What to Wear to the Eras Tour

Swifties, your wildest dreams are finally coming true: the Eras tour is coming to the UK - *screams*. Whether you're a die-hard fan yourself or scoring major brownie points and taking your mini Swifties to the concert, it's time to start preparing. If you've seen any of the Eras tour content from across the pond, you'll know that the Eras tour is your chance to really go for it. We're talking everything from Folklore's woodland cottagecore vibes to glitzy sequin sets for your 1989 popstar moment. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the options and Swiftie-lingo? We're here to make it a little easier for you by pulling together the ultimate RI guide of outfit inspiration. Broken down by eras, of course.

Fearless

Country charm meets Hollywood glamour in the Fearless era. Defined by country vibes, teenage romanticism and girly outfits, honour this nostalgic era with the ultimate Fearless item: a pair of western boots. These are detailed with pretty florals and sparkling studs, making you feel even more special as you sing (or scream) along to "You Belong With Me". For the rest of the look, keep it simple with a puff-sleeve dress, gold jewellery and a cowboy hat.

Speak Now

Welcome to your fairytale moment. The Speak Now era gives you full permission to arrive in a ballgown for an *enchanting* look that even Taylor would be proud of. Bonus points for sequins, embroidery, bows, tulle and basically anything else that channels a princessy feel. If that's not quite your thing but Speak Now is still your favourite era, channel a subtler take on this ultra-feminine aesthetic in a floral mini dress (purple, of course), styled with mesh flats and girly accessories.

Red

Go preppy or go home with the Red era. Featuring some of Taylor's most iconic songs *and* looks, the outfits from this era are best described (lovingly) as twee. Gone were the days of sparkling dresses and flowing chiffon styles, 2012 Taylor was all about chunky loafers, miniskirts, striped t-shirts, high-waisted shorts and tea dresses. This makes it arguably the easiest era to dress for, but just remember to finish off your look with Taylor's signature red lip.

1989

Live out your popstar dreams in outfits inspired by 1989. The era when Taylor officially waved goodbye to her country roots and good girl image and waved hello to her full-blown pop debut. She dressed for the occasion in sequined two pieces, metallic separates and swishy skater skirts. Look the part in this blue sequined set that looks like it came straight out of Taylor's 1989 tour wardrobe. Give the outfit a current feel with metallic ballet flats, a chunky necklace and silver woven bag.

Reputation

The Reputation girls did not come to play. This is Taylor at her most angsty, and the fans are dressing accordingly. The era is moody, edgy and just a teeny tiny bit intimidating. It's perfect for anyone who usually sports a head-to-toe black look with *all* the silver jewellery and a perfectly disheveled hair-do. Look the part in a white relaxed jeans, an asymmetric black top and all the sparkling accessories. And if you can get your hands on it, don't forget some kind of snake motif (iykyk).

Lover

2019 Taylor was in love, and that can only mean one thing: an explosion of sparkling sequins, rainbow colours and bubblegum pop. This is Taylor in her Lover (girl) era. It's fun, it's playful and it's *so* fun to dress for. Channel this energy in a sequined mini dress styled with baby pink heels and sparkling bag. For an easy nod to the era, look to heart-shaped accessories that can be worn whether you're going all-out or keeping it simple.

Folklore

Folklore; where cottagecore meets woodland fairy. Simplified to "fairycore", live out your ethereal dreams in outfits inspired by this folky era. Leaving behind her playful pop sound for something more stripped down and acoustic, Taylor's style aesthetic for this era followed suit with flowing white dresses, prairie blouses and cosy knitwear. Perfect for anyone who isn't a fan of all the glitz and glam, look to this cream maxi dress detailed with subtle stripes for an easy outfit you'll wear long after the encore.

Evermore

If your vibe is a little bit witchy, a little bit bohemian and a little bit romantic, the Evermore era is for you. It's a little bit like the Folklore era but a bit more autumnal and vintage. Make sure you're wearing a maxi dress or skirt so you can twirl about like the woodland fairy you are during "Willow". This metallic maxi dress with a subtle floral print is basically perfect for the occasion. Just add slip-on sandals, loads of gold jewellery and a raffia bag.

Midnights

For Midnights, Taylor has turned to retro glamour to create a brand-new aesthetic that Swifties are already coveting. It's the perfect mix of '70s disco and Hollywood chic to create a unique, after-dark feel. If this is the era you choose to sport at the concert, meet Taylor at midnight in bejeweled outfits adorned with *all* the glitter, metallics and sequins. Do it in RI with these metallic jeans, sequin top and silver bag.
