Ok so it goes without saying that i'm a huge Taylor Swift fan! With each album she releases, her style changes considerably. With the 'Red' album she often wore micro shorts with slim fitting tops and teamed the outfit with brogues. Taylor also wore lots of pretty floral dresses and classic red carpet gowns. Next came the '1989' era and Taylor's style changed once more. Later she began dressing a little more edgy, dyeing her hair bleach blonde and experimenting with different silhouettes. And then we get to the present day and Taylor's 'Reputation' tour is in full swing. With the help of her stylist, Joseph Cassell, Taylor has been wearing her edgiest looks to date. All her outfits are fully in tune to the theme of her album. Snakeskin/snake motifs have cropped up several times in her latest looks, as has: camo print, plaid and distressed fabric (bleached materials, ripped/frayed hems). She is regularly seen wearing pieces from French brand Faith Connexion, which has become her go to brand of the year. She also regularly wears: Gucci, Alexander Wang, and her own personal rep tour merch. I have put together a number of outfits, which I would love to see Taylor wear during the 'Reputation Era', especially during her meet and greets backstage on her tour. I have split this into Part 1 and Part 2. What do you think of these looks, perfect for Taylor right?
Outfit 1
Taylor was recently spotted wearing this exact sequinned top from Ashish, but I couldn't resist using it myself for the starting point of this outfit. I have teamed it with a pair of cut-out snakeskin ankle boots from Chloe(need these in my life!), plaid bag from Balenciaga and black denim separates. A snake ring from the official tour merch completes the look.
Outfit 2
This era, Taylor has really played with layering pieces and this skirt from Alexander Wang is perfect for that vibe. It is constructed to look like a shirt tied over a skirt and it works perfectly to create an edgy, yet wearable, daytime piece. A loose fitting, ruched, jersey top from Raquel Allegra compliments the double layering on the skirt. The oversized jacket is from Off-White and adds to the 'tough' look that Taylor has been sporting lately. I paired the look with army boots from Gucci and of course a snake motif bag, also from Gucci...I mean I just couldn't resist.
Outfit 3
Eagle-eyed fans will have spotted that Taylor wore a Fausto Puglisi outfit in her 'LWYMMD' music video. She later, wore a custom Puglisi outfit for a recent street style look whilst out and about in New York. With this in mind, I based this look around a pair of printed Fausto Puglisi biker boots. This style of boot has been Taylor's main choice of footwear this era, opting to wear them as part of her tour outfits. The leather mini skirt is super edgy thanks to the thread detailing, it comes from Saint Laurent, as do the snake earrings. Continuing the snake motif theme, the hoodie is from Gucci and clutch bag from Red Valentino.
Outfit 4
This forth and final outfit, is my favourite of this post. I am a huge fan of London-based brand Rockins and I actually own the snake motif skinny scarf seen below. I knew I had to style it up for this outfit. A frayed plaid shirt is perfect for Taylor and teamed with frayed shorts, with lace details, it's a winning combo! One of my favourite elements of this look, is the leather corset from Zana Bayne. It's quite different for Taylor but works really well with her current style. A Gucci bag, with snake clasp, and studded biker boots from Saint Laurent complete the outfit.
Which is your favourite look from this edit?
Part 2 coming next week!
