15 “Folklore” Inspired Outfits That’ll Give You Major Taylor Swift Vibes

Taylor Swift usually has a process when it comes to preparing her fans for the release of a new album. There is always some anticipation and a change in her social media aesthetic. All of a sudden, on July twenty-third, she shared that her eighth album would be released soon. None of us were prepared and had no idea what to expect. Needless to say, “Folklore” has yet to disappoint.

Here are some outfits inspired by her new album that’ll give you major Taylor Swift vibes!

1. The 1

Taylor starts her newest album off strong with “The 1.” This song has certainly sparked debate amongst her fans in regards to certain words within the song, but a quick search for the lyrics quickly solves the dispute! Many twenties-inspired outfits could result from these lyrics but if you pay close attention, copper has its place in this song. This Folklore outfit is inspired by the “pennies in the pool” line and if you choose to try this outfit out for yourself, you are guaranteed to turn some heads!

2. Cardigan

Not only was “Cardigan” the first music video off of Taylor Swift’s newest album, but a special cardigan was also designed and is almost sold out on her website! While this may or may not have been the cardigan we imagined when we heard the song for the first time, there is no doubt that Taylor made it work. If you can manage to snag one of the last sizes off her site, you too can have a Folklore outfit like Taylor herself!

3. Last Great American Dynasty

While this might not be an outfit Rebekah would have worn, we could all see Taylor Swift wearing this outfit around her Rhode Island home or on the beach watching the sunset. Though she does not wear these types of outfits as frequently as she used to years ago, there are still pictures of Taylor keeping it casual and comfortable with a sweater and jean shorts! If you want to channel your inner Swift, try this Folklore outfit for yourself.

4. Exile

Some of the songs on Folklore have a specific color mentioned or affiliated with the song as a result of the lyric videos she released along with her album. The lone individual walking through the woods wearing only dark-colored clothing inspired this folklore outfit. Pair a black turtleneck sweater with black jeans, and your favorite black shoes to channel one of Taylor Swift’s most iconic outfits!

5. My Tears Ricochet

These lyrics can be interpreted in numerous ways, but there is no argument that she mentions “burying” in this song. So it felt appropriate to include a sexy, all-black dress inspired by that very sentiment. Taylor Swift has been known to wear some amazing, low-cut black gowns in various music videos and at award shows. This dress felt perfect for a Folklore outfit as it encapsulates both the lyrics and the mood of the song perfectly!

6. Mirrorball

It was a no brainer when it came to selecting a Folklore outfit for Mirrorball. If you want to channel this song, try opting for metallic clothing items that you absolutely love! To keep the metallic look a little more subtle, choose either a skirt or top instead of overwhelming everyone else with an all metallic outfit. Black is the perfect color to pair with metallic and you can keep the look consistent by completing it with a pair of gorgeous black heels!

7. Seven

This song is filled with notes and the air of summer, so it felt natural to opt for a green floral dress for this folklore outfit! Not only is floral the perfect pattern for summer, but green is also a flattering color on almost everyone. Complete the look with your outer garment of choice and a great pair of shoes and you are on your way to embodying “Seven” with minimal effort!

8. August

One of the simplest summer outfits is an oversized white button-down and jean shorts! Keep the look comfortable by choosing a pair of shoes you can wear all day long. This is a look that Taylor has been photographed wearing on numerous occasions and is a Folklore outfit we all probably have hanging in our closets!

9. This Is Me Trying

The lyric video for this song gives off Riverdale vibes so it only felt natural to turn to Betty Cooper for inspiration for this Folklore outfit! Simply pair a light pink sweater with jeans or a skirt for an easy outfit you will absolutely adore. You can accessorize this look however you want to add your own personal flare!

10. Illicit Affairs

Naturally, all things black, silk, and lace would have to be a part of this folklore-inspired outfit. Tone down a black lace camisole by tucking it into a pair of light wash jeans and pull on a soft cardigan! Add some gold accessories to help the outfit appear more cohesive and don’t forget to wear some cute shoes too.

Do some research and shopping until you find the perfect jumpsuit for your Folklore outfit.
