Critically Kind takes on Taylor's fashion
Lover Secret Session | London, England | August 2, 2019
Alexander Wang ‘White Denim Tie Front Skort’ – $395.00
Ladies – have you ever tied a jacket around your waist and then accidentally forgot it somewhere? Problem solved: We have sewn them together in the name of FASHUN.
These are also undoubtedly the same pair of shorts that Taylor wore in this Instagram post.
Worn with: Free People earrings, Rails shirt, and Stella McCartney sneakers
CATS rehearsal
Saint Laurent ‘High Rise Pleated Leather Shorts’ – $3,043.00 (sold out)
The very first sneak peek of Taylor’s participation in the upcoming CATS film (slated for release in December) sees her wearing an all black number during dance rehearsal. The leather shorts here appear to be YSL.
Get the look: Boohoo, $36.00

Leaving her apartment | New York City, NY | June 14, 2019
IRO Paris ‘Sequin Shorts’ – $408.00 $236.00 (on sale)
While Taylor’s look here is a lot of pink, she keeps the look interesting by not only playing with silhouette (a long, boxy blazer; tucked in blouse; voluminous shorts) but also with texture (a wool, a silk, and a sequin) as well as different tones within the same colour family (peach, pink, rose gold, bubblegum). It’s a lot of Lewk, but in my opinion it all works.
I’ll get to those shoes in a hot sec.
Worn with: Saint Laurent jacket + blouse and Kat Maconie sandals
Get the look: ASOS, $48.00

Joseph Cassell/Jessica Jones custom ensemble
As has been the case for all her performance outfits, Taylor’s rainbow burst latest was from the mind of Jessica Jones — this time in close partnership with Taylor’s stylist Joseph.
While I love the commitment to making a statement at the outset of Pride Month, I would have personally opted for the fringe rainbow jacket and perhaps a pair of high waisted white denim. As-is, it feels like it veers far too strongly into a cheesy Crayola wonderland.
But if I could only make two changes it would be to 1) Remove the lace up corsetry detail. Which, in my opinion, was much better employed in this svelte and intentionally sexy reputation-era look during last year’s Biggest Weekend performance. Rendered in this technicolour palette and paired with a basic tee feels off-putting and incongruous. 2) Change those chunky sneakers for her go-to pair of custom Stuart Weitzmans Niki boots. I’ve never been a fan of the latest clunky sneaker trend.
Worn with: Stella McCartney sneakers
FYI: Brendon Urie is wearing a Donna Karan ‘Pride’ tee ($39.50) during the concert.

Balmain ‘Palm Print Stretch Denim Shorts’ – $1,880.00
Nice to see that Taylor hasn’t quite let the palm tree motif go. I like the way she complemented the pastel tones of these beyond on-brand shorts with a pale blue sweater.
Get the look: ASOS, $23.00
