Stella McCartney ‘Rectangular Sunglasses’ – $310.00
Stella McCartney ‘Frayme Medium S-Wave Flap Shoulder Bag’ – $1,530.00
Simkhai ‘Pandora Embellished Skirt’ – $390.00
Chanel ‘Back to College Loafer’ – $1,350.00

This skirt, when paired with a very closely matched top (getting shades of black to match is so hard), gives the appearance of a dress when it is actually sneaky separates.

Taylor has rocked many all black ensembles over the years and it’s always been the chicest complement to her red lip.

The repeated motif of chains here could certainly have a more symbolic read, but I like it purely as a styling detail that keeps the outfit cohesive but distinct.

Taylor has long been a lover of a loafer and worn many over the years. Leather, suede, heeled. The choice to wear Chanel, on the other hand, is more unfamiliar territory. She’s worn the French house often enough when styled for photoshoots, but rarely in her street style. I can actually only think of two Chanel footwear instances in all my years documenting her fashion. A pair of black leather oxfords (worn multiple times in 2012 – it has its own dedicated tag here) and one pair of cap toe bow heel pumps (December 2014).

Get the look: Sunglasses, $14.89 / Skirt, $62.13 / Loafers, $64.43

Chanel ‘Vintage Chain Belt’ – $658.00 (similar)

It’s funny as I had just recently talked about Chanel being a painfully underused brand for Taylor — only for her to shortly thereafter hit the red carpet with some intertwined C’s on this chain belt. 

I’ve been informed this was picked up at a vintage luxury goods store in NYC. 

Worn with: Rixo dress, EF Jewelry + Beladora + Djula rings, and Aquazzura sandals

Get the look: Vince Camuto, $14.97

Chanel archive jacket

An interesting move by the British Vogue team to start a new decade by looking to the past. Specifically, the Chanel archives with one of their iconic tweed/boucle style jackets. According to editor in chief Edward Enninful, the choice was to place the magazine amidst the growing conversation of sustainability in fashion and the role of a consumer in the issue of climate change at large.

They inadvertently also made my dreams come true by featuring Taylor in more Chanel — a brand woefully underused by her.

Chanel Fall 2019 pants

Again, there’s so much tension and movement in this photo. Plus that headtilt and search to bask in a form of light. I want to hope that this is a symbolic representation of Taylor and the breaks of sun peeking through the stormclouds that must have been her hivemind when writing for Lover.

That said, these Audrey vibes are what I’m getting from this photo. 

Worn with: Hermes shirt and Maximum Henry belt

Get the look: Reiss, $179.00
