I always wanted Rachel Green's wardrobe. Not only does it possess that ‘90s comeback style, but it encapsulates hot-ticket fashion items, such as sleek blazers, baby tees, and slip dresses. So when I heard that the actress behind the fashionista, Jennifer Aniston, snagged a few pieces from the Friends set, I was all ears.
In an interview with WSJ Magazine, Aniston shared that she took two costumes from her time on Friends: a floral dress that belonged to Monica Geller (aka Courteney Cox) and a pair of red loafers. Even though the sitcom aired 29 years ago, the latter is still in rotation — and I found seven styles to steal the star’s look, starting at $39.
The preppy shoe’s consistent popularity is surely linked to the style’s easy-to-wear silhouette. Much like these Franco Sarto Gabriella Loafers that feature a squared-off toe, the sensible block heel and structured upper provide a secure and comfortable fit. The outcome? A sleek and versatile shoe that can be seamlessly worn just about everywhere.

I’m no mind reader, but I can bet my money that another reason Aniston snagged Green’s red loafers was because of their fall-appropriate allure. Every autumn, loafers return like clockwork, with big names, such as Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid leading the charge. The red wine color found on these Coach Jess Chain Loafers also doesn’t hurt, reminding me of candy apples and cinnamon spice. The mocassin-styled build and chunky chain ornament only increase the style’s appeal.

Sure, red loafers may scream fall, but don’t be fooled. They can also be repurposed year round, crafting a multi-seasonal shoe that can be worn time and time and again. These Madewell Lacey Ballet Loafers can be worn during the cooler months with tube socks like Hailey Bieber or without during the warmer times of the year. No matter when you choose to rock them, you’ll unlock all of the Rachel Green vibes, including a chic round toe, low heel, and classy, slim fit.
