Critically Kind takes on Taylor's fashion

Stella McCartney ‘The Beatles Get Back Tie Dye Hoodie’ – $895.00
A double English moment! Just as Taylor collaborated with British designer Stella McCartney to create an exclusive line of merch for her album Lover, Stella also created a line of Beatles merch in – dare I say – Lover-esque colours. Given Stella’s obvious connection to both Taylor and The Beatles, this is a really sweet moment.

Le Monde Beryl ‘Mary Jane Flats in Velvet’ – $390.00
I like how Taylor tempered a more summery dress with fall-like velvet shoes.

Taylor in floral print summery dresses will never get old, truly.

Julia Clancey ‘Lady Boogie Dress’ – $800.00
And that she was! A lady who boogies, that is. In photos posted to celebrate turning 32, Taylor wore a flouncey sequined one-shoulder design by Julia Clancey.
This makes the third dress in recent memory of Taylor favouring a one-shoulder design (the first a David Koma in the “Three Sad Virgins” skit on SNL and the second an Alexandre Vauthier as part of her SNL promo photoshoot). It’s fun to see her wearing new silhouettes and especially when they’re repeated in a short time period. Another unifying concept for all three dresses is the sequin – which isn’t new in Taylor’s world as she’s yet to meet a sparkly dress she hasn’t loved.

Monrow ‘Camo Crew Neck Shirred Dress’ – $130.00 (sold out)
Camo prints always just bring me back to the reputation era so it was charming to see Taylor wear a shirred camo print dress in her latest TikTok/Reel.
Also worn: Recording RED (Taylor’s Version) with Jack Antonoff
Get the look: Old Navy, $12.97

Aritzia ‘Lottie Sweater in Dune Blue’ – $118.00 (sold out)
Much as I will always be a sucker for Taylor in gree(eeeeee)n, I will always readily admit how beautifully pale blue sets off her skin, hair, and eyes.
Get the look: H&M, $24.99
Saturday Night Live after-party | New York City, NY | November 13, 2021
Aquazzura ‘Saint Honore 120 Suede Platform Ankle Boots’ – $895.00

Saturday Night Live | November 13, 2021
IRO Paris ‘Bettina Belted Wool Tapered Pants’ – $460.00 $270.00
While the belt these pants originally come with would have been nice to see I ultimately don’t think I miss the tie-waist and can appreciate the overall minimal outfit as presented.
Worn with: Jonathan Simkhai bodysuit and Bondeye Jewelry ring
Get the look: Massimo Alba, $94.00
Saturday Night Live | November 13, 2021
Jonathan Simkhai ‘Tallia Long Sleeve Jersey Bodysuit’ – $145.00
Yet another outfit I would personally wear in a heartbeat. I personally love a bodysuit in the fall and winter for the ease and no-fuss lines that it creates with zero need for adjustment.
Worn with: Bondeye Jewelry ring and IRO Paris trousers
Get the look: Leith, $39.00
Performing “All Too Well” (10 Minute Version) on Saturday Night Live | November 13, 2021
Alaïa ‘Off The Shoulder Stretch Knit Jumpsuit’ – $3,590.00
Besides being like a totally important designer – it’s always been a personal dream of mine to see Taylor in more Alaïa. This marks her second skintight jumpsuit in recent weeks and between the two I think I like this more unfussy one more.
The slightly retro nod in the off-shoulder design recalls RED (2012) vintage feels.
Also? Her hair? The makeup? Dreamy.
Worn with: Jennifer Zeuner earrings and Loeffler Randall booties
Get the look: Naked Wardrobe, $76.00
