Channeling Your Inner Carrie Bradshaw
Sex and The City has continued to stay relevant through generations, helping women of all ages navigate everything from relationships, friendships, jobs, and of course, fashion. Even though spring cleaning can be time consuming, the best part is refilling your closet with new and timeless outfits. Let's look at some of the most iconic outfits from our favorite group of girls and how 20-something-year-olds can recreate them, and affordably!
Samantha Jones taught us how to express ourselves through independence and to never let anyone get in the way of what you want. Her fashion choices on the show were daring, colorful and sexy.
For a summer night, incorporating one of Samantha’s timeless V-neck dresses in the way to go. This light blue sequin mini dress from Shecute is the perfect modern take on Samantha’s dress for any fun occasion!
Charlotte's optimistic and preppy attitude allowed us to see the good in any situation, and she always looked amazing while doing it.
Grab any neutral color vest top, like this fabulous option from Princess Polly and pair with your favorite black mini skirt.
Even though Miranda wasn’t known as the most stylish on the show, she did teach young girls everywhere that you can have it all - a family and the career you deserve. However, every once and a while would pull out all the stops for a night out with the girls.
This outfit is the perfect combination of classy and timeless. You can find a green tank anywhere, however if you don’t love the neckline you can easily opt for a high neck satin tank. And, if you are in need of a classic denim skirt, Hollister has a great selection for very reasonable prices!
Last but certainly not least, Carrie. There are too many choices to choose from when it comes to recreating her fashion choices from the show. From the iconic tutu, the cowboy hat and the LBD we still can’t stop thinking about. However, for this article we wanted to take this recreation with a challenge, so we’re going to show you how you can recreate the unforgettable green belt around the waist paired with a cropped, pink collared shirt.
Though we love this Carrie-coded outfit, it is definitely not the most practical and a bit outdated. However, to pull together these greens a pinks while still channeling our Carrie, we suggest this SKIMS light pink long sleeve that is a great alternative to the cropped button up. Now for the skirt, the safest bet is a simple, plain long light green skirt.
We hope you have enjoyed the trip down memory lane, and that we've inspired you to take some fashion advice from the best girls we know. Or, at least rewatch the show for the millionth time, like us. Tag us @theedge in your S&TC looks of your own!
