how sex and the city changed fashion in the 2000s 🏙👠👜

rewatching this show to prepare for this video was excruciatingly painful, things have changed an awful lot in 2 decades. while MANY of the outfits in sex and the city are an eyesore, it'd be a lie if i said they weren't influential at the time. here's a breakdown of some of the fashion trends that sex and the city had a hand in popularizing in the 2000s.
here are the articles about nameplate necklaces and black cultures influence on 2000s fashion in general:

To me seasonal or decade long fashion has no credibility or longjevity at all. For me it's about style, confidence & self expression..."style never goes out of fashion,confidence never go out of style & the art of self-expression is all relative". Thrive in what you like to wear, what you can afford, what buisnesses you want to support & what products you won't support; for lack of diversity in campaigns or exploit cultural heritage without informing & giving back to these communities, factories that underpay workers & put their health at serious risk, products that abuse/test on animals or kill them for consumerism...

    I have a younger sister like this. She fell in love with shoes when she was about 2 years old. She would shriek from her pushchair as we walked past a shoe shop, demanding we stop. She had a lot of shoes starting pretty early. As a kid, her dream was to own a shoe shop. She took it all very seriously. As a teen, she worked in a shoe store and freaking loved it! Not kidding. She sent herself bankrupt in her early 20's over-shopping shoes but has been following a strict budget for ten years now. She has a massive shoe collection but for record, it's well organized, she doesn't have any doubles and they're well cared for. When she falls out of love with a pair of shoes, she sells it and because she takes excellent care of her shoes and has so many, a lot of them look like she never wore them. I did worry about her when she got a part-time job at a shoe shop while she was on mat-leave. Her husband gave up and built a room in the basement for her collection years ago. I love flying and have probably thrown away similar money traveling, so I'll keep my mouth firmly shut on my opinion about her shoe habits.

    While it's true it's unrealistic, SATC is a love letter to complicated female friendship, relationships and New York City itself. It's a fairy tale for adults, not realism for realism's sake. Notice how we never/rarely hear about the girls' parents or home lives pre-adult hood? In my headcanon I believe Carrie had parents that were well to do, and set her up with a nice apartment. She mentions buying vogue over food because it "fed me more" so money has *been* an issue for her. Perhaps she makes only enuff to cover her apartment realistically but then again she has like zero savings in the middle seasons. Like I said fairytale lol. How can buy all those shoes and have zero savings *and* live in that apartment, buy all those clothes AND afford to eat out 89% of the time?

    Uhm...Gold jewelry was in style in the working classes and Latin America for this very reason. Latinos associate frivolous or showy wealth as status symbols, it’s why nails, plastic surgery, hair color and flashy fashion is also hugely popular in the group as opposed to the more quiet American market that prefers to demonstrate their wealth through practical accessories like bags, shoes and jackets. Shoes, bags and jackets are the most expensive practical stuff in the fashion market but Latinos hate them they can’t change them often since they associate the ability to embrace trendy looks as a luxury and style instead of praising individual style.

At first I hated her guts but eventually understood she was a creature of her environment and her behavior came through a wanting to survive and understanding of reality. Claire was far from fantasious, she made it her goal to understand the game of life to stay in the life she grew up in and I thank the show every day for showing this in a beautiful manner. Serena was a good buffer to her as someone who was blessed in every way and will frankly always stay there due to being an apex predator of humanity.

    I always feel like a lone-wolf saying this, but I liked Charlotte's style the best. I'm gay, and all the characters were fabulously-outfitted in their own ways, but I've always just really liked classically-feminine looks. Dress however you want, of course; but if it were me, I'd take Charlotte's looks any day. I mean, I live for 90s/early 2000s preppy fashion anyway and am always in a cardigan or sweater-vest, so maybe that's just me. xD

    Still to this day one of my favourite things about this show is how BOLD the fashion is, and how unafraid the characters are to embrace their personal styles. Even though some of the outfits are truly shocking, it's would still be fun to watch the show with the sound off, because of how outrageous the fashion is. I will never forget this one outfit Carrie is wearing a simple shirt and what appears to be a gorgeous green skirt, and then she turns around and it has this really BIZARRE tulle thing on the back, I literally burst out laughing. The weird outfits only make the good ones more iconic.

I think the only one I really embraced were jeans and sweaters with skateboarding shoes in the late 00s because it was comfy. Yes h and the juicy couture track suit in the icy colors. Looking back I actually wish I did embrace more of the trends back then. It looked like so much fun.

And they’d show off the straps, or let it peak out in front or through the arm holes of your shirt. It’s exactly what you’d imagine you’d look like after a bar fight on a night out clubbing 😂

    Patricia Fields is a legendary costume designer who really proved herself not only with "Sex and the City" but also with "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Confessions of a Shopaholic."
