Critically Kind takes on Taylor's fashion

Reformation ‘Cashmere Polo Sweater’ – $168.00
For me, one of the most fun things about album rollout is picking up repeat patterns and motifs in Taylor’s fashion. The items and silhouettes and little details that feel special to that era and to that time. For RED it might be a kitten heel. For 1989 it’s probably a crop top. You get the gist.
Sometimes those elements aren’t as seamless in transitioning to a ‘normal persons’ wardrobe in their everyday life. But as someone who has always loved a blazer, loved structure, loved the polish of an oxford button up, or the strong lapel of a coat—the recurring detail of collars in her Midnights fashion in so many different ways has been so fun to see continue to crop up.

Dodo Bar Or ‘Brad Striped Bodysuit’ – $203.00 (sold out)
I obviously have many thoughts and even more feelings about Midnights and a lot of fashion to catch up on. I’m hopeful to share both as I continue to listen and enjoy and process this album and this incredibly fun rollout!

Free People ‘Renata Fur Coat’ – $168.00
It isn’t the 70s without some kind of shag moment. This is a very fun lavender-adjacent moment (that I suspect is part of a music video lewk?).

Reformation ‘Leone Cashmere Sweater Mini Dress’ – $278.00
I’m a big lover of stripes, though I usually gravitate towards those in more neutral tones. For Midnights, however, and the gentle lean towards 70s-inspired fashun—this multi-color stripe is very fun and feels like a lovely nod to that. Not only because of the context of something slightly more laidback and casual, I think not opting for an opaque/matte red lip was the right call. The pink here is softer and sweeter.
Taylor first wore this dress in a recent Spotify video but it’s nice to get a much bigger picture of it in this new behind the scenes video for her song with Lana Del Rey.

The Row ‘Eglitta Corduroy Wide Leg Pants’ – $990.00
Love the mix of warm autumnal tones here. The warm cinnamon rusted red and brown are like falling leaves. Also as a 70s staple, cords continue to reign supreme in Midnights fashion. As they should.
Get the look: Hue, $50.00

Cuyana ‘Mini Hoop Earrings’ – $148.00
A chunky gold almost huggie-style hoop is a great everyday staple, imo.

Re/Done ‘60s Wool-Blend Plaid Sweater Vest’ – $365.00
Sweater vests have been largely trending the last year or so, and as always it’s fun to see Taylor dip her toes into a trendy fashion item as she does so sparingly. The warm tones and 60s/70s librarian energy are strong here. Which is to say I’m obsessed.

Reformation ‘Cashmere Polo Sweater’ – $168.00
I’ve been obsessed with polo sweaters this fall so I’m delighted to see Taylor wearing one here. I just love the little bit of polish and structure a collar adds to a cozy sweater.
