- Taylor Swift brought back her 1989 style ethos for the second time in days while making an appearance at the Tight End University party in Nashville on Monday, June 23.
- The "Blank Space" singer stunned in a retro-inspired green gingham skirt set.
- Swift wore another 1989-coded outfit for a date night with Travis Kelce on Friday.
It’s shaping up to be a very 1989 summer for Taylor Swift. The “Blank Space” has officially left her Reputation black and leather behind for the soft blues and pastels that are reminiscent of her fifth studio album. While stepping out in Nashville with boyfriend Travis Kelce for a surprise appearance on June 23, Swift had fans feeling like it was 2014 all over again in a retro-inspired plaid skirt set that’s the perfect summer uniform.
Swift’s 1989 style era is synonymous with nostalgic plaids, vintage preppy staples, romantic details, and ocean blue pieces hearkening back to a simpler time—and the “Style” singer brought back that ethos for her latest outing. While stepping out for a Tight End University party on Monday night, Swift could be seen sandwiched between two Swifties in a photo shared by Swift outfit account @TaylorSwiftStyled.
In the image, the star embraced a green and cream gingham pattern in a fitted sleeveless bustier-style crop top that bared several inches of her midriff. She paired the nostalgic look with an A-line midi-length skirt with subtle pleating and a row of green buttons running down the middle. The Instagram creator revealed that Swift’s green plaid skirt set is from Hunter Bell, and it’s possible that the “Midnights” star snagged the piece from Anthropologie.
For Swifties, it’s a throwback to a time when Swift wore a crop top and skirt combo more often than not—and the vintage, slightly worn look gives the set a retro feel. It’s not the only 1989-coded look that the star has sported in recent days, as Swift stepped out for a New York City date night with Kelce on Friday in coordinating blue and white outfits. Complementing the Grammy Award-winning singer’s baby blue corset, white miniskirt, and white heels, the Kansas City Chiefs star opted for a vintage-style “U.S. Soccer” shirt and white shorts.
