How to Look Like Carrie From Sex and the City

Since "Sex and the City" centered around the life and loves of colorful columnist, Carrie Bradshaw, it's no wonder that Carrie was the most fashion-forward of her female friends. With a combination of vintage, high street and haute couture, Carrie's wardrobe captivated audiences and opened them up to a whole new world of creative possibilities fit for a modern-day fashion fairy tale.

Instructions

1. Mix and match prints, patterns and fabrics. The layered and eclectic look is the hallmark of Carrie's style. She wasn't afraid to pair a top and bottom in completely different prints or fabrics; however, she'd always ensure they were in complementary colors.

2. Show off your calves. Legs are to Carrie as cleavage is to her pal, Samantha. Carrie liked to show off her muscular legs with above-the-knee skirts and dresses, and of course, stiletto heels.

3. Step out in stilettos. Throughout her many love affairs on "Sex and the City," the one that never disappointed Carrie was her love affair with shoes. Particularly Manolo Blahniks and other designer heels such as the Dior Extreme shoes she sported several times in the "Sex and the City" film.

4. Think "Flashdance" when it comes to your casual look. Although Carrie often opted for high glamour, she could also mix in some comfort with stretchy cotton fabrics such as oversized, off-the-shoulder shirts in grey. However, she'd still round off her look with stilettos.

5. Style your hair in loose, tousled curls or slick it back into a severe bun. Carrie typically veered towards extremes when it came to her hair--she'd wear it loose like a lion's mane or slicked back into a neat bun like a prima ballerina.

6. Turn a simple accessory into your signature style. Carrie popularized two main accessories on "Sex and the City": the flower broach and the name plate necklace. While these trends were from earlier seasons of the show and have since come and gone, you can still channel your inner-Carrie and make a new accessory your own.
