A His & Hers Guide: How to Recreate the Outfits From 'Nobody Wants This'

Ever since the hit Netflix series Nobody Wants This premiered last year, we’ve been obsessed. A fresh take on the typical rom-com, the series’ honest depiction of love has captured the hearts of audiences. But it isn’t just Kristen Bell’s quick wit, or Adam Brody’s charm, or even the romance that kept us hooked.

Kristen Bell’s character Joanne has a wardrobe to die for! Full of character and tailored to perfection, we can’t help but be mesmerised by her flawless fashion sense. Adam Brody, on the other hand, has a ruggedly handsome look that makes his character, Noah, all the more unique.

Despite Noah and Joanne’s differences, their wardrobes compliment each other just as well as their personalities, making them pop on screen.

In honour of the second season’s premiere, we’ve created this guide to show you exactly how to recreate the outfits from Nobody Wants This, so you can build your own rom-com worthy wardrobe.


How to Recreate Joanne's Outfits From 'Nobody Wants This'


Joanne’s character is audacious, fearless, and she’s never afraid to stand out. Her clothes have that same confidence. She gravitates towards bright, poppy colours and pastels, and she experiments with different shades, shapes, and vibes to fit the mood of each scene. 


According to the series’ creator, Erin Foster, the inspiration for Joanne’s look came from style icons like Alexa Chung, who can switch effortlessly from corporate chic to rock & roll. When Joanne is pitching her podcast to investors, she’s dressed to impress in sleek business suits and heels, but in those softer romance scenes, she opts for casual knits and jeans. 


The key to becoming a “style-chameleon” like Joanne is to select a few perfectly tailored capsule pieces that you can style to match any moment. 


Here are some of our favourite Joanne outfit ideas:

A Striking Co-Ord

One of the most memorable outfits in the series is Joanne’s fabulous matching cardigan and skirt set from the very first episode. With its eye-catching red shade, the ensemble was designed to set her apart, and it certainly didn’t fail to make an impression.

The best part about this look is how easy it is to recreate. We have a selection of gorgeous red jumpers and cardigans in our new collection, so pick your favourite and pair it with a matching maxi skirt.

Joanne wears a body-con skirt that complements her curves, so pick a similar style to get that sleek silhouette. 

Cause a Scene in a Blue Dress

The bat mitzvah has to be one of the most memorable scenes in the show, and Joanne’s ensemble meets that moment perfectly.

In a jaw-dropping blue shade, the sleeveless dress isn’t just a fresh and cool party outfit;  it’s a fearless expression of personal style, and it couldn’t be more fitting for the moment Joanne decides to be unapologetically herself.

You can recreate this outfit with your own bold blue gown. Choose a shade that makes a statement, whether that’s the same baby blue that Kristin Bell flaunts or a deep electric blue.

Add a blazer for a touch of elegance, and you’ll have a look that makes an impact at every winter event.

Chic Comfort: A Fair Isle Jumper & White Jeans

During her more quiet, intimate moments with Noah, Joanne takes on a softer, laid-back look. We fell in love with these outfits as they’re chic, casual and oh-so-easy to style.

Our favourite has to be the fair isle jumper and white jeans combination she wears in episode 7. Jeans are, of course, the ultimate everyday trouser and they look great on everybody - but the trick is in the fit.

From skinny jeans to flares, choose a pair that fits just right and you’ve got the foundation for an effortlessly fabulous casual style.

Fair isle jumpers add heritage charm to your winter looks, whilst keeping you cosy all season. Whilst Joanne looks remarkable in cream & beige, there are so many beautiful colour combinations that’ll achieve that casually cool aesthetic.

 

Faux Fur For a Dramatic Entrance

In the meet-cute moment that sparks Joanne and Noah’s romance, she breezes into the scene, fashionably late and donning an incredible faux fur coat over a sleek black ensemble.

To recreate this show-stopping outfit, first, pair some black jeans with an elegant lace top. Then, style it with a gorgeous faux fur coat in a standout colour, like red or gold, for a vintage-inspired look that’s sure to turn heads.

Don’t forget to add a pair of slim heels - and a bottle of your favourite wine - to complete your effortlessly glamorous style.


How to Recreate Noah's Outfits in 'Nobody Wants This'


Noah’s wardrobe is the perfect counterbalance to Joanne’s audacious style. Whilst Joanne dresses to disrupt the ordinary, Noah has an understated and thoughtful look that can be styled for any occasion.

This character’s wardrobe features earthy, muted tones, relaxed tailored pieces, and textured knits. It may seem like an easy look to imitate, but finding this balance between smart and casual can be a challenge.

Here are some outfit ideas to help you recreate Noah’s minimal looks.

Layer a Plaid Shirt with a Statement Jacket

Out of all his Nobody Wants This looks, there’s one piece that caught everybody’s eye. Noah wears a brown canvas jacket in some of the most pivotal scenes of the series, and it’s the perfect signature style for this charming rabbi.

Make this outfit your own by choosing a statement brown jacket and layering it over a relaxed plaid shirt for a softly structured style.

Go Informal with a Knit & a Blazer

No matter the occasion, Noah chooses clothes to match his personality. That’s why, when the event calls for a more formal dress code, he leans towards smart casual. Borrow Noah’s laidback formal style for your winter occasions by putting a cosy knitted jumper over your shirt, then layering the look with a sharp blazer.

Complete the look with chinos or jeans to create an outfit that’s both easy-going and confident.

Hoodies & Shorts for Casual Days

It’s in one of the pared back scenes of the series that we finally see our leading man swap his everyday “rabbi uniform” for a cosy evening-in ensemble.

The ultimate outfit for movie nights and prego dates, you can easily recreate it by wearing your favourite hoodie or sweatshirt with a pair of comfy shorts. 

Whether your style is lively and loud or softly structured, you can recreate the magic by stealing your style from our favourite on-screen couple. This could even make a remarkable halloween costume!
