Vivienne Westwood ‘Heart Crossbody’ - $660.00

Was anyone else also reminded of this heart shaped crossbody Taylor carried oh so many moons ago?

Worn with: Vivienne Westwood dress and top

Get the look: Marc Jacobs

Vivienne Westwood ‘Sunday Dress’ - $1,010.00

In new photos shared by Brittany Mahomes, we see Taylor wearing a full Vivienne Westwood ensemble.

While the colours may not be very TTPD, I’ll forever associate VW’s expert and iconic corsetry as this era’s signature item. It also likens back to memories of last summer when Taylor wore other bustier-like pieces (that floral corset comes to mind) to usher in a new era aesthetic.

Worn with: Vivienne Westwood top and bag

Alaïa ‘Curved Seam Detailed Skater Dress’ - $3,493.00

Taylor and Gracie were on fire (creatively and literally) this evening. Following a dinner out, the two of them returned to Taylor’s NYC apartment to co-write Gracie’s new song “us.” into the wee hour s of the morning. The songwriting session culminated in a slight fire emergency when a wayward cat tipped a candle over and started a small fire. Thanks to personal videos ℅ Gracie from this evening, I can now confirm that Taylor not only knows how to use a fire extinguisher but that she can do so while wearing a crisp white Alaïa dress.

You may in fact recognize this particular dress because Taylor has also worn it in black - albeit styled very differently. Here, with a boxy navy peacoat and platform loafers the dress takes on a crisp, schoolgirl uniform-in-fall/winter effect.

Worn with: Gant coat, YSL bag, Mazin Jewels ring, and Sézane loafers

Palmer//Harding ‘Solo Trench’ - $1,258.00

Over the years of identifying Taylor’s fashion I’ve also noted a few key pillars of her style: repetition, high/low, and indie designers. The latter is present here with this new-to-her brand Palmer//Harding, based in London.

While I believe a trench to be a timeless wardrobe classic, this particular one is cut a little special. You’ll notice the more voluminous silhouette and wider sleeves that create a more relaxed look. Or in Taylor’s case when belted that mimic the fit/flare of the LBD she has on underneath and slides in neatly with her go-to feminine style.

Worn with: Cartier necklace, Versace bag, Olympus camera, and Versace shoes

Get the look: H&M, $99.00

Khaite ‘Diletta Cashmere Sweater’ - $1,100.00

I personally love the combination of pieces - especially the spring-like temperature combination of light sweater + short skirt. Plus that shade of pastel blue is v on trend atm. Though for a personal copy + paste, I’d opt for a burgundy or black sweater as a moody tone / dark neutrals kind of girl.

All in - it sure is just nice to see her isn’t it?

Worn with: Joseph Duclos bag, Sandy Liang skort, and Reformation loafers

Continuing her love of loafers but rendered in the current trendy chunky silhouette.

Joseph Duclos ‘Diane Leather Messenger Bag’ - $7,079.00

After taking a very deserved break following the most recent leg of the Eras Tour, Taylor has appeared in Malibu grabbing lunch out with Travis.

This ‘fit continues her streak of schoolgirl softness as well as her well established sartorial style pillars (repeats, high/low, indie designers).

The high/low and indie designer comes from her sandwich style accessories thanks to her long standing love of the more accessible Reformation and a new bag by French brand Joseph Duclos.

Joseph Duclos interestingly has a history tracing back to 1754 but has only recently been revived by new creative direction. Interestingly, the namesake of this ‘Diane’ bag was apparently meant to pay homage to a “muse who is powerful and mysterious”.

Worn with: Sandy Liang skort and Reformation loafers

Levi’s ‘Distressed Denim Skirt’ - $110.00

Thanks to a new photo posted by Sabrina we finally get a closer look at some of the discernible details on Taylor’s cute denim skirt she wore to the zoo in Australia last month. Per the distinctive pattern on the back pocket, this is most likely a distressed Levi’s skirt - or in the very least a reworked one repurposing Levi’s denim like EB Denim’s work as pictured in detail shot and retailing here.

