Taylor Swift’s Fall Fashion Is Perfect Inspo For Date Night & Sweater Weather

A Mesh Top + Leather Skirt

Even though the temperatures are dropping outside, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are heating things up in New York City. The duo went on a dinner date at the Waverly Inn on October 15 and certainly dressed for the occasion. Taylor Swift’s date night look is flirty (I love the sheer top) and still practical to wear out.

She paired a Jean Paul Gaultier mesh long-sleeve shirt with a leather mini skirt and lace-up boots. If you’ve been stuck in a going-out-top and jeans rut, this outfit combination is a great way to switch things up.

This mesh JPG shirt is technically from the men’s collection but it really makes no difference who wears it. It runs true to size and is still fully in stock.

This mesh floral top is a more wallet-friendly alternative to the one Tayor Swift wore. It’s available in sizes XXS-3X and features a blue floral motif.

A Corset Top + Trench Coat

If you were watching the October 14 episode of Saturday Night Live, you may have caught both Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce making brief cameo appearances. After the show, Swift and Kelce attended the after-party in cool evening looks. They both opted for a layered look—Kelce in a button-down and canvas jacket and Swift in a Versace corset top and trench coat.

While a trench coat may not seem like an obvious choice for a nighttime look, Swift’s styling works perfectly. The trench coat provides balance and pattern to her all-black look and transitions the overall ensemble from summer to fall.

This corset top from Abercrombie is on sale for only $30 and will make you feel so snatched. This corset has a side zipper and is available in sizes XXS-XL.

If you love Taylor Swift’s trenchcoat, this similar option from Steve Madden will help you achieve the fall vibe.

A Leather Shirt + Knee-High Boots

After attending the Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Jets game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, Taylor Swift hit the town. She layered a leather button-down over her black long-sleeve shirt and added contrast to her look with a pair of denim shorts (it was warm in New Jersey). You can switch the shorts out for jeans if your autumn isn’t feeling as balmy.

This vegan leather shirt from Abercrombie has a great oversized fit. It’s available in two different vegan leather color options and comes in sizes XXS-XL.

You can always count on Target to have a wallet-friendly version of the latest and greatest thing you’re looking for. After seeing Taylor Swift’s beautiful Christian Louboutin boots, a pair of heeled black boots should be at the top of your shopping list.

A Little Black Dress + Blazer

Taylor Swift stepped out for a star-studded girl dinner in New York City on September 30th. She was in good company with friends like Sophie Turner and Blake Lively joining her at a pizzeria in Soho. Swift wore head-to-toe black, the New Yorker color of choice for the occasion.

Taylor Swift put her own spin on this skater dress from Aritzia by adding a belt.

An amazing black blazer doesn’t need to be expensive. This one from Target is under $40 and will take you from the office to a night out and everywhere in between.

A Sweater Dress + Boots

It’s been a few years since a sweater dress and tall boots were a fall trend and Taylor Swift basically announced the style’s return on a recent dinner outing in NYC with Sophie Turner. Swift played into fall hues with a burnt orange sweater, forest green handbag, and chocolate brown boots.

You can get Swift’s exact sweater dress just in time for cold weather from Reformation.

Taylor Swift is an official Reformation girlie because this pair of beautiful brown knee-high boots is also by the brand. You’ll want to wear these with oversized sweaters and mini skirts all season.

A Bodysuit + Slacks

The singer has joined in on the quiet luxury trend with this chic (but spendy!) outfit. Swift was seen in Tribeca wearing an off-the-shoulder Alaïa bodysuit with slacks and a belt by The Row. She added a pop of red to the outfit with red velvet Aquazzura sandals and her signature red lip. If you want to get the luxury look for less, it’s very possible. Since this outfit is relatively simple, there are plenty of more affordable versions of each piece available.

This off-the-shoulder bodysuit from Abercrombie is under $50 and will be your go-to for day and night.

If you don’t already have a pair of tan slacks in your closet, I highly recommend this pair from Madewell. They have the perfect amount of slouch to them and are so comfy. They also come in regular, plus, tall, and petite sizing.

A Denim Mini Dress

Denim is the unofficial fabric of fall and Swift translated that into her evening look for the 2023 VMAs after-party. She wore an adorable multi-tone denim mini dress by EB denim (Sabrina Carpenter wore the same look a few weeks prior) and paired it with a sequin handbag and matching heels.

This denim mini dress is the exact version Taylor Swift wore and it’s still available in sizes XXS-XXL.

This denim dress from Reformation is an adorable (and slightly more affordable) alternative. This would look great layered over a long sleeve shirt and paired with black tights and boots for fall.

A Neutral Accessory Combo

You’ve probably heard of the old trend of matching your shoes to your handbag but what about matching your bag to your hat? If this takes off, you can credit Ms. Swift for starting it. The singer left a session at Electric Lady Studios in a casual look, perfect for the urban environment. Her sand-colored baseball cap was perfectly coordinated with her leather handbag.

Taylor Swift wears a lot of Ralph Lauren and her choice of baseball cap is no exception. Her corduroy hat is sold out but this one is very similar.

Taylor Swift’s handbag is by the designer brand Yuzefi and comes with an elevated price tag. For an equally chic option, this Mail + Lili bag from Anthropologie for under $100 is so cute.

A Button Down + Mini Skirt

Taylor Swift was dressing for fall even back in June. She wore a modern-day school uniform look that consisted of a striped button-down, denim mini skirt, loafers, and crew socks. This outfit can easily be transitioned for a cooler climate by adding a pair of tights and layering a sweater over the button-down.

This denim mini-skirt is such a cute option for fall and looks exactly like the one Taylor Swift wore.

An oversized button-down is a wardrobe must-have. The brown stripe on this one from Zara will match the fall mood perfectly.
