I was watching a midday rerun of Sex and the City the other day when I noticed Carrie’s slinky, silk dress.
How nice, I thought.
Then I noticed the silk slip showing up in my Instagram feed, the items hanging on my clothes rack and what my friend beside me was wearing.
Err…
I spent the rest of the episode counting how many 2017 trends were in this one episode and soon I realised something truly terrifying: SATC predicted our wardrobes almost twenty years ago.
Silk slips, kimonos, wrap dresses, one shoulder, no shoulder, the female suit, the vintage band tee, tartan.
EVERYTHING.
Get ready to feel about as original as a sandwich.
The Over-Sized Coat.
Carrie wore this over-sized coat in season one, episode one, airing in 1998. Kim Kardashian wore her over-sized coat in October 2016.
The Wrap Dress.
Carrie wore her wrap-dress in one of the first scenes of season one, episode one, airing in 1998. Wrap dresses have been a 2016/2017 summer staple of various labels. The wrap on the right is the Valentina dress by Realisation Par.
The Female Suit.
Miranda wore this classic suit in season one, episode four, airing in 1998. Actress Evan Rachel Wood wore a similar look just this week at the 2017 Golden Globes. Feminine, flawless, chic.
Off The Shoulder AND Tartan.
Carrie wore this tartan tube piece in season one, episode five, airing 1998. Georgia Love wore approximately 12 off the shoulder tops in last year's The Bachelorette. Yes. 12.
Tartan has been vibing as a trend for a long, long time.
