7 Iconic Things Carrie Bradshaw Always Wore in the Summer

Carrie Bradshaw was the queen of summer. Not that her style ever dipped in other seasons, but there was always something about her summertime wardrobe that just hit differently. Known for her skin-baring looks and wild accessories, there is so much to unpack when it comes to this fashion icon's seasonal style, and since summer is right around the corner, there's no better time than the present to absorb all the SATC inspiration we can get. Considering the fact that even after all these years, we are still talking about and idolizing Carrie's style, it's safe to say that treating yourself to a few of her summer staples below is a pretty good idea. 

We went through some of the most iconic Carrie Bradshaw outfits that appeared on Sex and the City and were able to narrow it down to a solid seven that always bring back a sweet sense of nostalgia. Ahead, discover some of the timeless staples Carrie coined as summer must-haves, and shop our favorite iterations of each. 

We're pretty sure Carrie Bradshaw invented the naked shoe, and this iconic scene from the show is one of our favorite ways she styled the trend—simply, with a crisp white summer dress and a statement bag. 
If you don't remember exactly what Carrie is looking at in this scene, you aren't a true fan. But I digress. This summer-in-the-Hamptons getup was on-theme, yes, but if we're being honest, it was something Carrie would have worn around the city without a second thought. The star here, however, is the tube top. Carrie was rarely seen without one on a hot summer day.
Some of us might cringe at the thought of wearing a body-con dress, but Carrie was the queen of styling them to look beyond chic. With a simple sandal and a classic bag, these little dresses instantly looked so expensive.
Carrie loved an accessory moment, but in the summer, she frequented the headscarf. This is the perfect piece to throw on to add some edge to every kind of look from the pool to brunch. 
Whether sneaking into Soho House or lying on the beach in the Hamptons, Carrie was often spotted wearing a classic underwire bikini. The style is still just as popular as it was back then, so get to shopping. 
Carrie was always about prints, prints, and more prints, but particularly in the summer. She was known for scoring cheap vintage dresses to match her designer shoes, and most of the time, they had short hemlines and loud prints. 
Last but not least, short shorts, or as some of us like to call them, hot pants. Carrie was always experimenting with odd pant lengths from pedal pushers to these mini shorts. In case you feel like trying the trend for yourself, we shopped out the chicest pairs on the internet.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
