Yesterday, the Sex and the City actress pulled on a taupe puffer coat and took her two beautiful Broderick babies turned aliens, Marion and Tabitha, out for a stroll in Soho. Her daughters were properly armored against the “wintry mix” (a.k.a. sleet) that was set to fall, each wearing a checkered insulated jacket, bright cozy pants, and matching shearling boots. While Sarah Jessica Parker opted for a pair of sunglasses and a slouchy gray beanie to finish her look, her girls chose metallic antenna headbands (note the twinkling stars) to protect their little heads — and, of course, to send a message to the galaxy to please lay off on the precipitation.

Dries Van Noten and 3.1 Phillip Lim drew inspiration from the nineties for their spring runway shows, which featured models layered up in a mix of plaid and floral looks, finished off with a tousled head of hair and a pair of creepers. The new take on grunge is refined, similar to this outfit by Marie Claire’s Preetma Singh. A ladylike skirt, such as her Rochas version, is juxtaposed against black-and-white creepers by Underground. With its watercolor-inspired floral pattern, the bottom could feel overly fussy when paired with a set of heels; a flat, thick shoe is an unexpected option that adds heft to the look. She chose a band tee and an oversize grandpa cardigan to play up the riot-grrl influence, but the outfit would look equally as cool when worn with a sharp button-up or a fitted sweater. The key is to choose a thin-soled creeper, because a thick sole will make the look too retro.
