While I love Sex and the City as much as the next gal, I'm constantly chatting about characters' outfits that made me want to throw the remote. (Bra tops and hot pants on a cold fall day? What?) Carrie and crew had some of TV's best fashion moments, and I understand there's an element of fantasy at play here. That still won't stop the ever-growing list of things that, though fantastic, were totally unrealistic. And I love them for it.

Below, nine Sex and the City fashion things that still have me scratching my head.

1. Small clutches working as everyday bags.

Take a look at the majority of all the ladies' outfits and you'll notice that, more often than not, everyone's got tiny clutches tucked under their arms. For most women, the petite size makes an appearance on nights out or at formal events since it's only really suitable where you don't need more than a credit card and your phone. For day-to-day life? Please. Where's the extra space for snacks, gym clothes, and reading material?

2. Heels 24/7.

The entire world knows Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha love heels, but still...there's some practicality to consider (especially in New York City). A stiletto definitely has its moment, but so do sneakers and sandals. In real life, they would slip on something easier every now and then, especially if the day involved skipping from uptown to down for meetings, shopping trips, and drinks with friends.

3. A normal salary supporting that shopping habit.

Sure, if Carrie were a high-level investment banker or the CEO of some mega corporation, she could shop like crazy. But as a newspaper columnist? The ability to live alone in a spacious apartment on a tree-lined block, constantly shop for pricey shoes, and wear a designer wardrobe would never happen—even if she had access to all the sample sales in the world.

4. Miranda's lawyer clothes.

Viewers got it: Miranda was the serious one with a high-powered job. Still, she spent the first half of the series in boxy suits with bad cuts. Was that really necessary? If you had three best friends who were as into style as Samantha, Charlotte, and Carrie, you know at least one of them would have suggested a trip to Bloomingdale's.

5. Keeping clothes forever.

You know the glorious montage in the movie in which the girls judge as Carrie whips through the history of her closet, trying on all sorts of outfits? It was cute to watch but so not realistic. With all the resale apps available and the limited physical space for Carrie's new purchases, she would have been forced to weed out stuff every now and then (and not in just one fell swoop).

6. All the crop-top action.

Crop tops are cool now, but back in Sex and the City's heyday? They weren't really in style. Between Carrie and Samantha, there was no shortage of midriff-flashing outfits, which would have stuck out at the time.

7. Absolutely no weather-appropriate shoes whatsoever.

No one ever acknowledged rain much more than opening an umbrella (or holding a newspaper over her head). Where are the wellies or, at the least, simple flats you don't mind getting destroyed? For a woman who loved her shoes as much as Carrie, she for sure would have been into taking better care of them. This doubles for snow boots for all four.

8. Or cold-weather-ready coats.

Throughout all the show's seasons, a cold winter would have definitely had to strike New York City, meaning the core four should have bundled up a lot more than anyone ever did. Carrie's fur coat makes frequent appearances, but paired with bare legs and flimsy dresses (and all the women were guilty of this). Fashion's awesome, but sometimes you need a warm puffer coat.

9. The lack of cross-pollination.

In real life, few women fit a style category quite as neatly as Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda did. It's a storytelling conceit, but not realistic. If four women spent as much time hanging together as they did, everyone would wind up picking and choosing from one another's styles, inspired to try and mix it up a little.
