Patou ‘Le Petit Patou Bag’ – $795.00

I take joy, in equal measure, seeing Taylor rely on tried and true brand favourites as much as I do when she branches out to wear (or carry) new-to-her brands like this one by #Patou.

In terms of colour, I actually like the midtone balance this stone grey bag casts on the rest of her ‘fit (which is already receiving sandwich style coordination from her black baseball cap and black oxfords). Introducing a neutral to bridge the gap between her crisp white button down and other black accessories feels like a good balancing point.

The Row ‘Sisca Shirt’ – $1,817.00

As a personal lover of stripes, this crisp button down really speaks to me. I like how the cooler-toned stripes here correlate neatly with the blue chambray-like quality of her skort.

Malone Souliers ‘Chunky Sole Lace Up Shoes’ – $1,031.00

Taylor has worn many iterations of the laceup oxford flat over the years.

What brings this particular outing into the modern day (or shall I say throwback trend way) is the accessorizing with ruffly, exposed socks and the chunkier, lug sole (her past preference for oxford flats was more streamlined).

Vintage Philadelphia Eagles sweatshirt
Chris Stapleton ‘Green 47 Hat’ – $30.00
Catbird NYC x Phoebe Bridgers ‘Kissing Skull Friend Charm Set’ – $130.00
Adidas x Ivy Park ‘Savage V4 Sneakers’ – $125.00 (sold out)

Taylor was spotted out in New York appearing to be low-key and sporting some of her most charming personal interests as fashion in one very Princess Diana athleisure-driven outfit.

A Philly Eagles sweatshirt denoting her lifelong love of the team and her home state (and a certain lyric in “gold rush”), a Chris Stapleton (fanmade) hat as reference to his guest vocals on “IBYTAM” (and perhaps beyond?), and a friendship necklace from Eras Tour opener Phoebe Bridgers’ collaborative collection with New York-based jeweller Catbird NYC (a collection we already know she’s worn and loved).

Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) | July 7, 2023

Capezio ‘Leather Juliet Shoe’ – $42.00

I’ve often seen it said in the past that the lines between Taylor’s fashion demarked by eras is the most blurred at the cusp between Fearless and Speak Now. So it’s all the more interesting to see this next fashionable moment in Speak Now TV’s reclamation to include a subtle homage to Fearless and its neverending “Love Story”.

I personally like to think of Speak Now as that precipice moment. The album that crystallized the falling from the ivory tower. That fleeting moment as a princess realizes the fairytales she once dared to dream perhaps were nightmares after all. It’s the start of a disillusionment with grandeur, yet still hopelessly scrabbling to hold on to something optimistic, dreamy, whimsical, and innocent.

Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) | July 7, 2023

Reem Acra Spring 2022

The Speak Now TV photoshoot continues to pull through with its thoughtful homages to the original cover. If you’ll recall, both the original front and back covers of Speak Now (2010) saw Taylor wear two of the designer’s soft, frothy gowns from their Spring 2007 collection.

This iteration is an equally soft, romantic, and whimsical pull from Spring 2022. What a beautiful closed loop.

Worn with: Capezio flats

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

This is our first time (from my knowledge) seeing Taylor wearing Cartier out and about in her street style. Her previous instances with the brand have exclusively been in photoshoots.

This particular style is vintage from the ’80s.

Anine Bing ‘Waylon Slides’ – $450.00

I love an outfit that carries consistent colour tones throughout. It’s a simple and underrated styling trick.

This outfit is anchored by a lot of black via her dress, belt, and shoes with secondary neutrals courtesy of her brown tortie sunglasses and cognac bag, plus a subtle sparkle via the gold hardware of her jewelry, belt, and sandal buckles.
