Even from far away, I know that this is an outfit I would personally copy + paste in a heartbeat. The combination of rich neutrals and oversized blazer truly have my heart.

This outfit continues a lot of ongoing TTPD trends. Namely, corsetry and a certain sensual appeal thanks to the rich materials used in the top and skirt.

Me: Touches down in Kansas City MO, calls the amateurs, and cuts them from the team. Taylor: Is frolicking about NYC.

Clowning and egging (and bears - oh my!) aside this feels like a very classic Fall Taylor ‘fit. A knit crop, a pleated plaid mini, and boots are an easy, seasonal uniform.

It isn’t all that surprising that Taylor would tap Monse for some of her looks. The two designers at the helm, Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia, first met when they were working together at Oscar de la Renta - one of Taylor’s longstanding favourite brands.

Someone got a haul of Gucci recently and decided to wear it all in one fell weekend. It’s not uncommon for Taylor to be brand loyal and to wear a slew of things from a single designer many times over, consecutively.

Now on the European leg of Eras, I had been wondering when we’d see her pop in London. The days ahead of her U.K. dates seemed like a fitting time as any. And oh is she saying things with this ensemble. 

When the folklore and evermore sets combined into one, Taylor introduced a few other smaller changes to the costuming. These changes feel like a proper ‘blending’ of the Eras.

In between Eras Tour stops in Europe, Taylor opted for some vacation time at this very romantic and popular lakeside tourist destination in Italy.

Like we were (new outfits) in Paris! After about four fortnights off, Taylor brought the Eras Tour back for its European leg in France. And with this new leg comes a handful of setlist changes... and, more importantly, costume changes.

Taylor’s Super Bowl style has followed such a reliable formula that a predictions post felt like oversetting expectations. We love a ‘work’ uniform created in mind for a setting. And in Taylor’s ‘rookie season’ of sportsball spectatorship, she’s developed a great one.

Rather than opt for actual Chiefs merchandise, Taylor opted for one of her go-to outerwear brands in Chiefs-approved colours that also included some stars (do u like dem?).

Many people have wondered when Taylor would wear an 87 jersey at a game and I’m delighted that the moment has come in such a fashionably fun way courtesy of #KristinJuszczyk - wife of 49ers player Kyle Juszczyk - who has taken to repurposing old jerseys into fabulous custom coats like this one.

For her final Chiefs game of 2023, after a slew of outfits supported by mini skirts and tall boots Taylor instead opted for what I’ll call a personal copy + paste outfit for me with a belted pair of pants and heeled boots.

What a blast from the past with this sweater which I’m tentatively calling based on Taylor owning and wearing this particular knit in six different colours over twelve years.

So to see her here now, effectively bookending Midnights fashion in a look that’s dark and ruminating and moonlit and celestial and mysterious yet sparkly and glam and alluring … it feels all the more appropriate on her birthday of all days.

Once again Taylor’s streak for a short skirt and a tall boot continues and I am loving the proportions on her.

It’s very fun as we progress deeper into football season that, by extension, we get to see Taylor’s game day fashion change to reflect the actual seasons of the time as well.

After a two-ish month break, Taylor picked up where the US/Mexico dates of the Eras Tour left off at the end of the summer with a rousing first of three shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina - and with it, new costuming!

Saucy > sporty.
