Taylor Swift’s Style: Her Best Outfits & Where to Buy Them

Wondering how to dress like Taylor Swift? The first step is to lower your expectations: Although she’s arguably the biggest pop star in the world, she mostly shops like a regular person. You’ll find designer labels like The Row and Jean Paul Gaultier in her wardrobe, but her day-to-day wardrobe essentials are often from more approachable brands you probably already frequent, including Reformation, Free People, and Mansur Gavriel.

She styles them, too, like any other person, wearing eyelet tops with denim skirts, summer sets with walking sandals, and short dresses with knee-high boots. Were it not for the swarm of paparazzi around her at all times, you’d be forgiven for thinking she’s any other person on the street—and that’s the brilliance of her personal style. She’s not above her fans; she’s right there with them.

While we’ve already tracked down Swift’s smudge-proof lipstick, it’s high time we break down the musician’s personal style, too. These aren’t Eras tour outfits; these are the silhouettes and staples Swift turns to when she’s off-duty, meaning they’re the easiest to copy at home. Here’s how to dress like Taylor Swift, featuring 10 key outfits (plus some specific pieces) that define the star’s style. Shop while you listen to The Tortured Poets Department.

Swift leans toward simple looks in general—she’s not a high-fashion kind of person—and this one is a prime example. While the fluttery Dôen top she’s wearing here has long since sold out, you can easily get the same look at Free People. Meanwhile, that denim skirt appears to be this exact model from Free People. To keep things from skewing too casual, she turned to woven loafers; try fisherman sandals, ballet flats, or slim loafers, depending on what you have in your wardrobe.

Pairing what appears to be two Reformation pieces—both of which are still in stock, by the way—Swift went full office siren with this dressed-up look. With a slim belt and cherry red sandals in tow, she could be heading to the office or to drinks with friends; you’ll look just as polished.

We cannot stress this enough: Reformation is the backbone of Taylor Swift’s wardrobe. While the $98 Ref sweater dress she wore on the streets of New York last fall has long since sold out, you can pick up a lookalike on Amazon. Thankfully, the croc-embossed boots from this outfit (also from Ref) are very much available. Think of this as the ultimate high-low look for days off.

Swift doesn’t avoid high-end brands altogether; here, she wears a trendy (and now-sold-out) Jean Paul Gaultier mesh top with ease. You don’t need to get the exact same one to channel the pop star’s going-out look; just pick up a sheer top that speaks to you, then pair it with a faux-leather skirt and your favorite dancing-friendly footwear. Your Reputation era looks good.

Many of Swift’s outfits wouldn’t look out of place on a college campus (in the best way). This polo dress-tall boot combo is equestrian and academic—not to mention easy to recreate at home. If you have the coin for the same Stella McCartney dress, go for it, but Nordstrom has a much cheaper alternative for your transitional wardrobe.

Even if you’re down bad crying at the gym, this sporty ’fit will keep you looking good. We tracked down the exact Shania Twain T-shirt Swift is wearing here—paying homage to the greats—and while those New Balance x Ganni sneakers have long since sold out, a very similar pair is still available. (Just don’t forget those cute ruffle socks, another Swift staple.)

The musician isn’t afraid to throw things back to the ’70s, so neither should you. Lean into the best of the decade with a faux-leather blazer and a corduroy skirt; while she’s wearing a black tube top and red boots, you can feel free to get creative with your styling. Why not a tank top and loafers instead?

While we have a special place in our hearts for Swift’s long coats and cozy sweaters, we love her warm-weather style the most. This two-piece set (which is easy to recreate with Amazon gems) is giving summer in the city, and the barely-there sandals and matching Mansur Gavriel bag only add to the chill, totally-not-the-most-famous-person-in-the-world vibes. Perfection.

This is perhaps the most Hailey Bieber-like Swift has ever looked, and we’re not complaining. Going full downtown girl in a striped button-down shirt, tennis skirt, dad hat, and derbies, this is exactly what an undergrad would wear to study tortured poets in class—and we love it.

Despite her billionaire status, Swift rarely wears anything on the street that her audience wouldn’t be able to afford. This is especially true here; peep the Free People tank and Reformation slingbacks. Both styles have sadly since disappeared, but you can still get the look—and the superstar attitude—on the cheap.
