All the Shoes Carrie Bradshaw Would Wear in 2018
It's no secret that when it comes to fashion, everything always comes back around. Bike shorts? Check. Shell jewelry? Check. Baggy jeans? Check. You get the picture. But what still to this day does surprise me is that Carrie Bradshaw literally wore every cool trend that is resurfacing in 2018. No, but seriously, if I was currently in possession of her wardrobe in Sex and the City, I would be the most stylish lady 2018 had ever seen. While her fanny packs and peddle pushers are not to be ignored, it's her shoe collection that would truly thrive this spring and summer, and we are here to celebrate that.
Ahead, I shopped out all the major shoe trends Carrie Bradshaw effortlessly mastered back in the day. Essentially, if she were to go shopping right now, the below selection is my educated guess on what she would spend all her money on. From clear mules to knee-high boots, get ready to shop the Carrie Bradshaw shoe wardrobe of 2018. Nostalgia is so sweet, isn't it?
Trend: Crystal Clear
These iconic Carrie Bradshaw shoes will go down in history, and ironically, they are more popular now than they were back then. If Carrie were to walk into any shoe store at this given moment, she would scoff at the fact that she owned these shoes before anyone else before buying a fresh pair.
Trend: White Pumps
Generally speaking, pumps were to Carrie as sneakers are to runners. She wasn't caught dead not wearing a sleek pair of stilettos, and this throwback picture of her proves she would be all over the white shoe trend, in particular, when it comes to her pump addiction.
Trend: Cool Colors
Statement shoes were something Carrie Bradshaw wore to hail a cab, grab a cup of coffee, or pick up her dry-cleaning. There wasn't a shoe too grandiose for any day-to-day outing on her agenda, which is why when it came to color, the brighter, the better. As bold hues of all kinds are making a name for themselves this year, we can bet that Carrie would be buying the craziest colors on the market without thinking twice.
Trend: Knee-High Boots
Just when we thought knee-high boots had bit the dust, they made a triumphant return. Carrie knew a few things about a bold knee-high boot, as she wore them with dresses, skirts, and of course, furry outerwear. Our favorite pair in her possession was this rosy snakeskin set, and below are a few pairs we think she would lose her mind (and her money) over.
Trend: Strappy Sandals
Was Carrie the queen of this '90s strappy sandal style? Absolutely. The skinnier and the more plentiful the straps, the better, and we think that the valiant return of this trend in 2018 would have Carrie quaking in her boots, especially in neutral colors she could throw on with anything in her stuffed closet.
Next up, shop the denim trend that will make you rethink skinny jeans.
