Dorothee Schumacher ‘Sleeveless Jacquard Top’ – $280.00
Dorothee Schumacher ‘Graphic Statement Flared Pants’ – $520.00

I will always love a suited moment and I think there are so many fun aspects to this that I love. The black and white palette, the high neck of the top, and the general chevron pattern.

For a television moment, I feel like this print overload could come across as a bit dizzying and overwhelming. And sure, a simple swap of the top to a black one would have pared back the print overload enough. 

But I think she actually pulls off this print well – and it’s also so fun but with a slightly retro 70s nod with the power shoulder and flared shape of the pants. By creating a big block of pattern throughout her entire body that is almost overwhelming in its graphic overload – it actually forces you to look at her face for a respite. And I kind of love that in the craziness if you needed a second of calm for your eyes, that her face is where you need to rest to get it – especially because that high neckline stops just at her jaw.

Truthfully my only major complaint is that she should have quickly unbuttoned her jacket when going to sit down. Not just for a more comfortable seating experience for her, but also a cleaner line for still images. 

Worn with: Nick Horey, Sara Shala, and EF Collection jewelry and Jimmy Choo boots

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.

Worn with: Rouje earrings

Also worn: “Labyrinth” Midnights Mayhem

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!
