TAYLOR SWIFT STYLE: TS7 PREDICTIONS

The number one thing I get asked in-between eras is my thoughts on the era that is to come. I’ve answered it over the last few months on the questions blog, I’ve dedicated a Frequently Asked Friday entirely to questions based on my thoughts for Taylor’s upcoming album. But you guys are still curious! So here I’ve compiled a post that I hope addresses every aspect from aesthetic to content that I think/hope the next era entails. With the exception of tour, which I’ll address post-album release. 

I hope you like it, enjoy it, and of course provide your own thoughts and ideas. Particularly if you think there’s something missing I haven’t addressed. 

Either way, I’ll be delighted to be proven right or wrong whenever it is we get to enjoy this next album and to hear your thoughts as well. 

Note: As I’ve chatted with all of you about the kinds of content you’d like to see during an outfit drought, today’s posting is just the first of a dozen TSS 13 Series posts. Published, of course, on the 13th of each month. Requests for a TSS 13 Series is open, as always, on @taylorswiftstylequestions but I have a few things already in mind I hope you’ll all love. 

– Sarah

Release: Summer (August) or Winter (December) 2019. Single release in April or September 2019.

Promo: Full court press. Radio, photoshoots, television appearances, awards shows. Girlfriend is back.

Music: A trip back to her roots as she completes 30 turns around the sun. Acoustic-tinged, chronological storytelling within a song, folk elements made pop and fresh. Think psychedelic appearances of synthesizers in and amongst 12-string guitars à la Kacey Musgraves’ “Oh What A World”.

Lyrics: Life, love, her longest romantic relationship to date, the fickleness of friends and journalists crawling back when the tides of fame turn. The state of her career. Introspection as she gets older. A look back and a look forward. Her physical and mental journey over the course of her career. From country to country-pop to full pop. From Philly to Nashville to New York to … London?

Fashion: 70s trends are everywhere right now. She’s done country girl, country girl in heels, fairy princess, preppy, Audrey Hepburn 50s prim, uber feminine FROW girl, distressed urban chic. 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 and for 2019. Loose, flowing dresses. Woven belts. Well-travelled city cowgirl. Fringe, but tempered with metallic heels. Suede, paired with OTK boots. High waisted denim, boldly patterned and colourful sweaters. Tweed, crochet, oversized aviator sunnies. Goodbye Wayfarers and cat-eyes.

Brands: Chloé, Carolina Herrera, Alberta Ferretti, Coach, Alice + Olivia.  

Beauty: Glowing. Minimal eyeliner. No more cat eye flick (except on stage). All about fluffy lashes, strobe highlight, gorgeous flushing blush.

Hair: Long, textured. Fluffy curtain Brigitte Bardot-esque bangs. Strawberry blonde, soft ginger.

Thanks @taylorschickennugget!

Acne Studios ‘Britta Button Front Shirt’ – $160.00 (sold out)

Well that only took a year. But here we are. The oft-requested, and much inquired about striped button down Taylor wore for her Watch Hill Secret Session has finally been found. 

This was probably my favourite Rep Secret Session outfit so I’m relieved that I can post it in full. The sultry combo of oversized shirt and OTK boots? Kill me. 

Worn with: Giuseppe Zanotti boots

Get the look:

Golden Globes video | January 6, 2019

Public School ‘Velvet-Trimmed Cotton Sweatshirt’ – $345.00

In a video to Golden Globes nominee Elisabeth Moss, Taylor wore a familiar-looking shirt from back when she was promoting reputation in New York City. 

I love the colourful trim that adds a bit of interest to a simple black sweatshirt like this. 

Also worn: With fans in NYC

Get the look:

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1547158357514?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

InStyle Golden Globes After Party | Los Angeles, CA | January 6, 2019

Christian Louboutin ‘Jonatina 85 Sandals’ – $795.00 (similar)

Following the actual ceremony itself, Taylor changed into a second pair of minimalist strappy heels. While extremely similar to the Versace pair she wore with this same gown at the ceremony, it appears Taylor made the switch to these Louboutins for comfort as they have a lower heel than her earlier sandals. 

Worn with: Atelier Versace gown and Lorraine Schwartz earrings and Ofira rings

Get the look:

!function(doc,s,id){ var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = ‘//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1546830938620?cb=’ + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); } if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === ‘object’){ if(doc.readyState === ‘complete’){ window.ss_shopsense.init(); } } }(document, ‘script’, ‘shopsensewidget-script’);

76th Annual Golden Globes | Beverly Hills, CA | January 6, 2019

Versace ankle strap heels 

My favourite kind of heels — a minimalist strappy pair — completed Taylor’s look for tonight. The inset is Penelope Cruz who has worn every shade of these shoes under the sun. It’s my current understanding these pairs are custom made by the Atelier and not available for general sale as Penelope has worn these heels (in various colours) while decked out in Versace gowns.

Lorraine Schwartz earrings
Lorraine Schwartz ring + Ofira ring

As is always the case, Taylor stacked on jewels by her go-to brands Lorraine Schwartz and sister brand Ofira. The stunning drop earrings here are obviously the main attraction. 

According to Taylor’s stylist, the ever-talented Lorraine Schwartz crafted these earrings for Taylor’s last-minute presenters role overnight the evening before the ceremony. 

Worn with: Atelier Versace gown and Versace sandals
