What to Wear to a Taylor Swift "The Life of a Showgirl" Release Party (and Eventual Tour)

Jaded London Velour Cardigan ($115)

Though it remains to be seen what season Swift will plan her tour in, you can never go wrong with a cropped cardigan. We love this velour one from Jaded London that screams Y2K (and T-Swift).

Agolde Vana Fold Wide Leg Jeans ($209, originally $278)

We're still not over the foldover jeans that Swift wore while promoting the album, which will be available at Target, "The Life of a Showgirl: The Crowd is Your King Edition." The jeans in question? Agolde's Vana jeans with a folded waistband, along with a black top, and oversize blazer, giving us an easy outfit idea for the potential tour. Another plus? The silhouette is currently marked down for the Bloomingdale's Friends & Family sale.

Kim Shui Sequin Mini Dress ($320)

Are you really nailing the "Taylor Swift orange showgirl" aesthetic if you don't have a showgirl dress? We love this Kim Shui number, which features a lace-up back and a halterneck tie closure for added comfort. It's the perfect number to dance all night in.

The Tortured Poets Cocktail Club Tote Bag ($16)

Every stadium tends to have a different bag policy, but if you can get away with carrying this cute tote in, it'll make the most darling addition to your Eras Tour outfit. The bag features a romantic print across the front which pulls inspiration from the title track of Swift's latest album release, "The Tortured Poets Department."

Sequin Tuxedo Tailcoat ($40)

If you've seen videos of Swift's "Tortured Poets" set on TikTok, then you already know that she leans fully into her inner-theater kid within the performance — and somehow makes her 3-hour show even better. While she might not actually be performing with a broken heart (at least not these days), Swift certainly knows how to put on a spectacle that showcases all of the emotions present in her songwriting — and all while wearing kitten heels and a sparkly tailcoat, no less.

Scktoo High-Waisted Pleated Tennis Skirt ($25)

As far as "The Tortured Poets Department" tour outfits go, we recommend channeling a dark-academia aesthetic with preppy pieces like this pleated mini skirt. Pair it with an oversize sweatshirt, knee-high socks, and chunky mules for a look that's (you guessed it) so tortured and so poetic.

Snake Ring ($13)

We love this snake ring because it will double as the most perfect addition to any Taylor Swift-inspired outfit — especially if you're looking to channel her "Reputation" era (aka Swifties' actual favorite Taylor Swift album), and it'll also serve as a great everyday ring once the concert is over. The silver jewelry piece has a unique design that resembles the look of a snake seamlessly wrapping around your finger.

Comme des Garçons Play x Converse Unisex Chuck Taylor Sneakers ($150)

You'll likely be standing on your feet for the entirety of the Eras Tour concert (it is a Taylor Swift concert, after all), so naturally, you'll want a comfortable pair of sneakers. These unique high-top sneakers are a favorite of POPSUGAR editors, and even feature a darling heart detailing that feels so on brand with the "Lover" album. Plus, if you're planning on attending several shows, these sneakers will pair beautifully in a number of different Eras Tour outfits.

Sportsmusies Panels Newsboy Leather Cap ($20)

We know all too well that Swift's "Red" era is a special one for fans of the superstar musician. In the album cover art for "Red (Taylor's Version)," she famously donned a red beret cap that looked curiously similar to this vintage newsboy cap from Amazon. What better way to tap into Swift's "Red" Tour outfits than with this romantic accessroy?

Topdress Halter Retro Cocktail Dress ($37)

Slip into this deep-purple halter dress, and you'll be transported back to the very first time you saw Swift perform live — especially if you attended the "Speak Now" tour, where she donned a similar cocktail dress and belted out romantic ballads like "Sparks Fly" along with heartbreaking hits like "Dear John." If you're lucky, she might even include a song from that enchanting era in her surprise setlist for the concert.
