Off season | July 24, 2025

Chrome Hearts ‘Little Dinger Glasses’ - $1,906.00 For Future Reference ‘Vintage 1970s Ancient Bronze Coin Necklace’ - $12,750.00 B Low The Belt ‘Phoenix Leather Belt’ - $155.00 Ofira ‘Tattoo Gold Diamond Ring’ - $3,400.00

The pieces I could most easily discern from this particular photo were some repeat accessories! We’ve previously seen this vintage coin necklace which Taylor has worn on a number of previous occasions. Most notably, the Chiefs 2024-25 season opening game against the Ravens. You’ll also recognize the belt from May 2025 when she paired it with a dark floral Dôen dress. While we can’t see the entire ‘fit here, I’d venture to guess that I might prefer this styling of it. If I could imagine the rest of the lewk, I’m hoping this is a bodysuit tucked into a mini belted skirt worn with tall leather boots and perhaps a blazer. Dream ‘fit! Copy + paste for me!

But the one item that made me laugh the most? The glasses. Mostly because Taylor’s corrective laser eye surgery (or rather should I say the healing from it) is famous.

Moose Knuckles ‘Prado Aviator Jacket’ - $2,195.00 Agolde 'Low Slung Baggy Jeans' - $248.00 Bauer ‘Whistler Skates’ - $119.99

Capturing all weathers and all seasons! From a summery set to a bundled up skating ensemble is this cozy shearling jacket. A boxy piece that notes its “borrowed-from-the-boys” aesthetic then “tailored for the feminine form.” The shearling trim coordinates nicely with her skates don’t you think?

Hunter Bell 'Cosette Dress' - $245.00

One of Taylor’s style pillars is supporting indie brands. I’ve often found items from these types of brands show up in multiples - they’re rarely just one offs. You might remember her string of wearing tons of outerwear by Gant in the Fall/Winter of 2023 as just one example. So when Taylor wore a gingham set by Hunter Bell at TEU last month, I wondered if Taylor would be seen in more of their pieces. Enter this sweet eyelet mini. What immediately struck me by it was actually the name which stirred up some memories. For those who don’t know, many years ago Taylor auditioned to play the roles of both Cosette and Éponine in the 2012 film adaptation of Les Misérables (which would go to Amanda Seyfried and Samantha Barks, respectively).

P.S. My initial instinct was that those sunnies were another deep Taylor(e) pull. Also circa 2012, Taylor’s go-to sunglasses silhouette were Ray-Ban Wayfarers which these bear some resemblance to but I’m not quite sure on (yet!). Naturally, will update!

Dôen 'Joanne Top’ - $498.00 Dôen 'Paige Short’ - $168.00 Jacquie Aiche ‘7 Diamond Kate Smooth Bar Bracelet’ - $5,470.00 Foundrae ‘Medium Sister Hook Bracelet’ - $2,910.00 Foundrae ‘Heart Sealed Gemstone Crest Rose Gold’ - $2,050.00 Novelty Hat Set - $17.99

Aye aye! Besides the fun matching novelty hat, the rest of Taylor’s outfit was very familiar to my eye. Some soft and sweet Dôen pieces (she’s been wearing a lot of them over this summer) mixed with some repeat jewelry she’s worn previously (Jacquie Aiche and Foundrae have been go-tos for her new[ish] love of jewelry stacking). I particularly love the textural play between the crocheted top and pleated cotton pants.

A note that the shorts are my best guess based on the belt loops and the button but they feel right given her recent love of the brand.

LoveShackFancy 'Carletta Top' - $225.00 LoveShackFancy 'Jemila Skirt' - $375.00

This two piece set from LoveShackFancy is very up Taylor’s alley for summer styling. Where a decade ago when she helped to popularize the matching crop top and skirt set the silhouette was often shorter (with a mini a-line / circle skirt), I’ve noticed more midi moments have entered her closet. I’m thinking of instances like her floral Dôen two piece in May or the Hunter Bell gree(eeeee)n gingham at TEU last month. It’s a more relaxed and breezy take on the co-ordinating set for her!

