Are you “…Ready for It?” Taylor Swift’s 2024 street style, that is.
It’s hard to believe that this year could be any better than the last for the Grammy-winning singer: She kicked off her Eras-spanning tour, released a film about said tour, became Spotify’s most-streamed global artist, was named Time’s 2023 Person of the Year, dropped two more re-records, and that barely scratches the surface. While any number of things could play out this year, we’re pretty certain it’s going to include more than one trendy or relatable ’fit.
Below, we’ve compiled a list of all of Taylor Swift’s best street-style moments from this year so far (and a few standouts from 2023) — cozy jackets, green dresses, and tall boots included, and we’ve rounded up lookalike pieces so you can replicate these looks.
The Comfy One

On January 11, the “Gorgeous” singer was seen arriving at Electric Lady Studios in a $120 Adidas zip-up jacket (which is now sold out), black leggings, and some neutral sneakers. A lounge-ready look, it’s super easy to recreate: This Amazon Essentials pick, though a hoodie, has almost the same zebra pattern and coloring as Taylor’s jacket and comes in at just $24.
For the bottom half, slip on these popular Zella leggings, or choose a butt-lifting pair from Spanx, which Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Garner, and Kristen Bell wear. As for shoes, match the neutral tones in your hoodie to a beige-hued pair of sneakers like these from Amazon. Or, instead of wearing higher socks like the singer, get these discounted Lululemon shoes that already have a sock-like look. (They’re also the taller version of Kate Middleton’s sneakers.)
Is Reputation (Taylor’s Version) Coming Soon?

Just a few days after wearing a green, sparkly Gucci dress at the Golden Globes, Swift stepped out in yet another green dress while heading to dinner with Blake Lively. She paired the sold-out $76 Little Lies dress with a $2,450 pair of designer boots covered in snake-like shapes (iykyk).
We found a similar velvet green dress at Cider, which also has a delicate floral pattern that’s Evermore and Folklore-coded, while Amazon has a longer option you could wear to work or fancier functions. Then, cover up your legs with a pair of tights — the singer’s worn Calzedonia pairs before — and add some tall boots, preferably snake-printed ones.
A Monochromatic ’Fit

Taylor Swift wears a lot of little black dresses, and her most recent all-black outfit reminded us of this turtleneck sweater dress, that can be topped off with knee-high boots and a black handbag like hers. The Pink Queen Turtleneck Sweater Dress looks a little more relaxed, but is “flattering with or without a belt,” according to one Amazon shopper. It comes in sizes S to 3X and can be worn with leggings on colder days.
You also need a little black purse to accessorize, and though any small style will work, this glittery shoulder bag is more than 70 percent off and in ways, Midnights-motivated.
Back to the Studio

For a studio session on January 9, Swift layered a double-breasted Stella McCartney coat over a green sweater dress and accessorized with a YSL hobo bag and Gucci boots — and you can dress similarly without spending thousands of dollars.
This Lost + Wander sweater dress from Nordstrom is a warm base layer that you can wear under a blazer, varsity jacket, or a similar Abercrombie & Fitch wool jacket. Block-heel boots will cover your legs if you don’t like the feeling of hosiery — check out these from Amazon — while a tan bag will keep your essentials from getting snowed on and tie the entire outfit together.
A 2023 Moment

On her way to dinner with Selena Gomez and Zoë Kravitz, the 34-year-old “Karma” singer had a lot of eye-catching elements going on: a shearling-trimmed jacket, a plaid mini skirt, and some wine-colored boots, all of which you can affordably mimic. Cider, Revolve, and Abercrombie & Fitch have cropped jackets with shearling-covered collars and trim, and they range in price from $44 to $148.
To recreate her look as closely as possible, you need a pleated mini skirt, which you can get at Nordstrom for $60. However, Banana Republic has one that’s a little bit longer, and it’s also now marked down to $78, while Amazon sells a flattering midi version that comes in dozens of colors and patterns.
Everyday Casual

For a GNO last October, the singer wore a pair of high-waisted jeans (and so did Gomez). And at Everlane, a similar pair is a whopping $69 off. Made from organic cotton and elastane, they have a straight-leg style and are “truly high-waisted and not too tight in the butt or legs,” according to one reviewer. But if you don’t want to struggle with a zipper, Spanx’s wide-leg jeans come without one, and are made to be stretchy enough to pull right on and highlight your curves.
Swift’s top was a see-through style that made us think of this lace blouse from Anthropologie, though depending on where you live, it might not exactly be something you can wear in cold weather — you can instead go with crocheted cardigans or open-knit sweaters for a little extra fabric and warmth.
