Gant ‘240 Mulberry Street Leather Trench’ – sold out

This leather trench retailed in very limited quantities as part of Gant’s FW2023 capsule launch so it’s sadly no longer available but it cut a very chic, fashun moment for Taylor that I loved seeing her boldly experiment with.

Worn with: Versace bag, Louis Vuitton + Cathy Waterman jewelry, and Stella McCartney boots

Gant ‘240 Mulberry Street Tailored Coat’ – $1,700.00

I mentioned this previously when Taylor last wore a Gant menswear piece (the killa hard launch – if you will) but I knew as soon as I saw those boxy shoulders that this was another mens piece by Taylor’s most recent favourite outerwear brand. And it’s such a smart choice indeed, one that underlines the Americana athleticism of the situation at hand but puts an exclamative “The Man” reminder at the end by opting for a piece from the mens line.

Gant’s 240 Mulberry Street collection is an additional, premium capsule extension of the existing Gant brand – a line meant to honour Gant’s “heritage as pioneers of American Sportswear by taking preppy classics and evolving them into new silhouettes made from the finest fabrics.” See what I said about the perfect fit? Even if the actual fit is intentionally oversized and boxy – another continuing theme for Taylor to unabashedly and confidently take up space as her game day fashion evolves to include bigger silhouettes (thanks to colder weather necessitating wool coats), polished blowouts, and taller heels.

Gant ‘Shearling Jacket’ – $1,700.00
Guest in Residence ‘Waffle Polo in Hunter’ – $445.00 (sold out)
Miu Miu ‘Pleated Check Mini Skirt’ – sold out
Calzedonia ‘Sheer 40 Denier Tights’ – ~~$10.00~~ $5.00 (on sale) [Thanks Anon!]
Saint Laurent ‘Le 5 à 7 Hobo Bag’ – $2,650.00
Reformation ‘River Boot’ – $478.00

Taylor’s love of Gant’s outerwear continues – this time in an oversized shearling jacket that’s a spin on a classic aviator style and feels very cozy wintery and stands as a nice proportional contrast to her (repeat) Miu Miu skirt we previously saw her wear while on a date with Travis in Argentina when one of her shows was rained out and postponed. Taylor also owns this particular mini in another plaid check print.

One thing that I feel like Taylor does often is create interesting, unexpected, colour palettes with her outfits. It’s something she’s done for a long time that feels very classically ‘her’. If it were me, I would have done a sandwich style moment and opted either for the same camel tone as her Saint Laurent bag in both her carry item and boots or perhaps even both a dark chocolate brown to tie into the piping on her Gant jacket. As-is, her ‘ruby’ Reformation boots create a colour (albeit Christmas-y) contrast.

Gant ‘240 Mulberry Street Coat’ – coming soon

It’s always helpful (though a mild style faux pas) when Taylor leaves a label on to make identification a little bit easier. (Note that now is a great time to check – and remedy – if the label sleeves and tacking stitches on your coat vents are intact).

This particular navy coat comes from Gant’s Spring/Summer 2024 offerings (set for release in February) as part of their 240 Mulberry Street capsule collection. The brand so dubbed it as an homage to their creative headquarters in NYC, its storefront is also thoughtfully etched into the buttons of this coat.

A new-to-her brand, Taylor has been wearing a lot of Gant’s stunning coats as of late. This coat marks the second time she’s opted for something from their men’s line. It’s anticipated retail price will be about $800USD.

As always, I love when Taylor plays in sharp contrasts: Fabrics, proportions, price points. Here, it’s the interplay between sweet and girlish pieces like a white flouncy dress or schoolgirl-esque loafers with an oversized literally borrowed-from-the-boys jacket that gives the whole thing a chic, prep school vibe.

Gant ‘G Pattern Collar Sweater’ – ~~$200.00~~ $87.00

Perhaps it’s the combination of the colour palette of this collared sweater paired with wide leg pants but this feels like a throwback to the 70s energy first established in the early days of promotion during the Midnights era. There’s something modern Daisy Jones about it.

I think a pair of wide leg pants a bit more fitted through the waist and hip would have created a more balanced shape for the entire ‘fit. But I do appreciate the autumnal tonal vibes consistent throughout the ensemble.

In terms of creating a consistent fashion story, Taylor’s last two times wearing Gant were as part of significant outings with Travis (the SNL after party #hardlaunch and Chiefs v Jets game). Worth mentioning as we head into yet another KC Chiefs game weekend.

Attending SNL after party | New York City, NY | October 14, 2023

Gant ‘Houndstooth Wool Trench’ – $825.00

How does one dress for a hard launch? For an outing that all parties involved would know would garner headlines, it’s a lot to ask of an outfit.

Stepping out in NYC to make a surprise appearance on SNL in support of Ice Spice, Taylor attended the show’s after parties with Travis Kelce.

Her outfit of choice falls in line as of late with her tendency for luxe neutrals and suiting. This particular choice of outerwear is her third time in recent weeks to opt for Gant – the most recent being her MetLife outfit at the Chiefs v Jets game courtesy of a leather shirt jacket.

Gant is a brand steeped in the American collegiate prep fashion and, since the 70s and changing trends post-war, has had quality clothes informed by athletics and comfort at its core. According to the brand, “As sports activities influenced many creative tailoring features, the demand for a comfortable look continued to spread. GANT shirts helped define the casual-yet-smart look”. What better brand to turn to that nods to both Americana and athleisure to kick off the official public start to a relationship with an NFL player.

The added level of intrigue is Taylor’s choice of outerwear here is from the brand’s menswear line. Pairing it with ultra feminine pieces (a bustier, heels) and wearing it casually one shoulder feels simultaneously powerful yet effortless.

The jacket around her shoulders? Hers.
And in case you forgot, she is The Man.

What a message.

Worn with: Maria Tash earrings, Mazin Jewels necklace, Versace corset, Aupen bag, and Greymer sandals

Gant ‘240 Mulberry Street Relaxed Leather Shirt’ – coming soon (pictured similar)

I’ve mentioned before being a fan of what I call ‘sandwich’ styling – which is to have two similar elements in an outfit bookend a contrasting element. To sandwich is to imbue an outfit with balance. In this case, the blue of her crystallized denim shorts is anchored by a lot of black accessories. Including this edgy leather shirt by #Gant from their upcoming exclusive FW 2023 collection dubbed ‘240 Mulberry Street’ – named after the address of their creative headquarters in NYC.

The impact of this in the context of sandwich styling also works in multiple regards. Proportionally, the longer length of both the jacket and her Louboutin boots (also leather, upping the sandwichification of the ‘fit) offsets the short hem of her shorts. In short – I loved this styling.

You may recall that last week Taylor actually popped into the very same Gant NYC store to purchase a coat on a whim while out with friends. I’d hazard a guess the team was so delighted they sent through this coat as thanks.

Worn with: Logan Hollowell necklace, Area shorts, and Christian Louboutin boots