Balmain 'Embellished Frayed Houndstooth Tweed Mini Dress' - $3,490.00 Cartier 'Panthère de Cartier Necklace' - $11,400.00 Rolex 'Vintage Precision Diamond Studded Watch' - not available Aspinal of London 'Mini Trunk Clutch' - $695.00 Christian Louboutin 'Miss Jane Sandals' - $1,100.00

What I momentarily mistook for a classic feminine Chanel tweed is actually a playful houndstooth number from Balmain. This overlap makes sense when you consider designer Karl Lagerfeld’s impact at both houses. From there, my eyes leapt from the bustier-style bodice, the flared pleated skirt, gold hardware details, and frayed elements at the hem and bust. Immediately, this look pulled together the last week of outings. Let’s break it down! 

Take the silhouette of her Reformation top + Miu Miu skirt (June 20), the eyecatching print and button front from her Hunter Bell set at the TEU party (June 23), and the pleats + distressed detailing of her EB Denim dress from the TEU concert (June 24). Add it all together and you get this Balmain moment! While we might be most used to observing fashion sequencing from Taylor at Chiefs games - where developing a playbook of looks for a season is a winning strategy - it’s also nice to see it play out here on a smaller scale with two NYC dinners playing as neat bookends to two football-related events. 

Her Louboutins felt like just the right finisher to me, tying into the bag and also not competing with the statement of the dress. Overall, the look feels like it hits many of Taylor’s signature feminine fashion - a bit vintage, a bit twee, a bit girly, a bit glam.

One of the most fun aspects of Taylor’s fashion, and what I often refer to as one of her style pillars, is her penchant for repetition. Her most reworn category is accessories - jewelry, bags, and shoes typically. Often she’ll get attached to a certain piece and wear it for multiple outings in a row. But in documenting her style for as long as I have, the biggest thrill is when a piece “from the archive” pops up after a period of years. This bag is one of them! 

Taylor last carried it nearly a decade ago while out to dinner in New York City back in September 2016. In going back over the blog, I had a little laugh at my own caption. Back then i originally wrote, “While nude is always a classic staple meant to go with any outfit, I’m not sure how I feel about it against the stark black and white that consists of her whole ensemble. Hopefully she restyles this cute bag with a more pastel-toned outfit.” Nine years later I’d say we got there!

Tight End University concert | Nashville, TN | June 24, 2025

EB Denim 'Polka Dress' - $495.00 Steven Battelle 'Ancient Coin Necklace’ - price varies Ben Amun 'Luigi Bracelet' - $245.00 Ben Amun 'Gianni Bracelet' - $195.00 Deborah Drattell 'Alinda Belt' - $295.00 Jacquie Aiche ‘Sophia Diamond Chain Pavé Ear Cuff’ - $6,500.00 Jacquie Aiche 'Emerald Eyes Marquise Diamond Head Snake Mini Hoop' - $1,440.00 Louis Vuitton 'Side Trunk Bag’ - $3,950.00 Versace 'Medusa 95 Leather Knee High Boots' - $1,990.00

Taylor not only attended but surprised the crowd tonight at the TEU concert by getting up on stage to sing “Shake It Off.” This particular denim dress might look incredibly familiar as it’s a multiple. Taylor wore the blue version of this to the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. The boots are also a rewear, a pair she wore to the Chiefs vs Broncos game during the 2024-25 season (my personal favourite from her second season of looks).

In watching back the videos, I couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed emotionally. As a fan since her eponymous days as a curly headed country singer, there’s something that hits me close to the heart that her first time back on stage wasn’t at an awards show or a sold out stadium. But rather performing in front of an intimate crowd of people in Nashville, just a girl in a dress and boots, playing an acoustic guitar to the songs she wrote about her life. Somehow it really truly was everything.

Last night, Taylor attended a Tight End University party. The annual event, also known as TEU, brings together tight ends across the league to bond and train together. She attended the celebration wearing a green(!) gingham two piece by Hunter Bell, a new-to-Taylor designer. The gingham print feels casual, but the coordination of the set feels put together. Great for a night out in Nashville! And, of course, the colour is perfect.

