How to Dress for 2022 Like The Main Character
And just like that, because the reboot of Sex and the City has caused so much buzz, chaos, and nostalgia, it’s hard to not fantasize about what it might be like to live like Carrie Bradshaw—to be the main character of a glamorously interesting and fabulous, albeit a bit chaotic, life (Seriously, who wouldn’t want to walk around New York City in heels while never taking the subway?).

While we may not all be—or, quite frankly, want to be–Carries, there is something to be said for dressing like the main character, and we say dressing the part is half the key to getting there. As time goes on, we want our stories to develop, our character to evolve, and best of all, for those around us to know our role. If your life is a series, 2022 is the start of a brand new season with all of the opportunity to grow into your best self.
Ready to take your style a step further in 2022? These tips will help you maintain main character status—even if it’s only in your own life.
Mix bold colors and prints

The key to dressing like the main character? Not being afraid to be bold and stand out from everyone else in the room. One of the easiest ways to get there? By mixing colors and prints. Sometimes, the key to this is to think less and improvise more. Pair your favorite patterned jacket with a shirt you usually let do the talking on its own or pair your brightest pants with an equally bright top instead of a neutral. The result will always look effortless, chic, and head-turning.
Choose monochrome

Monochrome is always considered a power move. The key to nailing monochrome is to choose hues that are in the same shade family but not identical (for example, khaki-colored pants with a dark brown sweater and camel coat). Pairing similar shades with one another leaves you with a look that feels impeccably polished every single time.
