How Many of These Carrie Bradshaw Outfits Would You Wear Today?

It’s easy to look at Carrie Bradshaw’s style and place it distinctly in the past—like her Christian Dior newspaper dress plucked from the spring 2000 collection or the Fendi Baguette, a style debuted in 1997. But for many Sex and the City fans, the freelance journalist’s style is timeless, likely because it was distinctly her.

Her closet didn’t adhere strictly to of-the-moment trends. She didn’t care if she was overdressed, scantily clad, impractical, or even bordering on costumey. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that her looks still translate to 2017. Ahead, take a trip down memory lane with Bradshaw outfits, and let us know which ones you’d still wear.
