“And Just Like That” is having a fashion crisis

The fashion in “And Just Like That” is as important as in “Sex and the City,” serving as a storyteller of its own. Each outfit and accessory plays a role in revealing a character’s emotions and personality. In a recent episode, Seema Patel’s (Sarita Choudhury) choice of pastel florals and plastic pearls was notably jarring, especially next to her chic and confident friends like Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker).

Seema’s style, characterized by designer pieces, monochrome outfits, and neutrals, reflects her strong and unwavering persona. Despite being advised by matchmaker Sydney Cherkov to change her style to attract a partner, Seema remains true to herself and refuses to compromise her happiness.

The show presents a mix of fashion hits and misses, with some outfits bordering on questionable choices. While some characters like Seema and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) maintain a consistent and elegant style, others like Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) make bold fashion statements that may not always resonate with the audience.

As the characters navigate relationships and self-discovery, their fashion choices mirror their journey. The show’s costume designers, inspired by the philosophy that fashion tells a story, create looks that reflect the characters’ personalities and emotions. Ultimately, the fashion in “And Just Like That” serves as a reflection of the characters’ inner worlds and adds depth to the storytelling.
