H&M ‘Crochet Top’ – sold out

This laidback look feels like not only something appropriate to the new beachified 1989 (Taylor’s Version) which happens to come out in a week – but is also an example of the accessibility of Taylor’s style. Not only for the brands she selects (like H&M – a brand she used to wear in her early years alongside other accessible street style retailers like Forever 21, Brandy Melville, and Urban Outfitters) but also because this is an outfit that is easy to replicate even if you don’t have the exact pieces.

A claw clip, white crochet top, straight leg jeans, and a brown bag all feel easy to lift from one’s own closet and feel that much ‘closer’ in a sense to Taylor.

Jean Paul Gaultier ‘Fleurs Petit Grand Print Mesh Top’ – $320.00

JPG is well known for their figure forming mesh pieces. I am well known for my love of Taylor wearing green. In this particular instance, I think we all could have done a bit better.

One of their most memorable being their horizontal stripe illusion motif that recurs as a mainstay in their designs spanning decades. This particular top is from the French brand’s Summer 2023 collection titled ‘Flowers’ – drawing inspiration from its 2000s archives.

In theory, the decision to style simply here with a black skirt and boots was the right call but I think a full tuck of the shirt and a more streamlined, taller pair of boots would have made a huge difference.

Worn with: Maria Tash earrings, Alessandra Camilla Milano earrings, Balenciaga corset, Roger Vivier bag, Khaite skirt, and Louis Vuitton boots

Get the look: Free People, $74.29

Versace ‘Medusa Detail Corset’ – $1,750.00

Taylor’s second corset/bustier moment in the last week. I personally love the combination of something more inherently sensual and feminine combined with menswear and tailoring. To me it exudes a level of comfort and confidence and ease that’s powerful and admirable.

The gold strap detailing also is a great tie in to her latest approach to more is more with gold jewelry – tones of that also layered her throughout the outfit to create a consistent level of shine throughout.

The iconic Medusa motif is one signature to Versace, present as one of the house’s most key design pieces. It’s inclusion here is a double whammy reference to the Eras Tour, where Versace opens her concert looks, and also continues to underline a story of feminine reclamation, strength, and power.

And, well, the snake backstory of it all is a bit on the nose isn’t it.

Worn with: Maria Tash earrings, Gant coat, Mazin Jewels necklace, Aupen bag, and Greymer sandals

Get the look: Urban Outfitters, $44.99

Free People ‘Daydreamer Shania Twain Any Man Of Mine Tee’ – $88.00

The combination here of evoking a few different icons of fashion (peak fall athleisure Princess Di) and genre busting (the iconic and incomparable country/pop of Shania Twain) plus a Karma-worthy accessory denoting that she is Still Here (plus that not so subtle reminder to any man who may enter her life) … that’s some impeccable candid styling.

Worn with: Still Here hat, Louis Vuitton bag, Free People socks, and New Balance x Ganni sneakers

Gabriela Hearst ‘Nevin Cashmere and Silk Tank Top’ – $490.00

As mentioned, this silk cashmere top acts as yet another textural fabric moment in this ‘fit that makes each piece pop against each other, even when existing in a relatively monochrome palette. The pointelle knit here keeps things a little more breathable, even when a pair of pants (albeit breezy ones made from linen) and heavy leather boots dominate the outfit.

Worn with: Ralph Lauren hat, Yuzefi bag, Vince pants, and The Row boots

Hill House Home ‘The Scallop Lace June Nap Top’ – $125.00
Hill House Home ‘The Scallop Lace Delphine Nap Skirt’ – $175.00

If Taylor is in this area attending the event she’s rumoured to be (a very close friend’s wedding) then this is incredibly chic wedding guest attire. She looks just lovely and also doesn’t it feel wildly long overdue to see her in something from the cult fave ‘Nap’ collection from Hill House?

Worn with: Aupen bag and Stuart Weitzman sandals
