    In honor of Sex and The City's reboot, we couldn't help but revisit the iconic style of our favorite cosmo-sipping New Yorkers. The fab wardrobes —the brainchild of stylist Patricia Field—were so very distinct, that they were often a heated point of discussion in and of themselves. Ahead, we're taking a look at four of our favorite looks from fashion moments past, with pieces you can outfit yourself in right now.

    Carrie Bradshaw

    We love Carrie's penchant for rocking over-the-top outfits—no matter the occasion. Her style embraced striking accessories and show-stopping prints, while incorporating the classics; from brooches to bags to her signature Manolo Blahniks.

    One thing's for sure: Samantha made her own rules when it came to power dressing. You could depend on the New York publicist's plunging necklines, leg-baring mini dresses, and playful accessories that always offered up a bit of kitsch.
