While each of the Sex and The City characters — and their wardrobes — will forever be etched in our minds, we'll always have a particular soft spot for Charlotte York.
Much like her personality, Charlotte's style typically erred on the more demure side when compared to the other SATC women. Carrie was always on the forefront of fashion trends (no matter how eccentric), while Samantha had a penchant for slinkier styles, and Miranda was a master of the boardroom-chic vibe. Charlotte, however, steered away from stereotypes, typically opting to fill her wardrobe with classic, timeless pieces — similar to her taste in men. And, proving good taste never really goes out of style, her looks are still 100% covetable, despite the show first airing more than two decades ago.
Whether she was working at the gallery in capris and a cardigan, running errands in a midi skirt and tank, or sipping a martini in pearls and an LBD, Charlotte's perfectly-polished aesthetic walked, so our current-day obsession with 'quiet luxury' could run. And it's not just variations of stealth wealth dressing that are (finally) shifting the spotlight to Charlotte and her sartorial sensibilities. The Park Avenue princess' style also lends itself to other trending aesthetics of today, from preppy to coquette — in turn, solidifying Charlotte as a style icon to transcend eras.
