Okay so.
I was rewatching Succession for like the third time last week, and I caught myself screenshotting Shiv's entire wardrobe. Again. And then it hit me - the TV characters we obsess over? They're basically just mirror versions of who we are. Or who we want to be.
Wild, no?
Think about it. You're not just randomly drawn to certain characters. Their style choices, their whole aesthetic vibe - it says SO much about your personality. I've been down this rabbit hole, and honestly? The connections are kinda spooky.
Let me break this down.
The Carrie Bradshaw Effect (You're A Maximalist Queen)
If you're still obsessed with Carrie's chaotic closet energy, you're probably the friend who shows up to brunch in three different patterns and somehow makes it work. You live for statement pieces. That random vintage belt? You'll find a way to style it.
Your closet is basically organized chaos. You keep everything because "I might need this someday" and you know what? You actually DO need it someday.
You're the type who'd absolutely crush a capsule wardrobe challenge... for like, three days. Then you'd add seventeen accessories because rules are meant to be broken, right?
The Emily Cooper Situation (Controversial But You Own It)
Look, I know Emily in Paris gets dragged constantly. But if you secretly love her bold, clashing, absolutely unhinged outfit choices? You're confident as hell.
You don't care if people think your pink beret with that striped dress is "too much." Too much is your baseline. You're probably the first person trying every viral TikTok fashion trend that hits your feed.
Haters gonna hate. You're gonna wear that bucket hat anyway.
Shiv Roy Energy (Quiet Luxury Is Your Love Language)
If Shiv's neutral-toned, perfectly tailored power suits make your heart race, you're all about that understated expensive look. You'd rather invest in one perfect blazer than buy five trendy ones.
You probably have strong opinions about fabric quality. Cashmere vs wool? You have THOUGHTS.
Your style philosophy is basically "if you know, you know." No logos needed. The cut speaks for itself. You're definitely the person who'd appreciate a good designer dupe situation but only if the quality is there.
Blair Waldorf Forever (Preppy Never Dies)
Still channeling Blair's headbands and structured dresses in 2024? You're traditional but make it fashion. You love a good uniform - like, you probably have a signature look that you just... repeat.
Your Pinterest board is immaculate. Everything coordinates. You iron your jeans, don't you? (No judgment, I'm impressed honestly.)
You'd absolutely love reading about fashion editor daily uniforms because same energy. Consistency is your thing.
The Rachel Green Evolution (You Grew Up With Her)
If Rachel's 90s aesthetic still influences your shopping choices, you're nostalgic but current. You love a good vintage moment but styled in a modern way.
You're probably amazing at finding vintage designer pieces online because you have THE eye. You can spot a good oversized blazer from a mile away.
Your style is basically "what if the 90s but make it now?" And honestly? It works.
Rue Bennett's Oversized Hoodie Life (Comfort Is Key)
If you vibe with Rue's oversized everything aesthetic, you're probably reading this in an oversized hoodie right now. Called it.
You value comfort over everything but somehow still look put together. Your uniform is probably vintage band tees, huge hoodies, and perfectly worn-in jeans.
You're the friend who makes everyone else feel overdressed, but in a cool way. Your style is effortless because you genuinely don't try that hard. Which is... the whole point?
The Villanelle Chaos (Fashion Is Art, Baby)
Okay if you're obsessed with Villanelle's absolutely unhinged, high-fashion, chameleon wardrobe - you're a fashion risk-taker. You see clothes as costume, as art, as transformation.
You probably have pieces in your closet that you haven't figured out how to wear yet. But you will. Eventually. Maybe.
Your style inspiration comes from everywhere. Fashion week street style? Yes. Random TikTok? Also yes. You're the person who actually reads those fashion subscription box reviews because you're always looking for the next interesting piece.
Wednesday Addams Energy (Dark Academia Forever)
If Wednesday's monochrome goth prep aesthetic speaks to your soul, you're committed to your vibe. Like, COMMITTED.
You probably own multiple black dresses that look identical but are actually completely different. Your friends can't tell them apart. You can. Obviously.
You're the person who makes all-black look interesting every single day. Texture is everything. Details matter. That slightly different collar? Game changer.
The Lorelai Gilmore Approach (Quirky Comfort)
Lorelai's mix of casual, quirky, and occasionally fancy? That's you living your best life in jeans and a fun top, ready for whatever.
You're practical but personality-driven. Your wardrobe works for your actual life - not some imaginary life where you attend galas weekly.
You'd probably love figuring out how to style office pieces for the weekend because versatility is your jam.
Here's The Thing Though
You probably relate to multiple characters, right? Same. I'm like 60% Shiv, 30% Lorelai, and 10% "why did I buy this sequined jacket at 2am."
And that's totally normal.
Your style identity isn't fixed. It changes with your mood, your life phase, what show you're currently binging. Last month I was all about quiet luxury. This month? I bought a bright pink coat because I saw it on TikTok and had a moment.
The characters we connect with style-wise are basically just... us trying on different versions of ourselves. Testing out aesthetics. Figuring out what feels right.
Sometimes you're the put-together power suit person. Sometimes you're the oversized hoodie chaos. Both are valid. Both are you.
So which TV character's closet would you raid first? Because honestly, I'm still thinking about Villanelle's pink dress situation and I might need to do something about that.
Your move, fashion gods. Your move.
