The Eras Tour in Sydney is only a few days away but if you haven’t got your outfit sorted yet, don’t stress.

Many fans go all out with the glitter and homemade outfits, but if this isn’t your vibe you can still get dressed up in your own way.

If you’re a Red fan then a simple red dress or tee is perfect. Or if Reputation is more your thing, then you can’t go wrong with an all-black outfit.

But if you’re still stressed or not sure, in my opinion as a diehard Swiftie, the only thing you actually need at the concert are friendship bracelets.

In Taylor’s song You’re On Your Own Kid she sings about making friendship bracelets and as a result, fans have started making and swapping friendship bracelets with each other.

With Amazon’s quick delivery, you can have these in no time. Or try click and collect at Target if you’re worried about it arriving in time.

DEBUT ERA

Debut is full on country so think floral or white dresses and country boots. A cowboy hat also won’t go amiss (just remember to take it off for the actual concert so that you don’t block the view of those behind you). If you have naturally curly hair, that’s also a plus.

FEARLESS ERA

Think gold, sparkly dresses and cowboy boots for Fearless. But if you can’t get that in time, then my number one tip would be to buy a white tee and DIY a Junior Jewels top like Taylor wore in the You Belong With Me music video. It’s super easy to do, just buy some coloured sharpies and away you go.

SPEAK NOW ERA

Think purple, think Speak Now. Whether you throw on a purple tee or singlet or purple dress, whatever you’ve got in a lavender hue is bound to work if Speak Now is your thing. Bonus points if you draw a 13 on your hand too.

RED ERA

Perhaps the easiest outfit to wear if you’ve secured last minute tickets. If you’ve got anything red, you will be on theme. Think cute red tops to red dresses and even red socks, whatever you have will do. Plus, a Kansas City Chiefs jersey is another fun take on the Red era.

1989 ERA

For 1989 last minute fits, see if you can find any sort of matching sparkly sets or sequined dresses. Also, blue is the colour associated with 1989 so anything you have that is blue will also work well.

REPUTATION ERA

This was Taylor’s ‘bad girl’ era and another easy option for a last minute outfit. Anything black is fair game here and bonus points if you pair it with anything snake print.

LOVER ERA

Lover is all about pink, hearts and glitter so if you want to go all out this is the era to do so. But the girls in the first picture are a great example of an easy last minute outfit. Throw on a pink tee with a white skirt and you’re ready to. Pink love heart glasses also add a nice touch.

FOLKLORE ERA

folklore is a little bit harder than other eras because it’s more subtle and less overtly fun (unless mirrorball is your inspiration). Think long, flowy dresses with a whimsical sort of vibe. Also a cardigan over the top is a dead giveaway you’re a folklore girlie.

EVERMORE ERA

Similar to folklore but with a darker feel to it, evermore is a mix of fantasy (like the outfit worn in the TikTok above) as well as academia thanks to the fit worn by Taylor on the cover. A plaid skirt or even a brown dress are both easy options if you’re stuck for ideas.

MIDNIGHTS ERA

Think midnights, think dark blues and blacks as well as sparkles everywhere. Anything celestial is also going to be a good fit plus that shaggyy jacket the girl on the right is holding is great dupe of the one Taylor wears when performing Karma.