In my initial search, I happened to see the skirt retails on Anthropologie which really serves as quite a throwback. There was a time in Taylor’s style history when she not only exclusively wore coordinating sets just like this (particularly in a crop top + skirt silhouette) but when she would also snag many pieces from Anthro. One more fun fact? I was a little tickled to see that Hunter Bell launched her eponymous label in 2006. Sounds like someone else I know.

The art of jewelry layering has never been more real. Among that necklace stack, I even noticed one of my recent NFL 2025-26 fashion predictions already coming true (ICYMI, on the newsletter). The last few years, Taylor has taken to piling on pieces and has taken a preference to certain brands. She rewore her stack from her NYC June 20 outing but added her beloved Cartier necklace for extra sparkle. 

Celine is a brand Taylor hasn’t often - read: rarely ever - worn. In fact, a check of the TSS archives tells me this is her first time carrying one of their bags. The fresh white coordinates with both her shoes and the white in the gingham check of her co-ordinating set. 

Outside of editorial shoots, her only other Celine piece was a runway dress worn in the “Fortnight” music video. 

For her shoes, she opted for a summery pair of sandals by Sandy Liang. You might recall Taylor wearing some Sandy Liang pleated skirts in both 2023 and 2024 but this is our first time seeing her in one of their shoes. I loved the bow detail and how it coordinated with the white of her gingham check.

It feels like we’re in an eras shoulder season - the liminal space between the fading twilight of Taylor’s most recent work and the imminent foreshadowing of the work to come. I often get asked questions specific to these purgatory periods. The time between albums when it feels like we’re parsing looks for moments of recognition and hints of what is yet to come. What are the true bookmarks of an era’s signature fashion? When does an era begin and end? When can we expect certain statement pieces to fade out and fresh ones to take their place? Admittedly, I find it’s best (and easiest) to demarcate the borders of an era’s fashion only in hindsight. Partially because we’re flying without knowledge of Taylor’s album release roadmap and also because Taylor’s fashion contains so many girly staples that remain consistent - agnostic of the era. 

In this outfit, I see many elements I associate with TTPD fashion. Note that tiny braid, the piled on necklace stack, and that corset-like boned top! Among that necklace stack, I even noticed one of my recent NFL 2025-26 fashion predictions already coming true! Diving into the fashion credits, Taylor’s steadfast fashion pillars (repetition, high/low, indie designers) come to light. The repeat is her Mansur Gavriel clutch which we last saw in September 2023. The high/low is the direct pairing of a high street top from longtime favourite brand Reformation with a designer skirt from Miu Miu. For those keeping track, this marks her fifth Miu Miu pleated mini skirt. Proof of the power in knowing what you like and sticking to it to build recognition. Although this one appears to be a girlish spin on boxer shorts thanks to its button front and stripe detailing. If I was “The Man” indeed! The one item that feels the most atypical are those pointy patent pumps. Normally, I’d expect Taylor to opt for a platform heeled sandal. The pump is a sleek, unexpected choice. 

The combination of colours and pieces are very Taylor - a quirky blend of shades and shapes. While she’s long loved a mini skirt, I wonder how different this look might feel with loose, pleated trousers or even lengthening of the skirt to a midi length.

Visiting a children's hospital | June 2025

Loewe ‘Cotton Blend Poplin Dress’ - $2,250.00 Louis Vuitton ‘Isola Sandal - $910.00

While in Florida, Taylor took the time to visit the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. It’s a heartwarming thing she’s done often over the years that never stops being endearing. The one item of clothing I most associate with Taylor is a dress. The tie waist silhouette, in particular, is one that Taylor has turned to over the eras especially in her later years. She wore a number of skirts and dresses with this detail during reputation tour meet and greets with fans, at select Lover live performances, and even during her folklore Long Pond session. Her cotton poplin dress - in a beautiful sage greeeeeeeeeeeeen might I add (IYKYK 💚) - felt appropriately summery and breezy. The length and flared skirt gave her the freedom to crouch down and warmly embrace the youngest patients she visited.

