It’s officially a Taylor Swift month with TTPD coming out 19th April 2024 and we could not be more excited. The Tortured Poets Department will mark Taylor’s 11th album and just another reason for Swifties to go all-out with looks inspired by the singer-songwriter’s albums. If you’re looking for inspiration to create Taylor Swift inspired looks, look no further.

This guide will help you pick from the trendy styles and easy-going outfits for every party – whether you’re attending the concert (lucky!!), watching The Eras Tour (2023) movie in the theatres, having a watch party at home, or creating a look for a party. We have curated looks based on all of her 10 released albums, as well as the upcoming TTPD.

1. Floral Dress For Brunches

Taylor Swift’s eponymous debut album aesthetic is all about flowy dresses, cowboy hats and boots. This elevated look seen on Taylor is the best way to embrace the debut era as it beautifully matches the romantic and soft tone of the album. Floral dresses overall are a must-have trend for summer 2024 and you don’t want to wake up to find the summer gone. Recreate the look with the floral dress from Liyokki, a brand which is loved by celebs like Urvashi Rautela, Rashmi Desai, and Avneet Kaur.

2. Tassels For Parties

The fashion world’s love story with sequins and tassels is unending and a party must-have this year. While the glitters make you literally shine on the dance floor, the tassels bounce along with your movements just like Taylor Swift’s Fearless bodysuit seen on The Eras Tour. Recreate this look with the Cider mini dress from our Global Store – a Gen-Z approved brand that has collaborative collections with celebs like Willow Smith.

3. Satin Skirts For Date Nights

We stan the original Speak Now dress but this look from the Taylor’s Version promotions is the best for a modern take on the romantic era. Get the look with the highly-rated Forever New skirt and pair it with a matching top or wear any deeper purple or white blouse for a look that will make sparks fly. The outfit can also easily transition from day to night and can be dressed up or down with jewellery and heels.

4. Trousers For Casual Outings

For casual music shows or Taylor Swift themed parties, this casual and comfy top and trousers look from the Red Tour is the best pick. While we remember the early 2000s skinny jeans all too well, we recommend switching up the look with more trendy trousers in the matching shade by Cover Story for a trendy outfit. Complete the looks with a striped t-shirt and wear your hair in a ponytail (bangs optional) to match the look.

5. Sequin Jackets For Night Outs

Glitter will never go out of style and this iconic look from the 1989 album world tour proves just that. Recreate it with the highly-rated Attic Salt jacket, which has been hailed for its value for money and fit. Pair it with a glittery skirt and sequin crop top just like Taylor or dress it down with a solid LBD or t-shirt and shorts. You can customise this look for any event at night and make a statement with the bold look.

6. Statement Earrings For Weekend Looks

The best era ever (in my biassed opinion), the Reputation aesthetic includes all-black looks and fiery red gowns. However, snakes are definitely the symbol of this album and this fan’s look for the concert proves how you can create stunning looks with just statement jewellery as well. You cannot go wrong with the Viraasi statement earrings – whether you pair these with a delicate lace look, a shimmery black mini dress, or a mini skirt and crop top with stockings.

7. Pastels For Lunch Gatherings

Organza is the perfect fabric to wear during cruel summers and this rainbow print dress is the most viral Lover album-inspired outfit seen on attendees of the TS Eras Tour. Cop this look with the Lea Clothing corset dress that is exclusively available on Nykaa and reviewers vouch that it matches expectations. The dress exudes romance and makes you look like a dream for summer lunch parties and concerts, especially when paired with white boots and whimsical butterfly clips.

8. Cardigans For The Winter

While we’re all too familiar with Taylor Swift wearing looks inspired from the Folklore album, it is refreshing to see celebs attending The Eras Tour getting into the spirit and dressing accordingly. Taylor’s bestie Selena Gomez was spotted wearing a chunky cardigan with a solid white dress when she attended the show. Pick the highly- rated ZIGO cardigan that is super soft and received raving reviews from Nykaa Fashion customers. While not many outfits can match the cosy vibe of Folklore as this one, you can also opt for a black pleated skirt for a preppy vibe.

9. Gowns For Summer Festivities

‘Tis the damn season to wear flowy long dresses and this yellow look inspired by Taylor should be your top choice to represent the desi swifties at summer weddings and special events. Recreate the Evermore coded look with the latest style from “Two Sisters” by Gyans, which features intricate embroidery and will complement western styling with contemporary jewellery and can also be elevated with ethnic accessories.

10. Sparkly Outfits For Clubbing

If you too just want to stay in a lavender haze, the Twenty Dresses sequined dress should be on your wishlist. The shimmery dress is perfect for parties on the weekend and will make you shine while being comfortable thanks to its soft lining. When winter rolls around, wear a fur jacket just like this Midnights look for added warmth and glamour.

11. Plaid Skirts For Coffee Dates

It’s the era of the dark academia girlies as The Tortured Poets Department (2024) is set to release. While we’re yet to see the looks and hopefully an Eras Tour introduction of this album, so far its aesthetic seems to be leaning toward preppy and moody styles with muted tones. With the preppy trend gaining popularity in 2024, we recommend you stock up on plaid skirts. For a Taylor-inspired outfit fit for brunch plans, opt for the skirt from Shop Staple that is part of the Hidden Gems curation by stylists. You can pair it with a solid button down or opt for a patch pocket option that looks like what Taylor is wearing.

Whether you’re a die-hard Swiftie or just exploring Taylor Swift’s songs, you cannot deny that these looks are the perfect excuse to give an ode to “mother” as the internet would put it. We hope you have a very nice time ruining everything (If you know, you know).
