Taylor Swift
Through every album era, Taylor Swift has always been a style icon. From the cowboy boots and white dresses from her Fearless era, her iconic twee style from the 1989 era, to her cottagecore aesthetic from Folklore and Evermore. As we prepare for Swifts tenth studio album, Midnights, fans are already loving her 70s retro style that shes teased on TikTok and Instagram.
Swift’s style is both classic and ever-changing, with entire fashion blogs dedicated to her style. Swift’s love of fashion is featured in many of her songs, from the infamous scarf in All Too Well to dresses that have made their way onto every album. If you’re a sartorial swiftie wanting to create a capsule wardrobe of all her iconic pieces, look no further.We’ve rounded up 13 signature pieces that every fan should have, based on Taylor Swift’s songs and her own wardrobe—because some pieces never go out of style.
An Old Cardigan
Another iconic piece of clothing based on a Taylor Swift song, Cardigan is the first single off Swift’s 2020 album Folklore, and fans were obsessed with the chunky knit cardigan she wears in the video (and sold on her website). If you missed out on claiming this coveted sweater, there are plenty of dupes to try.

A (Preferably Red) Scarf

The question that has been plaguing every Taylor Swift fan since 2012: “What did Jake Gyllenhaal do with Taylor’s scarf?” While the scarf is apparently a metaphor, our love for this fall and winter accessory is very real. A red scarf is the key accessory every Swiftie needs, especially singing in the car getting lost upstate. (Weve yet to hear any lyrics about a yellow scarf, so Harry Styles is safe for now.)

The Little Black Dress

There is even a whole song dedicated to the garment in Dress. While they can be every style and color, the LBD is an iconic
wardrobe staple that Taylor would approve of.
