Critically Kind takes on Taylor's fashion
Midnights album photoshoot | October 21, 2022
Chloé ‘Kurtys Platform Mary Jane’ – $895.00 $402.75
Will always love a Chloé moment! I got a weird familiarity tingle looking at these and they reminded me a little of these old Modcloth mary janes she wore a few times during the RED era.

Urban Outfitters ‘BDG Grayson Polo Sweater’ – sold out
This photo really feels like the final manifestation of all my previous hopes for Taylor’s fashion. The hair, the dewy neutral makeup, the fun mix of textures and materials rendered in a retro 70s-inspired packaging.
Dreamy! Sighs!

Though this journey hasn’t even fully begun yet, I want to say that I’ve had the most rewarding and delightful time documenting the Midnights fashun we’ve seen thus far.
In case you missed it, back when we were quaintly calling Lover ‘TS7’, I made an entire prediction post dreaming of a crochet-filled, 70s-inspired, corduroy and paisley, dreamy retro era supported by a valiant return to media, interviews, and appearances.
Quoting that post now feels like a true full circle moment.
“Colour palettes ranging from burnt terracottas to pastels to maximalist super saturated patchwork colours. The colours of a dying sunset and the earth. Coming back to ground and nature. A representation of her coming back to “roots” — but making it Taylor … Suede, paired with OTK boots. High waisted denim, boldly patterned and colourful sweaters.”
It’s been a delight—and we’re truly only at the starting line. I look forward to listening to this album in just a day’s time and for the rest of this era to unfold. Including many more corduroy pieces (hopefully still available for sale) like this one to come.
Worn with: Urban Outfitters top

See by Chloé ‘Ruffled Stripe Gauze Top’ – $450.00 (sold out)
If you know me you know that I have not only been waiting a long time for a TS70s aesthetic to come to life, but that I love seeing Taylor in Chloé.
All that to say that the Midnights photoshoot is one of the best things to ever happen. The rich textures, the distinctly retro silhouettes, the Stevie Nicksification of her hair contrasted with her glam eye makeup, the commitment on behalf of whoever decorated this set to really create that dingy 70s motel mood. Combined it’s all just really incredible and I’m so grateful.
