Rachel Berry Costume | How to Create One

For those Gleeks out there, you know very well how Rachel Berry’s style evolved from nerdy to sexy. And this is supposed to be part of her maturity process as a Broadway star. This article does not touch on Rachel Berry’s sexy style in New York. Instead, we go back to her high school days when the cool kids made fun of her and throw slushie in her face.

So in two words, how do we define Rachel Berry’s fashion? Preppy nerdy. And to have a better understanding of it, take a look at this picture of her. After the picture, it's time to dissect Rachel's style and clothing choices.

When she’s not wearing a cardigan, Rachel can be seen in a baby blouse with prints. These prints take the form of animals, shapes (such as hearts), or have the Argylle style.

She also loves bright colors, plaid, and nerdy tops. On some days, she can be seen with layers --  like a white long sleeves topped with wool sweater.

Occasionally, she wears a dress, but this does not show any of her sexy side. They're plain, geeky,  and though they sometimes have prints on them, they're boring when she wears them. 

Rachel is fond of wearing mini skirts. But unlike cheerleaders, she wears these skirts longer than the usual mini skirts. So the best terms to describe Rachel’s lower garments are the following: a skort or a junior-long school uniform skirt.

As for the style and colors, sometimes, you can see her in tartan or plaid. But most of the time, these skorts bear a plain and boring color such as all-brown or grey. They can be pleated, but you can’t say “stylish” with these pleats.

Rachel loves to wear socks that goes all the way up to the knees. These socks may be plain white, or they may have some designs that are not friendly to the eyes. As for the shoes, she loves to wear flats with a strap. If you’re looking for a Rachel Berry footwear, decide on black or brown, but not colored ones.
