We're pretty sure Carrie Bradshaw invented the naked shoe, and this iconic scene from the show is one of our favorite ways she styled the trend—simply, with a crisp white summer dress and a statement bag.

If you don't remember exactly what Carrie is looking at in this scene, you aren't a true fan. But I digress. This summer-in-the-Hamptons getup was on-theme, yes, but if we're being honest, it was something Carrie would have worn around the city without a second thought. The star here, however, is the tube top. Carrie was rarely seen without one on a hot summer day.

Some of us might cringe at the thought of wearing a body-con dress, but Carrie was the queen of styling them to look beyond chic. With a simple sandal and a classic bag, these little dresses instantly looked so expensive.

Carrie loved an accessory moment, but in the summer, she frequented the headscarf. This is the perfect piece to throw on to add some edge to every kind of look from the pool to brunch.

Whether sneaking into Soho House or lying on the beach in the Hamptons, Carrie was often spotted wearing a classic underwire bikini. The style is still just as popular as it was back then, so get to shopping.

Carrie was always about prints, prints, and more prints, but particularly in the summer. She was known for scoring cheap vintage dresses to match her designer shoes, and most of the time, they had short hemlines and loud prints.

Last but not least, short shorts, or as some of us like to call them, hot pants. Carrie was always experimenting with odd pant lengths from pedal pushers to these mini shorts. In case you feel like trying the trend for yourself, we shopped out the chicest pairs on the internet.
