What Is Styled After? A Guide to Sustainable, Ethical Style Inspired by TV Fashion
Styled After | Sustainable TV Fashion, Curated Responsibly
Iconic television fashion has always shaped how we dress — but sustainable TV fashion has rarely been part of the conversation. Styled After exists to change that.
At Styled After, we believe you don’t have to sacrifice style for ethics. We want you to feel good about how you look and feel confident about the impact of your wardrobe choices. You have a choice in where you purchase your clothing. Here, you’ll find curated, sustainable alternatives to TV outfits inspired by your favorite on-screen characters — so you can bring main character energy into your everyday life.
Fashion from TV shows and movies such as Sex and the City, Emily in Paris, And Just Like That, and The Devil Wears Prada has inspired us for decades. We admire the confidence, artistry, and individuality these characters embody — and we aspire to bring that feeling into our real-world wardrobes. Styled After is where that inspiration meets intention.
We’re all here because we love fashion. As one of the most iconic film characters once said about legendary designers:
“What they did, what they created was greater than art, because you live your life in it.” — Nigel, The Devil Wears Prada
To us, an outfit is more than clothes — it is creativity, joy, inspiration, confidence, and at its best, art.
However, everything has its price. The fashion industry has long sold us the lie that cheaper, more, and faster is better. But this model was never created for our benefit — or for the manufacturers or the environment. Fast fashion TV dupes may seem alluring, but they’re a façade. We don’t need more — we deserve better.
Sustainable brands have grown dramatically over the past decade, giving us more options than ever to build intentional wardrobes. When we choose to recreate TV show outfits sustainably, we push the fashion industry toward higher standards, greater transparency, and a healthier ecosystem for everyone.
The Problem With Fast Fashion TV Dupes
Fast fashion is deteriorating both the industry and the environment. Historically, fashion followed just two seasons (Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter). Then came five (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, Resort). Today, some brands release twelve micro-seasons, one every month. The waste this creates is staggering.
It’s tempting to purchase an inexpensive outfit or try the latest trend for cheap, but the hidden cost is far greater. Workers are often paid below a living wage and may work in unsafe conditions. Fabric waste, overproduction, and excessive shipping materials contribute to global pollution — filling landfills, oceans, and communities with non-biodegradable waste. When we choose fast fashion, we’re opting for short-term convenience over long-term impact.
We (theoretically) save money today, but it costs us tomorrow.
It’s easy to overlook the consequences when they’re not visible in our own neighborhoods. Yet around the world, people — and the planet — bear the burden. Forests, oceans, ecosystems, and even the air we breathe suffer because of the fast fashion cycle.
Of course, we don’t live in a perfect world, and yes, everything industrialized comes with a cost. The question becomes: What kind of impact do we want to make — better or worse?
Our love for beautiful clothes and impeccable style doesn’t have to be sacrificed. Thanks to a growing number of responsible brands, it’s easier than ever to choose ethical alternatives to TV outfits without compromising on style.
Our Philosophy: Sustainable Fashion Inspired by TV Shows
At Styled After, our mission is to bring you beautiful, intentional, and sustainable fashion inspired by TV shows and movies you love. We’re here to show you that it is possible to elevate your wardrobe responsibly. Gone are the days when you had to choose between your dream outfit and your ethics — today, you can have both.
We offer a curated fashion experience inspired by the screen, designed for real life, and rooted in conscious, elevated dressing. You deserve to enjoy the ritual of selecting your outfits each day with ease, joy, and confidence — knowing your closet is filled with timeless, thoughtfully crafted pieces from ethical brands. Here, we remove the guilt and bring you options designed to live beautifully for years to come.
Statement pieces that lit up the screen can now illuminate your everyday moments. Getting dressed in the morning should feel as inspiring as watching your favorite looks unfold on TV. Life can feel as polished, expressive, and glamorous as you want it to be — all while choosing brands committed to style, quality, and sustainability.
You deserve to shop from brands that care about you, your wellbeing, and the lives of their workers. You deserve clothing that not only looks incredible on you but makes you feel good about the choices behind each piece.
