Favourite Outfits of 2018: Taylor Swift Style
As I started creating this list, I felt that despite all that Taylor accomplished this year that I was running into the same issue I did last year with a lack of outfits to choose from. This year, the list is indeed a bit shorter but I’m hopeful that next year Taylor will hit the promo circuit once again for her next body of work and I’ll have the opposite conundrum: too. many. outfits.
Like a lot of tour years, this year our greatest look into Taylor’s ongoing style to define the era came from Rep Room photos which were dominated by a single brand: Faith Connexion. Here there was tons of distressing, camo, and of course snake insignia.
It was an interesting and unique year where Taylor experimented with a style many of you felt extremely untrue and the furthest removed from the signature feminine style that she had only gently morphed and played around with in years previous. But what I find particularly interested about the reputation era is the peeks of softness that Taylor allowed throughout the year to come through in her style. This felt like a very appropriate physical embodiment of the album itself which juxtaposes the hard, tough crystallization of her “maneater” image with the true, soft underbelly of emotions and authenticity that lies beneath.
And on that inward-thinking note, as always, I want to thank all of you for supporting TSS in all the ways that you know how. Liking, reblogging, commenting, following, or quietly observing from your corner of the internet. It means everything. And to know that you’ve all truly outdone yourselves to donate not only your time into this blog but your hard-earned money to help me achieve a personal goal of mine for the blog? I truly have no words. (PS Look for that domain change coming soon).
Now, with that.
Let’s get this list started.
