6 ways to steal Jennifer Aniston's style
1. The skinny jean
Jennifer Aniston has been known to wear the best skinny jeans like Levi's 501 along with pairs by Rag & Bone. One thing is for sure, she loves a skinny fit. Denim trends change each season so make like Jen and find a style that suits your shape, and stick to it.
Although straight leg pairs, flared and mom-fit iterations have been popular, Jennifer Aniston knows a more fitted pair will work with her existing wardrobe all year round. If it isn't broke, don't fix it—hey, Jen?

2. The midi dress
Wearing a Proenza Schouler dress and completing the look with a classic Chanel bag, the midi style is the universally flattering frock everyone can rely on. The only thing to keep consistent is the length—in-between the knee length and the maxi, the midi should hit somewhere on your calf and a floaty fabric is easiest to wear (and walk in).