How We Recreate TV Show Outfits Sustainably
We begin with an iconic TV outfit and rebuild it using sustainable, ethical brands we trust. While the looks may not be exact replicas of what your favorite character wore, our goal is to show you how easily you can recreate TV show outfits sustainably — bringing that on-screen inspiration directly into your own wardrobe without compromising your values.
You don’t need a production budget or designer connections to dress like your most beloved TV or movie characters. Instead, we curate ethical fashion alternatives that reflect the style, mood, and essence of the original look, offering elevated pieces made to last.
Your wardrobe should feel as inspiring and expressive as you are. Whether it’s a structured handbag, a cropped jacket, an elegant slip dress, or a tailored coat, these styles can all be purchased sustainably from thoughtful, responsible brands.
We edit so you don’t have to. We curate full outfits — from delicate jewelry to sophisticated heels — giving you a complete picture of what’s possible. You can purchase the entire look or mix and match pieces to reflect your own personal style. Each outfit is intentionally composed to make sustainable shopping effortless, exciting, and enjoyable.
Shopping responsibly shouldn’t feel restrictive or difficult. We're here to show you that it can be seamless, aspirational, and as inspiring as watching your favorite characters come to life on screen.
Carrie Bradshaw Style—Reimagined With Sustainable Fashion
We decided to begin with one of our most beloved characters: Carrie Bradshaw in And Just Like That. In this series, her style is elevated and aspirational with a touch of whimsical charm. Here, you’ll find curated looks recreated with exceptional, sustainable pieces you can seamlessly integrate into your wardrobe. With these pieces, you can reignite your everyday outfits and embody the main character energy that Carrie inspires in all of us.
Pat Field and Molly Rogers pushed Carrie’s style to exhilarating, artistic heights — and we’re here for it. The designers and artisans they collaborate with are true visionaries, and the way the stylists mixed high and low pieces is nothing short of extraordinary. Our goal is to help you capture that same creativity using the best sustainable fashion alternatives available today.
Your clothing should be fun, expressive, and deeply personal. At Styled After, we select pieces that highlight the essence of each character’s look while allowing you to integrate them into your everyday life. From timeless staples to trend-worthy standouts, these pieces are curated to bring joy, ease, and inspiration back into your morning routine.
Ethical Fashion at Every Price Point: Luxe, Signature & Essentials
Fashion should be fluid, expressive, and endlessly creative. Mixing high and low pieces is a brilliant way to add dimension and personality to your outfits. Just as the iconic SATC stylists layered unexpected elements to build unforgettable looks, you can incorporate that same variety into your own wardrobe.
To support this, Styled After offers three distinct edits designed to expand your styling options without compromising your budget or your values:
Luxe Edit
Our most extravagant and elevated collection. Here, you’ll discover investment-worthy pieces from designers such as Stella McCartney, Voz, AKYN, and other luxury ethical brands. These are heirloom-level items crafted to last.
Signature Edit
Our most iconic offering — and often our first-choice recommendation. This edit features mid-priced, beautifully made pieces from premium, sustainable brands such as Sézane, Reformation, and Mejuri. These items reflect the essence of Styled After: elevated, intentional, and wearable.
Essentials Edit
Our most accessible collection. A well-rounded wardrobe deserves variety, and this edit ensures you can shop consciously at an affordable price point. Expect timeless staples from brands such as Everlane, ABLE, and Kotn — pieces designed for everyday wear without compromising ethics.
Ethical Fashion Alternatives to Fast Fashion
Styled After exists to put ethical fashion alternatives at the forefront. We believe sustainable style should be a standard — not a marketing angle or an afterthought. As we’ve already explored, fast fashion not only diminishes the artistry of clothing but also impacts the environment, workers, and the integrity of our wardrobes.
We are committed to offering beautiful, timeless alternatives that make mindful purchasing effortless. Style is not a compromise; it is a statement. Sustainable brands give us the ability to look good, feel good, and shop with intention. As fashion enthusiasts, we deserve pieces that complement both our aesthetic preferences and our values.

Our site is designed to inspire your creativity — to scroll the way you would through your favorite magazine: slowly, delightfully, and with curiosity.
We’re here to bring you the most exciting TV-inspired sustainable fashion, but also to celebrate the joy of dressing well. Style is an experience — a feeling — and we believe in building a world that’s beautiful from the inside out.
