Long after her days as Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker continues to prove that her passion for footwear isn’t just a character trait—it’s a business empire.
During a series of visits to her Midtown Manhattan and South Street Seaport boutiques in January 2021, the designer demonstrated how to bridge the gap between high-fashion footwear and practical city dressing.
Whether she is personally assisting customers or scouting new pairs for her own closet, SJP’s street style offers a masterclass in elevating casual staples with statement heels and boots.

Channeling her shoe-loving Sex and the City character, SJP was spotted leaving her Midtown, Manhattan shop with two shopping bags full of goodies from her own boutique.
She looked chic in a cozy coat with a fur-trimmed hood, paired with straight-leg light-washed cuffed jeans. Underneath her coat, she wore a loose-fitting green V-neck sweatshirt, which she tucked into her jeans while in her store.

3. Practical City Style: Tucking Baggy Sweatpants into SJP Suede Busker Boots
A few days before her Midtown Manhattan store visit, Sarah Jessica dropped by her shop at the South Street Seaport District.
Personally serving her customers, SJP kept things low-key in a loose-fitting blue sweater by Gerard Darel, worn over a long-sleeved black top.
The American actress paired her outfit with baggy Les Tien drawstring sweatpants ($195).
