There are TV series in which the looks of the protagonists are not built from mere clothes and accessories, but become an integral part of the show: here aesthetics is not subordinate to the screenplay or the set design. Whether they are the dazzling outfits of Generation Z or the chic ones worn by Parisians, it remains a combination of garments, footwear and jewelry that aims to create a true signature hallmark. If you’re looking for series to draw inspiration for your own style or simply to feast your eyes a little, here’s a small list where you can find something that truly fits your needs!
Iconic-look TV series: Here are the ones we recommend
- Euphoria
- Sex and the City
- Emily in Paris
Euphoria
The looks of Euphoria, curated by costume designer Heidi Bivens, have not only redefi ned the way the new generation dresses, but are an integral part of the show and its storytelling. Indeed, all the characters communicate who they are through the clothes they wear. Here there are no shortages of bright colors and blinding glitter for impactful outfits, just as impactful is the protagonists’ story. Euphoria is a 2019 TV series whose plot centers on Rue Bennett and her peers, teenagers who have grown up too fast, amid drugs, sex, abuse and trauma. This teen drama starring consists of 3 seasons and 26 episodes, and you can find it on HBO Max.
Sex and the City
Here the streets of Manhattan have magically transformed into true runways, thanks to the famous costume designer Patricia Field. Carrie’s wardrobe remains a wonderland, where basic pieces coexist with those more expensive and eccentric. When archival vintage and haute couture are at the service of everyday life. How could one not think of Sex and the City when talking about fashionable TV series? Six seasons and 94 episodes that tell us the life—mostly romantic—of Carrie and her three best friends, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha. This cult classic from 1998 is available on Prime Video.
Emily in Paris
If Emily is an American transplanted to France, where she gradually becomes a chic Parisian — at least in the clothing, which becomes ever more refined — her boss, Sylvie, is elegance personified. Their maximalist looks, designed first by the aforementioned Patricia Field and then by Marylin Fitoussi, are so striking that they often overshadow the plot, which is sometimes a bit weak. Emily in Paris is a TV series from 2002, but also a true ode to haute fashion. Currently this romantic comedy focused on the love life and professional life in Paris of Emily Cooper consists of 5 seasons and 50 episodes, but the final chapter will arrive soon. Available on Netflix.
