Taylor Swift’s Personal Style 2024 (An Overview)

Mega superstar, Taylor Swift, is releasing her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, in just about a week on April 19th, 2024 (eeeeek I’m so excited!!!!). She’s had an amazing year touring the world, releasing a concert movie, attending Travis Kelce’s football games (including the SuperBowl), and being the biggest superstar on the planet.

As I always say, when I am a fan of someone, I am typically intrigued by their personal style choices. Don’t get me wrong, I love red carpet looks, but there is something so telling about someone’s everyday fashion. I also love taking inspiration from my favorite celebs, and as a normal girlie, everyday style is my jam. Let’s look at Taylor Swift’s personal style!

However, I have some pictures in my video version of this post linked here.


STYLE ELEMENT #1: DARK ACADEMIA VIBES

Even though I’m focusing on Taylor’s current style, I would be remiss to ignore the fact that her personal style oftentimes reflects her upcoming or recently released projects. I’ve researched her style in the past and this seems to be a common occurrence. With that being said, since last Fall, her style has included quite a few ‘schoolish’ elements like loafers, pleated skirts, blazers, and plaid print. The ‘dark’ element comes through with the color palette. She wears darker colors like black, brown, and navy as well as muted fall tones like burgundy, burnt orange, and mustard.

Could this dark academia vibe relate to her new album? Who knows, but let’s look at some examples:

  • Navy rugby shirt dress (feels schoolish to me) with brown knee-high boots and a brown crossbody bag.

  • Heeled loafers, wide-leg dark gray jeans, and a printed orange & brown sweater.

  • Pleated check print mini skirt, black long-sleeve top, and over-the-knee black boots.

  • Heeled loafers, white flowy mini dress, navy blazer, and tights.

  • Long plaid coat, matching skirt, black top, black heels, and tights.

TRY IT YOURSELF: Pair a pleated mini skirt with any top or sweater, throw a blazer on top, and add a pair of loafers for the perfect elevated academia outfit.


STYLE ELEMENT #2: SEXINESS & EDGINESS

Taylor will often pair the mature & elevated school vibe with a little sexiness or edginess. She is doing this by reaching for her mini skirts & dresses over midi or maxi lengths and wearing clothing pieces with sheer or cutout elements. In addition, she is wearing leather more often, a notoriously sexy and edgy material.

Let’s look at some examples:

  • On a date night, she wears a sheer black/green/pink/purple floral top with a leather mini skirt and leather boots.

  • At the SuperBowl, Taylor wore a corseted black mini top and black jeans with embellished cutouts near the top of the jeans

  • A go-to outfit formula for Taylor is any mini skirt/mini dress/shorts and knee-high leather boots.

TRY IT YOURSELF: Reach for any sheer, cutout, or leather clothing piece for your next night out on the town!


STYLE ELEMENT #3: REFRESHINGLY NORMAL

One aspect of Taylor’s style that I absolutely love is how normal & relatable it is. She’s not trying too hard, and she’s not wearing anything too over the top. In the summer, she’s wearing denim shorts, skirts, and breezy white frilly tops with sandals. She also wears cozy sweaters and wide-leg trousers.

Some recent examples from Taylor:

  • I can’t stop thinking about the bright red sweater she wore to the AFC Championship game, which she paired with a skirt and tights.

  • Last summer, she wore a chic white blouse and a denim wrap skirt with loafers.

  • Black wide-leg trousers, a simple black tank top, a beige hat, and black loafers.


STYLE ELEMENT #4: SPORTY INFLUENCE

I wouldn’t classify Taylor’s outfits as ‘sporty’, but over the last year, there has been a little influence from the sports world. The sporty influence was most prominent while she was attending football games.

Taylor would add something sporty to her outfits. For example, she would often wear a jacket, windbreaker, or a vintage sweatshirt over an outfit.

TRY IT YOURSELF: Just by adding a sports windbreaker, vintage sweatshirt, or bomber jacket on top of any outfit, you are adding sporty vibes to your look!
