What to Wear to Taylor Swift Eras Tour

Ten different Eras, ten different wardrobes. Swifties already know picking an Eras tour concert outfit is an Era-picking nightmare. Whether it’s Reputation Era’s all black with moody makeup or dreamy Speak Now ballgown, it is important to find the Era that represents who you are, while keeping you comfortable throughout the show. Try not to buy brand-new pieces for the show, as it might cause unwanted discomfort or any wardrobe malfunction that will forever taint your Eras tour memory. If you do buy them, find a way to incorporate those fits into your daily routine; nobody wants a wardrobe full of one-off situational wear that you can’t bring everywhere.

Eras Tour Outfit Ideas

Folklore Outfit Idea

For all those helplessly romantic bookworms with a broken heart out there, this one is for you. Folklore’s central theme revolves around woodland and cottage, with outfits oozing cozy, hot-coffee-on-sunday-morning vibes. A white and cream cardigan is the perfect choice for Folklore nerds, especially in this chilly season. It’s great if you are lucky enough to snatch one from Taylor’s official sales, but any brand can work just fine. Otherwise, floral dresses with earthy tones that resemble Taylor Swift’s 2021 Grammy Award Oscar de la Renta look can also do the trick.

Reputation Outfit Idea

All black sequins with sparkles and snake prints are accessories that are the name of the Reputation game. This is Taylor Swift in her cool Era after the infamous feud with Kayne West and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, so remember to bring a lot of attitude along with that edgy vibe. If you are going full goth mode, try black lipstick, black manicure, and smokey eye makeup. An over-the-knee boot is the perfect final touch for this Reputation’s look, but punk girlies can also opt for a pair of all-black Timbaland and over-size tees if it’s more of your style.

1989 Outfit Idea

It is time to whip out that metallic matching two-piece set, pink cowboy hat, and beat-up Converse you bought 8 years ago in college because it’s time for partying again. 1989 is Taylor Swift’s magnum opus, marking her first time embracing pop music as the main genre over country music. This album is full of colorful pop songs that were inspired by 80s sound and aesthetic. 1989 is where many became Swifties, so expect to see the 1989 stans flood the arena with hot pink and rainbow bomber jacket.

Fearless Outfit Idea

Golden fringe-embroidered mini dresses are the center of Swift’s Fearless Era glam. Once you get that down, the rest of the fit is only a matter of what shoe to wear. We suggest a pair of sparkling gold or silver cowboy boots, but sneakers are also great choices for those unfamiliar with American Southern culture. There will be die-hard Swifties showing up with the iconic “You Belong with Me” nerdy Taylor Swift look. If you meet one, show ‘em some love because they deserve every bit of that.

Midnights Outfit Idea

Step aside, Elon Musk! This Swiftie is going to space!! Midnights is Taylor Swift’s most recent album and also the most celestial one. Midnight Era wardrobe consists mainly of dark blue and lavender dresses and space accessories. Midnight stans should also copy Taylor’s iconic Clio Peppiatt Little Black Birthday Dress for some extra star-shining glam for your big Eras tour night.

Speak Now Outfit Idea

Dive into Speak Now’s romantic nostalgia with a bit of heart and a whole lot of purple. Speak Now Era fashion is fondly remembered with dreamy princess gowns, plain white sneakers, and fairytail-esque accessories. Those pieces can be found all over Amazon, but true Speak Now fans know it is not a true Speak Now glam if you did not buy them from your local vintage shop.

Red Outfit Idea

Red Era may be Taylor Swift’s easiest Era to slay. The Red Era is dominated by the color Red. A red dress, red lipstick, red accessories, and red bottom heels would be your go-to. If you are not feeling red that day, try a retro outfit with stripe tees and blue jeans. Apart from those, a fedora hat, not-a-lot-going-on t-shirt, and heart-shaped sunglasses are good for the meme-mory, and for dance-aholics who need to keep their feet light to move all night.

Lover Outfit Idea

Nothing screams Lover Era more than hot pink, pastel, rainbow, and butterfly. This bubble gum pop Era is filled with crop tops, oversized blazers, fringe, and jewelry. Don't forget the iconic glitter heart makeup if you decide to go as a Lover fan.

What to Bring to the Eras Tour

Now that you have, hopefully, settled for an Eras Tour outfit, it’s time to pick what to bring along with you to the show. Depending on location, organizers will have different instructions on what you can and can not bring to the concerts. Other than that, it is only a matter of packing. If you haven’t figured out what to bring, here is a comprehensive list of must-haves we think you are going to need at a Taylor Swift concert.

Portable Chargers: It does not matter if you fully charge beforehand; that beat-up 7-year-old iPhone is not going to last half of the show, let alone an entire day. Trust us, that battery will need plenty of refreshes after hours of YouTube recording, Instagram snapping, and endlessly messaging your friends to ask why they keep ending up in that creepy guy’s TikTok.

Friendship bracelets: Did you know that the Friendship bracelet trading tradition started with Taylor’s “You’re On Your Own Kid?” Most Swifties made their friendship bracelets from scratch with colorful bread which can be found easily on Amazon. Premade Etsy bracelets are usually for those busy Taylor Swift fans, but don’t worry—it’s the heart that counts.

Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is the key to surviving Taylor’s concert. There are usually water bottle stand, but they sell out very quickly, so do yourself a favor and fill one up before going to the concert.

Bag: The logic is clear, so we will save you some time on this one. Just remember to bring one that fits your glam and all your belongings. A pro tip is checking the venue rules, as some places may mandate a clear bag policy or no bags at all.

Second pair of sneakers: Three hours of dancing will do unimaginable things to your shoes, so bring another pair just in case. Swap it out the moment your feet start to feel unwell. There are also Ballet Flats and Rollup slippers if you can no longer cramp another pair of New Balance into your rainbow butterfly purse.

What to Eat Before the Eras Tour

Wherever Taylor goes, the Swift fever follows. Local restaurants are reinventing their menus and filling them with Taylor Swift theme food to attract Swifties, and we fall for it every time. Sweet, savories, or something in between? Here are our suggestions for a perfect pre-game meal that will give you all the energy needed for a perfect Eras night.

Burger and French Fries: Taylor is a known baking nerd, so it's no surprise that this good old American delicacy is one of her favorites. For Swifties who share the same taste buds, a quick trip to the nearest McDonald’s or Shake Shack should give you enough energy for the night.

Chicken tender with Ketchup and Ranch: On the topic of American food, you should also give fried chicken tenders a try. The dish sounds simple but true foodies know making delicious chicken tender is nothing but art. If you are in mood for chicken tenders, make sure to ask for some Ketchup and Ranch as this is the only Taylor’s approved way of enjoying this comfort food.

Grande Caramel Nonfat Latte: No, we are never ever ever getting over Taylor’s Latte. The 2022 Red collab with Starbucks was one of the most successful collab in the history of the brand. With plenty of recipes available online, Swifties can make their own Taylor latte without depending on Starbucks.

Hummus: Simple, healthy, and delicious. This creamy Middle Eastern dip sneaks into our lives like Taylor did in the early 2010s and refuses to leave. If you are ordering it from a restaurant, we recommend having it with some pita bread, veggies, and roast chicken to get all the nutritions you need for the concert.
