Style News: Taylor Swift’s Look for Less

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Southern Miss chapter.

We turn to Taylor Swift after a bad breakup, but also when we’re seeking inspiration for a southern-mod look. Yes, southern-mod. Taylor’s style is very humble with a retro vibe that stays true to her native city, Nashville. Surprisingly, you can snag a few key pieces from Taylor’s wardrobe without breaking the bank.

Swift is a huge fan of Modcloth, an online vintage clothing shop. Just about any dress you’ll find under their “Casual Dresses” section is something you might possibly spot Taylor wearing.

Here is your permission to splurge on a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses and Seychelle shoes. Taylor Swift sports both of these key items regularly and they’re what really top off the retro portion of her outfits.

To finish everything off, I don’t think I’ve seen a picture of Taylor out and about without a satchel bag of some sort. Every collegiette loves rummaging around a thrift store! See if you can’t snag a few accessories, such as a satchel bags or vintage earrings, in an antique shop before heading over to Target.

Of course, everyone is excited about Taylor Swift’s fourth full-length album, Red. Aside from the music, can we talk about how fabulous all of Taylor’s outfits have been for the promotion of her new album? The look for this album is easy! Subtle black and white with pops of red.

Try a black pair of high-waisted shorts – easy to pair with black or red tights for a chilly day – and a simple white button-up blouse with a bowler hat to top. For nights out, amp things up with a fiery red dress from Modcloth or ASOS.

You’ll hardly ever see Taylor without her red lips on! Try MAC’s Red, Ruby Woo, or Russian Red. For drug store options, check out Burn by Covergirl or Really Red Matte by Revlon! And, if you decide to really get into this look I’d say to try some straight bangs! Why not?

Have fun dressing like your favorite good girl! Keep a look out for fashion blogs on Tumblr that cover Taylor’s outfits. You’d be surprised how affordably she dresses when she isn’t on a talk show. We have a new style icon on our hands, as if she wasn’t already!
