Louis Vuitton ‘Strap Detail Mini Wrap Skirt’ – $3,400.00

As we approach the end of the year and I start to turn my gaze backwards on 2023’s fashion to pull together my annual list of Favourite Outfits, in addition to really thinking about what ‘fits to include on my last of faves I also like to think about trending items and patterns that crop up.

All this to say that I feel like in looking back on this year, one such trend might just be the mini skirt. Taylor has worn many over the course of her career, but she’s really been rocking many this fall at least – especially paired with tall boots.

’Stuart Weitzman ‘Vidaland Boot’ – $995.00’

Two main things of note with these (incredible) OTK boots.

As noted by the distinctive tie at the back and confirmed to me by the brand these are Stuart Weitzman boots. While Taylor has worn this brand many times over the years, for me they have an unshakeable place solidly in the 1989 Era for their sponsorship of that album’s associated tour and providing many a heel for Taylor to strut in on the 1989 Tour stage. Which feels appropriate given the recent release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

Secondly, what I find so fun to watch regarding Taylor’s game day fashion evolution has been observing her growing confidence and power as she grows more comfortable entering these football stadiums as guest and watcher. Her first foray saw her in casual denim shorts and sneaker – unassuming and laidback and sweet. To me, opting for a big coat (wintry weather aside) and tall black leather boots feels powerful and sure. It evokes a voluminous and large presence that cannot be ignored and demands to be seen.

Cartier ‘Agrafe Herringbone Twisted Necklace’ – $27,250.00

This now marks yet another occasion where Taylor is using her beloved vintage Cartier necklace as a standout jewelry piece to really pop against a black base.

Since acquiring it in May when she debuted it with a simple, black jersey tank dress, she’s also worn it over a high neck LBD and coat in New York. For this occasion, it really stands out against her high neck black top and framed by that vibrant red teddy coat.

Stella McCartney ‘Belted Teddy Coat’ – $2,400.00

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. As a result, we get to see her rocking on-brand Chiefs red via her outerwear like this cozy teddy coat by Taylor go-to Stella McCartney.

The rest of her outfit was sleek and minimal black. The choice to go with a bun also felt like a wise one for me to let the mockneck of her top and the volume of her coat have room to breathe and occupy most of the visual look.

RENAISSANCE: A Film By Beyoncé premiere | London, England | November 30, 2023

Anita Ko ‘Large Pear Diamond Drop Earrings’ – $32,150.00
Anita Ko ‘Quinn Graduated Pear Diamond Drop Earrings’ – $13,500.00
Anita Ko ‘Triangle Eternity Ear Cuff’ – $3,850.00
Anita Ko ‘Diamond Twist Ring’ – $10,625.00
Anita Ko ‘Princess Eternity Ring’ – $4,775.00

To coordinate with her silver metallic look, it only made sense for Taylor to stack on the white gold jewelry. Since adding a few new lobe piercings to hear ears in August (two in the right, one in the left) this is her first red carpet appearance that changes out her stack.

All her jewelry was courtesy of Anita Ko who Taylor has worn on a number of red carpet appearances since 2022 including this year’s MTV VMAs and iHeartRadio Awards. Another fun crossover moment? Anita Ko also provided jewelry for last year’s 2022 MTV EMAs – the last time that the Giuseppe Zanotti heels Taylor wears here were worn.

RENAISSANCE: A Film By Beyoncé premiere | London, England | November 30, 2023

Giuseppe Zanotti ‘Lilibeth Slingback Stiletto Sandals’ – $750.00

As a lover of the minimalist sandal, these peep toe slingbacks by Giuseppe Zanotti were a win for me – but I did briefly wonder why she may have opted for something black instead of a coordinating silver metallic to match her dress. My suspicion is these were chosen to match the lining we see on the dress and blend in nicely to let the “mirrorball” aspect of the gown be the star of the show.

RENAISSANCE: A Film By Beyoncé premiere | London, England | November 30, 2023

Balmain custom

When it became apparent that Taylor was going to repay the favour Beyoncé did her by also appearing at the ‘Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé’ London premiere, it felt all but certain she would appear in an appropriate #RenaissanceSilver gown – and oh did she deliver.

