Carrie-approved looks and Upper East Side flair… this season’s fashion is all about playful polish and romantic drama.

Category Queens:
Blouses took the lead at 60.0%, giving that iconic Carrie Bradshaw flounce. Blazers (35.6%) and chic tops (34.4%) kept things structured yet stylish, while skirts (27.8%) and jackets (23.3%) added layered dimension to the look.

Color Crushes:
Romantic pastels and muted jewel tones ruled. The deep green #254c48 (29.4%) stole the show, followed by airy shades like #a3c6c2 (19.6%) and #d2ecea (15.2%). Teal tones like #4d7a79 and #7b9c9a added balance. Think cocktails at brunch and drama at dusk.

Fabric Fantasy:
 It’s all about the feminine touch. Lace (72.2%) and chiffon (61.1%) dominated, giving that floaty, ethereal vibe. Cotton and knit (around 52%) brought softness, while crochet (28.9%) gave just enough boho edge for a sidewalk strut.

Design Details:
Sleeves were everywhere: long, short, dramatic (92.2%). Collars (48.9%), V-necks (41.1%), and sleeveless cuts (44.4%) added variety. The key? Options for every kind of girl gang outing.

Shaped to Stun:
The “shirt” silhouette (90.0%) was the MVP, often slim (47.8%), cropped (40.0%), and mini (34.4%). These looks scream playful confidence: brunch, business, or breaking hearts.

Style Vibes:
Summer energy reigned (98.9%), with romantic “love” styles (56.7%) and timeless classics (62.2%). Elegant and cute aesthetics followed close behind, proving that flirty and polished can totally coexist.

Texture Talk:
Prints ruled at 94.4%, closely followed by patterns (78.9%), florals (66.7%), and stripes (64.4%). Linen (40.0%) grounded the dreamy with a hint of relaxed luxury.

Bottom Line:
This season was Sex and the City meets the runway: light, romantic, with a smart splash of sass. From chiffon sleeves to floral prints, it’s a closet Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha could all agree on.