The sandals have been updated based on new video! They’re a rewear from her video taken at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, FL ahead of the Eras Tour fall/winter dates in 2024.

Attending Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals | June 12, 2025

Area ‘Crystal Trim Track Jacket’ - $995.00 Area ‘Crystal Embellished Track Shorts’ - $595.00 Chanel '25 Large Handbag’ - $6,900.00 Prada ‘Leather Ankle Boots’ - no longer available

Taylor and Travis appeared at the Amerant Bank Arena to watch the Oilers vs Panthers in the Stanley Cup finals. While a fun surprise, it also makes total sense given Taylor’s recent time spent in the Florida area. It also aligns with her other sporting appearances outside of football, like when the pair took in the U.S. Open finals last year.

Taylor’s Stanley Cup outfit seems to build on her Chiefs game day playbook. She’s worn the brand, Area, to a number of other important football games. Notably, Super Bowl LVIII and her first away game during the 2023-24 season. Both of those ensembles riffed on the brand’s signature studding, which we see here across the front of her jacket and sides of her shorts. The light colouring also feels referential to the more recent Super Bowl LIX. Then, Taylor wore a crisp white blazer, top, and boots. The callback to the momentous final series in a sport’s season feels notable. It creates a visual tie with other significant games she’s taken in. To me, these repeatable style factors underline her approach to game day fashion - even if it’s for a different sport - and extends her recognizable visual brand in this particular setting.

The ‘fit itself? The elasticized elements feel casual and sporty, but the coordination of the set is intentioned and put together. One other thing I immediately noticed? Those Prada boots! She’s worn a number of them over the last few years. Including a black pair to one of her earliest Chiefs games in October 2023 where her hair was also styled similarly into a sleek ponytail and styled with statement jewelry. Taylor wore these cream versions in her photo spread with Billboard in December 2019. If they’re the same pair, it wouldn’t be the first time she’s snagged something from the set of a photoshoot.

Gucci ‘Sequined Cady Tank Top’ - $3,500.00 Gucci ‘Sequined Cady Mini Skirt’ - $2,500.00 De Beers 'Arpeggia One Line Earring’ - $36,000.00 Wove Made x Michelle Wie West 'Custom Diamond Tennis Bracelet’ - $6,875.00 Gucci 'Bamboo 1947 Bag’ - $4,700.00 Gucci ‘Metallic Platform Sandals’ - no longer available (pictured similar)

Taylor was photographed out to dinner with Selena Gomez wearing a Gucci-full black and silver ensemble. To me this felt like a well-coordinated outfit top to bottom with all the pieces harmonizing and speaking to one another. The bamboo handle on her Gucci bag, an iconic design for the brand that’s seen recent reissues in honour of its original first released in 1947, and the diamond studs on her strand De Beers earrings add textural elements that play into the crystal trim of her Gucci set. While the black leather of her bag plays into the matte cady fabrication of the set itself. To me, this makes for great balance.

Taylor has long loved a matching set. Indeed, a coordinating crop top and skirt were the signature look of the 1989 era. Back then, her preferred silhouette leaned more towards a short sleeve crop top and skater skirt. Here, this slimmed tank and tighter mini still feel like classic Taylor, with a slight refresh. And we know she has always loved a sparkle.

The earrings are a repeat Taylor first debuted on the Golden Globes red carpet in January 2024 and has since reworn in a number of street style moments since, notably in December 2024 (sharing those flashbacks to stories!). While red carpet jewels are typically loans, Taylor continuing to wear them in outings like this indicates they’ve moved into her personal collection which the brand also confirmed via press release. The style name “Arpeggia” is a reference to “arpeggio” - the notes of a chord played in succession. De Beers said the suspended diamonds are to mimic the “musical notes on a score.” I’d be remiss if I didn’t note these earrings have 12 diamonds on them. Take that as you will!

I wanted to take my time and sit with Taylor’s announcement of her masters acquisition as we celebrate what a win this is. For Taylor, of course. For fans, naturally. And for artists as a collective moving forward.

