The Taylor Swift fashion eras

Whether it’s sequins, cowboy boots, pretty pastels or edgy black, Taylor Swift fans have a long list of iconic looks to choose from, if they want to play the part when her Eras tour hits Melbourne.

Melbourne will shimmer next month when Swifties lucky enough to have secured tickets to the popstar’s Eras Tour flock to the MCG in their best dresses.

Cowgirl hats, bedazzled boots and sequin skirts have been flying off shelves as diehard fans opt to recreate iconic looks from Taylor Swift’s stellar 18-year career.

The impossible challenge facing crazed fans is which of Swift’s ten eras to channel in their concert outfits – the bedazzled cowgirl from her debut album or 1989’s New York street style?

Chadstone stylist Meggy Smith gives her top tips for those looking to dress-to-impress – and how to be smart about it.

“No matter your favourite era, when getting a new outfit for Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, think about how you can rewear the outfit again. Like a top over an existing pair of jeans,” she

“This way your outfit will take on a life after the concert.”

REPUTATION ERA

Mega fans of Swift’s comeback Reputation era can be “Ready For It” by opting for monochrome black and white options, which defined the era. Print tees act as a nod to the 2017 album cover, while stockings patterned in the iconic snake make for the perfect accessory.

FEARLESS ERA

If fans prefer Swift’s early days, then her Fearless era makes for the perfect get-up to celebrate the star’s Melbourne shows. Throw it back by opting for the chart-topper’s gold bedazzled cowgirl style – boots and hat included – which she was best known for during her 2008 Grammy-winning country album.

LOVER ERA

Swift was all about the hearts and pastel pink in her 2019 era during her years-long romance with former partner Joe Alwyn. Fans wanting to recreate the flirty looks should opt for lighter romantic shades, some sparkle, puffed sleeves, flowy dresses – anything that oozes feminine.

RED ERA

Embody the popstar’s popular Red era from 2012 – bright red lipstick and all – flare pants, heeled ankle boots, statement tees, red nail polish and sunnies, topped off with a black top hat for a playful spin on her popular look in smash hit “22”.

MIDNIGHTS ERA

Fans eager to adopt Swift’s more grown-up side should lean into her Midnights era, opting for navy and black tones which reference to the chart-topping 2023 album. Staples of this era include oversized jackets and chunky jewellery.