Get the look: Madewell, $98.00 / Old Navy, $35.00

Miu Miu ‘Pleated Mini Skirt’ - $1,405.25

This marks Taylor’s third Miu Miu skirt in recent months. Her previous two were in a cute check and plaid prints.

Worn with: House of CB top and Tilly Sveaas necklace

Get the look: ASOS, $46.00

Tilly Sveaas ‘Gold T-Bar Curb Link Necklace’ - $385.00 (starting)

Statement gold jewelry like the iconic T-bar (Taylor bar, perhaps) by U.K. brand Tilly Sveaas (I wonder if Taylor was amused by sharing the same initials as the brand?) feel very in line with Taylor’s latest love of gold jewelry stacking.

House of CB ‘Chicca Top’ - $119.00

I had voiced just today in my Tortured Poets prediction post over on the TSS Patreon what our first glimpse of “official” TTPD candid style would look like now that we all have a project to contextualize her fashion through. The last year has seen Taylor evoke a mature continuation of the schoolgirl styles (heeled loafers, plaid mini skirts, chunky knits) she’s loved since her late teens that one can now perhaps read in retrospect as future nods to ‘dark academia’ fashion that we may continue to see unfold under the TTPD masthead.

This ‘fit (our first following her album announcement at the Grammys) seems to all but confirm that by underlining the key items that she’s been repeating as this era’s uniform. Pieces like her House of CB bustier-style corset top (the hook and eye front closure, ruffled neckline, and curvy seam details feel soft and femme and a little sensual) and belted mini skirt (her third by Miu Miu).

I so look forward to continuing to watch TTPD fashion unfold. What are your thoughts? Both on past outfits and this one perhaps leading to the road of The Tortured Poets Department.

Chiefs vs Ravens | Baltimore, MD | January 28, 2024

Guest In Residence ‘Cozy Crew in Cherry Red’ - $695.00

As has been Taylor’s M.O. for her game day style, she opted for a sentimental piece by a friend - this one a Chiefs-approved cherry red cozy knit by friends Gigi Hadid’s cashmere brand.

It’s been fascinating to observe Taylor’s game day fashion evolve from September to now (full Patreon post coming next week in case you’d like to subscribe @ patreon.com/taylorswiftstyle) and even more so to see her wear something so utterly non-descript during such a key match like the AFC Championship - a Super Bowl decider game.

We’ve seen Taylor be unafraid to literally wear her heart on her sleeve, opting for ’87’ plastered pieces like a custom jacket but I think her choice here to go subtle (especially at an away game, which has also been typical for her game day style playbook) and non-descript but no less personally meaningful to be the right call to strike a more supportive spectator (not starring) role. Especially given the fact that I’m sure the celebratory walk onto the field was planned in the case the Chiefs were to win - making her presence all the more visible and photographed and in particular closer up than any photogs would ever have access to her at previous games.

The Row ‘Ieva Hooded Cashmere Maxi Dress’ - $3,350.00 $2,345.00

There is shockingly a lot from this very simple and cozy outfit that I like. Sure, Taylor is basically in a fashun version of a snuggie - but who wouldn’t want to rock that kind of look if one had the means.

Tonally, I love the sandwich styling happening between the coordination of her sweater dress and bag (lighter colours in touchable materials - cashmere and suede) and her coat and boots (darker colours in heavier, functional materials - wool and leather).

Worn with: Gant coat, Manu Atelier bag, and The Row boots

Christian Louboutin ‘Panaroot Dune Combat Boots’ - $1,395.00

Taylor kicking off sub-zero WAG fashion all bundled up. I have to say the foresight to opt for Louboutin combat boots here are a comfy and also on-colour theme choice to sandwich style her custom jacket.

Worn with: Kristin Juszczyk jacket and Manu bag