I wanted to take my time and sit with Taylor’s announcement of her masters acquisition as we celebrate what a win this is. For Taylor, of course. For fans, naturally. And for artists as a collective moving forward.

In relistening to her discography, a pipeline of quotes came rushing at me. They reminded me how long this battle has been for her and, poetically, how much of her work contains inadvertent nuggets of wisdom that helped her play the long game to get to this moment. Her innate trust in herself, despite odds or norms.

“I had to make the excruciating choice to leave behind my past.” “He’s got my past, frozen behind glass. But I’ve got me.” "Give me back my girlhood it was mine first." “Without your past, you could never have arrived so wondrously and brutally. By design or some violent, exquisite happenstance … here.” “These hands had to let it go free and this love came back to me.” “The best things that have ever been mine … finally actually are.”

I found myself appreciating the images she used to mark the news. No background, no distractions, no hints at the next thing. There’s no need. Outfitted in a neutral and largely inconspicuous outfit. Most details are obscured by her body position and camera angles. Just her and her life’s work. Her seated cross-legged reminds me of her statement following the original sale of her masters in 2019 when she described her art as “music I wrote on my bedroom floor.” Here, placed similarly and finally owning that music feels full circle. The things that “pop” the most are her face and albums. I see this as centering this moment and soaking in that victory. And somehow it really was everything.

rep forever guilt free listening (x) | May 30, 2025

Stella McCartney ‘Felpa Lunga Sweater Dress’ - no longer available

In a video posted by Jack Antonoff on X, Taylor wears a tropical surf print sweater dress by Stella McCartney. The shirt reads “One Love” across the front. Working on details, but given it is sold out I imagine this was from an older collection. Stella is one of Taylor’s longest standing brands and has worn a few uniquely printed pieces by the deisgner in the past.

The video sees the Jack and Taylor celebrating reputation “guilt free listening” and riffs on the viral video of when the pair first wrote this song, as shared in behind-the-scenes videos from the making of reputation.

Welcome to New York, indeed! Since the Super Bowl Taylor has mostly kept a low profile, taking some well-earned rest and travel. She has been spotted intermittently since February while taking her deserved downtime but has mostly flown under the radar. This dinner out in NYC sees our first professional photos captured of her street style in some time.

Taylor historically loves a dress and often for dinners out will opt for a classic LBD (Little Black Dress). Here, she gives an LBD a summery spin with a dark floral midi by Dôen. Since Taylor added a trio of lobe piercings to her ears in summer 2023, she’s loved to accessorize with a jewelry stack - often layering necklaces and bracelets. One of the first things I noticed here was all the layers! By my count four necklaces and three bracelets (right wrist) plus a single chain (left wrist) and a few rings. To my eye, her choice to pick up on both her dress and her jewelry with black pieces accented by gold hardware makes for a cohesive look. The clincher, literally, is the belt which ties in everything neatly thanks to its cascading chain detail. It also serves, along with the dress, as an example of Taylor’s love of a high/low. Styling-wise, I don’t think I’d change a thing. Especially not those strappy Louboutin sandals - I love!

In her stack, I picked up a few repeats immediately. Namely, her Tiffany & Co and Louis Vuitton rings plus her Foundrae crest charm necklace. The one new item I noticed is this luggage charm - a signature piece by London-based brand NeverNot. This also happens to be a new-to-Taylor brand. I couldn’t help but notice the style name “Touch Down.” I imagine this is meant to be a reference to the brand’s love of adventures and travel (other style names in their necklace line include “Jet, Set, Go” and “Globetrotter” plus each luggage necklace has an airplane tag attached to it) but I imagine to Taylor it may have doubled as a fun football reference, too.

Of course, what this outfit will always be intrinsically tied to in my mind is it being the eve of Taylor sharing the successful purchase of her masters and life’s work. With that hindsight in mind, I couldn’t help but zero in on the ‘Phoenix’ style name and how, much like one, we always know Taylor will rise from the ashes. And, perhaps this is a stretch, but I couldn’t help but notice the colours of her dress and how closely these flowers, a symbol of getting their due, closely correlate to the shades associated with her front discography. 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤

One of my favourite factors of game day fashion is how it creates the perfect vacuum for a style case study. There are constants and constraints when dressing for a repeatable event like this. Factors that make it so you can create a storyline of outfits that unfold over a period of time that each uniquely stand on their own, but that also create an opportunity to have them “speak” to one another. 

