We may have missed out on a Taylor Swift game day ‘fit this week while the Chiefs were on a bye, but our girl still made sure to feed us. The pop superstar and her NFL husband (that has a nice ring to it!!) Travis Kelce spent a low-key weekend in New York City for the break, and our girl served up some seriously good fall fashion inspo. The newlyweds were photographed outside the Jane Hotel’s Old Rose restaurant on Friday, and while both were giving peak autumnal vibes, it was Swift’s color combo that has me in a complete chokehold.
She styled her olive green long-sleeve knit top and coordinating cords with a rich burgundy loafer. A ridiculously chic case for pairing fall’s hottest hues. She finished the look with a small black leather Gucci bag with silver hardware and the designer’s signature horsebit detail for a hint of equestrian-inspired flair that feels right on par with the preppy fall aesthetic.
Now, I won’t sugarcoat it: the entire look is pricey—her top and shoes are YSL ($1,960 and $1,250, to be exact), and the pants are The Row for $1,090. If you’re willing to spend $4,300 on a single outfit, more power to you. Personally, I’m not in that tax bracket—and you don’t have to be either to recreate it.
Reformation’s Cary Low-Rise Slouchy Wide-Leg Jeans are a near-perfect alternative. They come in the same moody earth tone with a loose—but not overly baggy—silhouette that feels polished and effortlessly cool. They’re crafted from a non-stretch corduroy à la your fave vintage denim and hit at just the right spot on your waist.
If you wanna spend under $100 (or the rigid fit just isn’t your thing), snag this Tommy Hilfiger stretch pair instead for $90. As for the top, we have a few options: Anthropologie’s form-fitting long-sleeve looks similar to the YSL version but with the lace swapped at the neckline instead of the hem, while Ann Taylor’s Boatneck Sweater is a chunkier, baggier take on Taylor’s style. Another reason not to sleep on Ann Taylor?
The burgundy Weekend Leather Loafer Slides that could legit pass for the designer pair. Compare them side-by-side and tell me I’m wrong—you can’t! The only thing missing is the little “YSL” hardware.
