What a time to be alive for die-hard Swifties. Taylor Swift fans have been treated to the re-release of her 2010 album Speak Now, now known as Speak Now (Taylor's Version), meaning many can barely contain themselves. Following her long-term battle to take back the rights to her own material, the singer has remained the focus of the public’s imagination for quite some time, with fans and fellow stars alike heralding her heroic actions.

 In the spirit of Swiftie sensationalism, we’ve decided to analyze not only Taylor's musical influence but also her grip on fashion. It’s no secret that she is a certified fashion girlie, as her wardrobe has spanned cowgirl western-wear to preppy 2010s concoctions and so much more across the years.

Throughout her reign, the global superstar has pioneered iconic silhouettes such as the skater skirt, the traditional Oxford brogue, and the recurring humble Breton striped long-sleeve. Unlike her glitzy on-stage archive that orbits around sequinned bodysuits and billowing gowns, Taylor’s everyday style is more understated, without ever sacrificing the ability to impress.

 So, without further ado, sit back, relax, and enjoy this deep dive into Taylor Swift’s best street-style moments to date.
