat. Also Tommy Hilfiger seems like a betrayal of Ralph Lauren.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 13

It’s that okay shirt again but this time with an ugly coat and stupid boots.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 10

It’s a very ’70s season for Rachel, and not in the good American Hustle way.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 23

One of Rachel’s less attractive robes.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 20

I feel like this is what you wear if you work in a chain diner.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 6

Too medieval.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 6

The shirt was cute before but the leather dad jacket ruined it for everyone.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 20

If the shirt fit better… Fit’s not so much of a problem for Rachel any more, although this one is certainly a throwback to when it was!

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 4

Orange with khaki green cargo pants. What a strong look.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 16

Eh. Just eh.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 9

This isn’t so terrible, although I wish the collar wasn’t so Saturday Night Fever.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 7

In theory, this shirt is fine. The colors aren’t bad. It definitely suits her. But the pattern is a bit weird.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 12

It would be nice to look this cute all rugged up with another cutie, right?

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 3

Again, the hair is a great distraction from those ugly orange pants.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 10

Rachel is always cute in color.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 4

Simple and chic, but not mind-blowing.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 5

The bag and the hair distract from the average coat (in a good way).

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 14

This is meant to be Rachel “too depressed to try” on her 30th birthday but I still think she looks cute.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 7

As always, Rachel looking cute in a robe.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 14

This dress would have ranked much higher but FLIP FLOPS ARE NOT SHOES, RACHEL.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 18

It would be a sweet life to look this put together in a white top and blue jeans.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 7

It’s simple, inoffensive, and Rachel’s bob rocks.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 3

This boating look is about as cute as anyone ever looked boating.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 18

Even preparing for a night out, Rachel looks fabulous. AND THOSE EXPRESSIONS.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 4

Rachel got promoted at Ralph Lauren because she dressed for the job she wanted.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 10

This is like modern Mad Men and I love it.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 17

Rachel proving that black is the new black forever.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 8

This is how I imagined chic older me would dress when I was fifteen. Still hasn’t happened. I wear skirts with dinosaurs on them so…

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 8

She could be a spy in those clothes.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 24

So Monica probably chose them, but the bridesmaids dresses are pretty great.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 16

Probably the only acceptable use of tall boots under pants I’ve seen Rachel wear, and the grey fluffy sweater is ka-ute!

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 15

Mhysa.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 2

Mother of Wrap Dresses.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 18

Rachel is the Queen of the Wrap Dresses.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 23

Motion to go back in time and have Rachel wear more patterned dresses like this one.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 15

Knee-high boots are big on my no-no list unless they’re part of this outfit and Rachel is wearing them.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 1

I’ve always wanted to have the appropriately sized boobs to pull off strapless looks. Alas, we can’t all be Rachel.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 4

I normally don’t like that green color she wears but that pencil skirt and those pumps are DIVINE.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 6

Rachel wears plaid shirts how they were meant to be worn: unassumingly sexily.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 19

A rare splash of colorful pattern which is absolutely delightful.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 14

Rachel and formalwear are like pizza and mac and cheese. Both awesome on their own, but put them together and…

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 9

I want to know how that top is just staying teetering on the edges of her shoulders and not going anywhere. It looks incredible. I want to go to there.

Image: NBC

Season 7, Episode 18

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again: As a 30-year-old, I’m completely baffled at the amount of ball gowns this other 30-year-old seems to own. I mean, she looks incredible in them, obviously. But why?
