How to Dress Like Zoey Johnson from “Black-ish”

Sex and the City and Gossip Girl, while obviously still iconic, have long ended.  This summer Pretty Little Liars will come to a close. The time has come, ladies: We need to find a new, fearless TV style icon. And I don’t think we need to look much further than ABC’s sitcom Black-ish.

The hit show is currently in its third season. It’s hilarious, quirky, and unafraid to tackle hot-button political issues. It stars the Johnson family and chronicles their life as an upper-class black family living in LA. The Johnson’s oldest daughter, Zoey, played by Yara Shahidi (yes, the girl who got a college recommendation letter from Michelle Obama), has taken the small-screen style torch from the likes of Carrie, Blair, and Aria.

Zoey is the definition of a fashionista. Not only is she always experimenting with cool shapes, colors, prints, and layers, but in one episode she even gets an opportunity to intern at Teen Vogue (fun fact: Yara Shahidi guest edited a recent issue IRL).  She is smart, sassy, and fun-loving, and it shows in her wardrobe.

Zoey’s key pieces are bold printed tops, major earrings, chic pants, and whimsical tees and sweaters. When channeling her vibe, more is more, so don’t be afraid to take a risk and try some seemingly crazy combos.

Below, I’ve styled three outfits that are so Zoey. Use these to get comfortable with her wild style, then keep the momentum going by putting together your own daring looks.

Unlike so many stylish TV ladies, Zoey definitely prefers cool pants to skirts and dresses. It’s not a choice most teen girls would make, but it makes her look so fresh, so polished, so 2017.  From BF jeans to cropped trousers, Zoey’s collection of pants is enviable.