I personally have a soft spot for a column gown and the clean, elegant silhouette it offers. One of my previous all time favourite Taylor red carpets happens to be a silver metallic column gown (the Gucci Première gown of the 2014 Grammys).

Where that Grammys look was styled almost sweetly with a ponytail, soft smoky eyes, and a pink nude lip – this take on a silver gown brings more Hollywood glam thanks to the deep side part, sexy waves, and bold red lip. To my eye, it actually feels like a great continuation of the retro glam girl aesthetic we first were served at the outset of the Midnights era – which feels appropriate given the release of “You’re Losing Me” doesn’t it?

The gown also contains references to Balmain’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection, as seen in the rosette detail on the left bust and strap. Olivier Rousteing, creative director of Balmain, said that the floral motif throughout the collection was to deepen the house and its identity with French luxury. “These roses have thorns, you know?” he said. “The Balmain rose cannot just be a romantic rose. There is also toughness and strength. So it’s about love, it’s about colors, happiness and joy. But it’s also about torment! Just because you are tormented it doesn’t mean you need to do a black collection.” It’s very Swiftian.

Of course, as per usual – Taylor thinks of everything when it comes to selecting the designer to bring a look to life. Balmain having played a pivotal role in many of Beyoncé’s looks that she wore on the Renaissance World Tour. What a thoughtful homage to create that design crossover that beautifully pays respect to the many silver custom looks Bey wears on her stage while still feeling entirely Taylor. Very well played.

“You’re Losing Me” via Jack Antonoff’s Instagram | December 5, 2021

Rachel Antonoff ‘Rainbow Cookie Sweater’ – $295.00

To celebrate “You’re Losing Me” finally being added to streaming, co-writer and co-producer Jack Antonoff shared a new (old) personal photo of Taylor.

She happens to be wearing a charming sweater featuring a rainbow cookie that’s designed by Jack’s sister – Rachel Antonoff.

This feels like a moment a very long time in the making to see Taylor wear one of her designs. To see it come to life captured in what’s clearly a very personal home moment ahead of writing one of her most vulnerable songs feels all sorts of soft.

25 Gifts for Swifties That Never Go Out of Style

The 25 Best Taylor Swift Gifts Will Never Go Out of Style

Curated with the help of a Taylor Swift style expert

With every Taylor Swift sighting in 2023—out to dinner, at a football game, out to dinner with the guy from the Chiefs—the singer gives fans a window into her personal style and inspiration for holiday shopping. According to Sarah Chapelle, creator of the fashion identification site Taylor Swift Style (@taylorswiftstyled on Instagram) and author of a forthcoming book on Swift’s relationship with fashion, Taylor Swift’s style is defined by three pillars: a high-low mix of luxury designers and more accessible, high-street brands, a habit of rewearing the same pieces multiple times, and a love of supporting small businesses alongside globally recognized brands. “This trifecta works in tandem and, I believe, supports her natural inclination and taste in style but also helps to project [her] friendly, approachable image,” Chapelle explains.

It’s also highly shoppable. The high-low mix in Swift’s wardrobe and beauty routine means there are plenty of Swift tested-and-approved gifts to purchase ahead of the holiday season. “In addition to official merchandise—there are a few rare pieces that have their own cult-like status—Swifties are typically motivated when one of Taylor’s fashion exacts is priced more accessibly than the haute couture designer goods,” Chapelle says.

…

If you really want to put in the research for your favorite Swiftie, consider shopping secondhand for a piece Swift wore in a past era. “[I]f someone managed to find a secondhand exact piece from Taylor’s fashion archives that I’ve loved,” Chapelle notes, “that would be such a great gift for someone like myself who has a highly detailed fashion index going back years.” (For any friends reading, Chapelle’s most wanted are a green Elie Saab bag and a Topshop coat Swift wore in 2014.)

…

Ahead, shop the 25 best Taylor Swift gifts for fans of every era, onstage and off. The lineup ahead includes Chapelle-recommended pieces worn by Swift, my personal favorites from Swift’s recent street style, and items inspired by Swift’s expansive musical catalog.
