We know “All Too Well” how hard it is to “Shake It Off” when it comes to your “Style.” “The Eras” tour is quickly approaching — and you’ll need a “Gorgeous” fit to impress Taylor Swift when she visits Nissan Stadium next week (May 5-7).
Swifties did the hard part, getting tickets — so we’re helping you shop local based on album aesthetics. Pro tip: Make sure your bag’s on the approved list + add a festive strap.
Pastels for spring and the “Lover” era. Stop by Molly Green for the Mia Bubblegum Jumpsuit (psst — it’s even on sale). Bonus points for variations of pink throughout because it’s the color of love.
“Folklore” and “Evermore”
The “Folklore” and “Evermore” aesthetics embrace cottagecore vibes with natural colors, flowy materials, and cardigans or flannels. LoveShackFancy has a plethora of fitting dresses like the Karine Mini Dress or Kasiana Midi Skirt paired with a monochrome cropped cardigan.
Revenge is best served in style — honor the era with an edgy look paired with a little frill for thrill. We’re thinking dark colors, metallics, and faux leather. So, we put together this Article X Leather Muscle Tee from Posh and Sparks Fly Black Tulle Skirt from SVM Boutique. Add a metallic or snakeskin boot to complete the vibe.
“Midnights”
The latest album combines soft glam and mixes of other eras. Embrace the “Lavender Haze” aesthetic with the color purple. We’re crushing on the Metamorphosis Tank from Blush with these Shiny Pleather Shorts from Finnleys and a bootie.

Now that you’re versed on the deal, what questions do you still have? Let us know and we’ll do our best to run it back with an answer for you.
