Sarah Jessica Parker's sandy UGG boots, khaki cargos and hooded knit look was so 2005 and 2025 all at once
SJP nailed cosy, comfy and casual in this noughties look - and we're ready to replicate it twenty years later


Sarah Jessica Parker's sandy UGG boots, slouchy khaki cargos and a cosy hooded knit outfit from 2005 featured elements that have come right back around to trend again twenty years later.
With UGGs (and affordable UGG alternatives) having made a comeback in a massive way of late, the woman&home team stepped into the new year with Ultra Minis, Tasmans, and even UGG's new Mary Jane twist, firmly embedded into our 2025 capsule wardrobes.
And with the resurgence of UGGs has come a hefty dose of fashion nostalgia - the last time UGGs were this huge it was the noughties. Thankfully, countless questionable style trends have been left there - but with UGGs included, some of the best of noughties dressing has come full circle to trend again in 2025.
We couldn't help but notice just that when we stumbled across a 2005 street style moment from Sarah Jessica Parker during a trawl through the fashion archives. Her blend of baggy khaki cargo pants, sand-toned UGGs and hooded cream knitwear would even look cool twenty years on.
Shop Sandy UGGs
An UGG classic, the Mini II Boot is a best-selling favourite and has been for years. Comfy, cosy and easy to blend into your everyday style rotation in this muted beige hue.
Shop Comfy Cargos

With a comfy drawstring waist, spacious pockets and lightweight design, this lululemon pair of cargos are perfect for easing your way into wearing them.

We love Mango's grungy take on jeans in the form of this cargo-style denim - with a straight leg design and edgy pockets and buckles, they're an on-trend wardrobe investment.
Ideal for comfy and casual dressing that maintains a smart feel, this White Stuff pair of khaki cargos are a brilliant option, especially thanks to the massively slashed price tag.
Stepping out in New York's Greenwich Village with husband Matthew Broderick and son James in March 2005, SJP wrapped up for a brisk spring day in the city, combining toasty footwear, lowkey trousers and a slouchy knit.
Holding hands with her little one for the sweet family walk, the Sex and the City icon prioritised comfort in the Sand UGG Mini Boots - complimenting the beige hue of the pair with her olive green utility-style bottoms.
Her zip-up cream hoodie added a brighter feel to the ensemble, while her signature voluminous hair and oversized sunglasses ensured some of her ever-present SJP glamour shone through.