A Blazer of Glory: Taylor in a blazer and thigh high boots is my version of winning the Super Bowl. If I were to pick a staple in my own closet - and an item I always get a thrill seeing Taylor wear - it’s a blazer. So I was delighted to see her in one (even briefly) that’s sharp, chic, and that sandwich styles with her OTK white boots. While I personally love it and am delighted we got some footage of her wearing this polished layer, I actually think this look says a lot more without it. Sans blazer, the combination of a white tank and denim shorts immediately brought to my mind the images of her very first Chiefs game ever. Back then - September 2023 - Taylor wore a soft white eyelet trim tank top by Doen paired with washed black denim shorts by Ksubi. This ensemble is like a reference to that. With some distinct elevated upgrades to illustrate how far we’ve come since then, of course. Like some fierce stiletto boots > sneakers and sparkly shorts > distressed shorts. 

I Like Shiny Things: In addition to letting her bejeweled, the shorts reference some of the most significant milestones in Taylor’s tenure as sportsball spectator. Combined with her white tank, the outfit resembles her very first game day ensemble from September 2023. Though her denim then, by Ksubi, was distressed over embellished. They also nod to her 2024 season opener jean shorts by Grlfrnd - thigh high boots included. Most importantly, they make a great year over year comparison to the crystal trim denim pants by Area worn to her first Super Bowl — last year’s LVIII. 

Re-e-e-d: For the minutest amount of red, Taylor accessorized her outfit with a ‘Nano’ bag by Givenchy. According to my archives via TSS, this is a first for her to carry the brand via a bag. As is typical for Taylor’s game day fashion, most of her jewelry was also rendered in stones coloured Chiefs red. The piece that most caught my eye was her hand chain and how it riffs on her recent love of unique chain jewelry, including a certain thigh chain that was repurposed into a necklace here.

A Coat That’s Almost Famous: One glance at that trim and I knew we were looking at a Charlotte Simone coat. The designer is is known for her fluffy, glam outerwear. This also marks Taylor’s third time wearing one of Charlotte’s coats and a second time this weekend we’ve been given a fashion flashback to Taylor’s 2024-25 NFL season of looks. You might recall that Taylor wore a Charlotte Simone coat to the Chiefs vs Texans game right before Christmas. The night prior to this, Taylor rewore a pair of earrings that made their debut in the Chiefs 2024-25 season opener against the Ravens.

On Repeat: Much like her coat, there were a few recognizable repeat elements to Taylor’s outfit while out in NOLA the eve of the Super Bowl. Her necklace and ring are both repeats that Taylor previously wore in October 2024 while out to dinner in New York City. Incidentally, both back in October and here she styled this jewelry pairing with a new Dior bag. Her previous Dior bag - a matte black saddle style - was reworn when Taylor attended the Chiefs vs Buccaneers game. Is this a possible indicator we’ll see this ‘Journey’ bag today? Taylor’s game day bag last year was a sequinned football with an ’87’ on it so this might be a bit too subtle for such an occasion, but the name does make me think it would be a sweet nod to the “journey” of making it through another season to get to this final, culminating championship game.

The most interesting repeat of all are those boots. From what I can glean (the photos from the evening aren’t the highest of quality), these are Taylor’s suede ‘Candy’ platform boots from Saint Laurent. She owns the ‘Candy’ style in two versions - an embellished pair and the pictured suede. These particular boots haven’t been seen in her closet since August 2017. I personally love when we get “archival” pulls from Taylor’s closet like this - it’s a reminder that she keeps things and loves a repeat/rewear. The 2017 of it all, I’ll leave with you to think on. To me this all adds up to double down on my theory that her game day outfit on Sunday will have other callbacks (call them sentimental or superstitious) to items worn on other game days this season — or perhaps even from last year’s Super Bowl.
