Are you ready for it?
The Eras Tour is quickly approaching — and you better have an outfit made to impress Ms. Taylor Swift when she comes to town next week, April 13-15.
The concerts will feature songs from the last 15 years, encompassing 10 albums and lots of outfit changes. Swifties did the hard part, getting tickets — so we’re helping you shop local and pick out an outfit based on different album aesthetics.
Pro tip: If you plan to bring a bag, make sure it’s on the approved list — like one from Hazel + Dot.
“Fearless”
The “Fearless” era is pretty simple — wear something white and flouncy with cowboy boots. Shandy Style Boutique has tons of dreamy, romantic options. Be sure to finish the look off with a pair of signature boots from locally-owned Russell’s Western Wear.
“Red”
This might go without saying, but we recommend that you wear something red. The era featured 2013 hipster aesthetics with graphic T-shirts, fedora hats, black sequined shorts, and of course, the color red. You’ll find ample graphic tee options and retro finds at the curated heaven Wendy’s Closet.
“Speak Now”
Looking for something enchanting? All you need to complete the look for this album is a purple dress and bold lip. Try this dress from {a} Haley Boutique.
“1989"
Think: Los Angeles glamour with a pop-princess flair featuring bright colors, glitter, and 1950s style. There’s no better place to hunt for a vintage-inspired fit than ARTpool Gallery on Central Avenue. The massive shop stocks tons of old school women’s and men’s clothing, glittery jewelry, cat eye sunglasses, and unique pieces that will surely earn you a compliment from a fellow Swiftie.
“reputation”
Revenge is best served in style — honor the era with a more grungy, hard-core look by accessorizing at La France in Ybor City with a corset top, a leather jacket, and maybe even some sky-high boots.
“Lover”
The “Lover” aesthetic leans heavily on rainbows, pastels, and sequins. We recommend stopping by Shoreline Sugars on Central Avenue for a lime green flouncy mini or midi dress (with a gold belt, of course), a pink two-piece set, and of course, some glam accessories.
“folklore and evermore”
The “folklore” and “evermore” aesthetics embrace the cottage-core vibes with pastel colors, cardigans, and flannels. Roam Revolve Clothing Exchange for the perfect eyelet top, breezy dress, or 70s shades.
“Midnights”
Her latest album, “Midnights,” combines soft glam with a mix of other eras — but if you want to embrace the “Lavender Haze” aesthetic, you can’t go wrong with the color purple. Check out South Tampa’s Penelope T Boutique’s offerings, including a purple midi dress (pictured above) with matching earrings.
