Taylor Swift seems like the kind of girl who spent hours planning her outfit the night before the first day of school. And I love her for it. Her perfectly planned ensembles are works of art that belong in The Louvre. Love her or hate her, you can’t deny Swift’s got style.
I like to think of her as my style twin — if your twin can be 10 inches taller than you. The 5-foot-10 fashionista wears more high heels and flirty frocks than I do, and that’s no easy feat. Except when she wears them every day, she gets stared at by paparazzi and adoring fans; I get stared at by sweatpants-clad students who think I’m crazy. Haters gonna hate (hate hate), right, T. Swift?
The 24-year-old singer has been showcasing some serious sartorial prowess this past year. Don’t just take it from me — she was chosen to perform at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show for the second year in a row and even landed the cover of the fashion bible otherwise known as Vogue. The girl who used to wear nothing but cowboy boots, her heart on her sleeve and Hollywood men on her arm has completely reinvented herself and her wardrobe.
Equal parts preppy and retro, Swift’s wardrobe looks like a walking mix ModCloth-meets-J. Crew-ad. Her closet full of cutout dresses, polka dot prints and Peter Pan collars has turned her into a street style pro who continues to make us normal people look as stylish as Mark Zuckerberg.
Granted, most of us don’t have to think about a million people’s eyes when they get dressed in the morning; but no one should [look _that_ good](http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/this-is-what-taylor-swift-looks-like-after-the-gym) leaving the gym. No one.
She actually looks like a doll. A 1950s-Stepford-wife-pinup-doll. She seems to have zero-percent body fat and an inability to sweat. Scientists should do tests on her. How anyone manages to look so effortlessly chic after a workout is beyond me. And don’t even get me started on how her clothes are never covered in cat hair, despite the fact that she owns two. In the Taylor Swiftiest of ways, she always steps out in polished perfection.
One quick Google Image search for the iconic “Taylor Swift crop tops” and ladylike high-waisted skirts is enough to inspire any Swiftie to want a wardrobe makeover. Taylor’s look is an ideal blend of sweet and sultry. She isn’t afraid to show some skin (and her mannequin-long legs) in her favorite high-waisted shorts, but always does so in a tasteful manner.
Taylor Swift loves a lot of things, from kittens to Starbucks coffee, but her love of fashion is undeniable. She has become just as well known for her style as her songs and is fashion’s new darling. It’s Taylor’s world, and we’re all just living in it. And when you’re living in Taylor Nation, you’re going to need to step up your style.
