Okay, so today I’m gonna break down how I put together a Taylor Swift inspired outfit. It was a fun little project and I figured I’d share my process.

First things first, Inspiration Dive: I didn’t just blindly pick an outfit. I spent a good hour scrolling through photos of Taylor – red carpets, street style, music videos, you name it. I was looking for something that felt both iconic and achievable, ya know?
The Chosen Look: I eventually settled on this one outfit from her “Red” era. It was a simple black high-waisted shorts, a striped long-sleeved top, and red lipstick. Seemed easy enough, right?
Inventory Check: I raided my closet. Already had a pair of black high-waisted shorts (score!). And a bunch of striped shirts. The lipstick was the key, but figured I could find something close enough.
Sourcing the Missing Pieces: Okay, so my striped shirts weren’t quite right. They were either too thick, wrong color, or not long-sleeved. So, I hopped online and found a similar one at a local store. Quick trip, got it, boom!
Makeup Magic: The red lipstick was crucial. I tried a few different shades I already had, but none of them were quite right. Ended up mixing two shades together – a bright red and a slightly darker, matte one – to get that perfect “Red” era vibe.

The Outfit Assembly: This was the easy part. I threw on the shorts, the striped top, tucked it in, and added a belt. The lipstick was the final touch.
Accessorizing: Taylor often keeps it simple, so I went with delicate gold jewelry – a necklace and some small hoops. Maybe a pair of ankle boots would complete this look. But I want it simple so I went without it.
The Final Verdict: Honestly? I was pretty happy with how it turned out. It wasn’t an exact replica, but it captured the essence of the outfit. It was comfortable, stylish, and definitely gave off those Taylor vibes.
Lessons Learned:
- Don’t be afraid to get creative with what you already have.
- Sometimes mixing makeup shades is the way to go.
- Comfort is key! If you don’t feel good in it, you won’t look good in it.
So, yeah, that’s how I created my Taylor Swift inspired outfit. It was a fun little project and it reminded me that you don’t need a ton of money or a professional stylist to create a cool look. Just a little inspiration and some creativity!
