About Carrie
Whether Samantha’s bold confidence and attraction, Miranda’s practical beauty, or Charlotte’s striking charm, there’s no denying the magnetic appeal of Carrie Bradshaw’s style as ideal New York fashionista. Carrie’s dream wardrobe inspired viewers, which falls under the unique category that I like to call: ״vintage haute couture.״ From her iconic tutu dress, unexpected accessories, to her love of Manolo Blahnik shoes, Bradshaw was the perfect example of her fearlessness to express herself through fashion. Join us as we explore Carrie’s world and discover how you can incorporate her unique fashion style into your wardrobe.
Get the look of Carrie Bradshaw with 5 simple rules:
We know. Trying to mimic Carrie’s style may be a difficult challenge. That’s why we created the 5 rules to help you think like Carrie when looking for what to wear.
1. Embrace unexpected pairings to dress like Carrie.
Mix and match unexpected pieces to create a fashion forward ensemble reminiscent of Carrie’s style. Pair a vintage graphic tee with a tulle skirt or layer a structured blazer over a sophisticated dress for a playful yet elegant look.
2. Statement accessories.
Follow Carrie in her love of statement accessories by adding bold pieces to your outfit. Try oversized sunglasses, statement necklaces and jewelry to add some glamor and personality to your look.
3. Play with textures.
Experiment with prints and textures to capture her stylish aesthetic. Mix floral prints and stripes, opt for layered details like lace and sequins, or bold patterns like animal prints to add interest and texture to your outfit.
4. Invest in shoes (not like Carrie?).
Ok, I feel like this rule we can actually break, because this kind of investment can be very expensive, and I am not sure I agree with that. However, no Bradshaw-inspired look is complete without a pair of statement shoes. Invest in classic yet eye-catching shoes like strappy sandals, colorful pumps, or iconic Manolo Blahnik heels to elevate your outfit. With desire and patience, you can find equally good options in brand second-hand stores (if brands are what your’e into). I know this is an integral part of what’s special about Carrie, but my personal opinion is that we shouldn’t spend a lot of money on clothes.
5. Wear your CONFIDENCE like Carrie.
Above all, tap into Carrie’s confidence and fearless style when creating your outfit. Have a unique sense of style, embrace your expression, and enjoy experimenting with different looks and trends to create styles that reflect your individuality and personality.
Now is your time to activate your imagination, and create special and striking looks that will make you feel like the main character in the series about your life.
