When Taylor Swift was spotted in New York City on May 14, modeling her second minimalist outfit in 48 hours, I had to drop everything and alert my celebrity style obsessed friends. "This," I said alongside a screenshot of Swift's peplum button-down, plus several heart-eye emojis, "is the Taylor Swift outfit chapter I've been waiting for."
I've covered Taylor Swift's wardrobe from every angle as Marie Claire's senior fashion editor. I can name every designer she's worn to ceremonies from the Grammys to the Met Gala to the iHeartRadio Music Awards. I've studiously tracked how her style has evolved from album to album, era to era. I've ranked every single Chiefs Game outfit to join Swift in the Arrowhead Stadium stands. In all that time, I've always admired the Grammy winner's commitment to building a world through her style, associating specific colors, textures, and designers with shifts in her sound. But now that Swift is on a minimalist outfit streak involving little white dresses, leather-and-lace sets, and simply perfect trousers, I'm also ready to shop.
