A 10-Piece Capsule Wardrobe Inspired by Taylor Swift’s Reputation Album & Tour
With 2017’s Reputation, the queen of lyrics turned her critics into inspiration and shocked the world with a completely unexpected sound. Totally unapologetic about every aspect of her character, Taylor Swift not only embraced the snake with open arms but built a 30-foot-tall one on her tour stage. And why should she apologize? Why should any of us?
This is the album’s key takeaway: every single person has made mistakes throughout their life but, as Taylor herself wrote,
“without your past, you could have never arrived- so wondrously and brutally, By design or some violent, exquisite happenstance …here.”
Taylor Swift, in my opinion, is the epitome of class. (Can you tell I’m a Swiftie?) No matter the circumstance, she carries herself with unparalleled grace, even making post-gym attire look like it belongs on a runway. Her style ranges from pretty, pink, and floral to oversized hoodies and dark, ripped cropped tops, but there is no doubt that each piece she wears was meticulously inspected and cherry-picked.
Today, I’ve created a capsule wardrobe inspired by Reputation, with pieces you can mix and match to create a wide variety of Taylor-inspired looks:

The color of both the dress and blouse was inspired by Taylor’s somewhat unexpected appearance at the Billboard music awards where she wore a pale pink gown littered with petals, designed by Versace. Also, both pieces are slightly reminiscent of the ‘old Taylor’ that is teased by the singer on occasion. The skirt is an attempt at representing the kaleidoscopic personality that the album explores; while feminine, it is also made from stiff denim, and the two-toned buttons add a little edge to it. The boots and belt are an obvious testament to the snake mascot that is at the forefront of the Reputation tour — there’s also a snake on the green t-shirt, which is actually from the tour merchandise store.
