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.
Get the look: Nordstrom, $49.97

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!
Worn with: Vanessa Mooney choker

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?).

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!
Worn with: Urban Outfitters pants
Get the look: Banana Republic, $99.97

Urban Outfitters ‘BDG High Waisted Baggy Corduroy Pant’ – sold out (similar linked)
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.

Calzedonia ‘Honeycomb Motif Eco Tights’ – $18.00
Taylor has long loved a subtle design on her tights as a little added pattern ‘oomph’ to her outfit. I was actually immediately reminded of two past instances where she’s paired a plaid skirt with designed tights.
The first back in December 2014 and the other more recently last October.
Worn with: Ralph Lauren bag and Aritzia skirt
