TAYLOR Swift's hotly-anticipated Eras Tour is well underway, and fans are flocking to the venues wearing their most dazzling finery as a nod to their favourite albums from the musician.
Some Swifties are opting for ethereal dresses, while others are going all out in sparkly, embellished, sequin mini dresses in vibrant hues, metallic cowboy boots, complete with cowboy hats, and an arm full of Taylor Swift-inspired beaded bracelets.
If you are heading to the Eras Tour and are stuck on what to wear, we have plenty of inspiration to help before Taylor Swift's Eras Tour comes to an end mid August.
A quick scroll through Instagram and you may well find your friends, relatives, and colleagues, have been heading to the concert in glitzy ensembles - and the bolder the better.
Many fans have stressed wearing comfortable shoes as you will be up on your feet for the duration while taking a cardigan, or jacket, maybe even a poncho depending on the weather is a good idea - especially as the temperature drops when you make your way home.

For many Swifties, they have drawn style inspiration from Taylor and her albums over the years.
Considering the 34-year-old singer has released 12 albums over her almost 20-year career, there are a lot of looks to emulate.
Taylor's debut namesake album (alongside Folklore), was a nod to her country roots and saw Taylor slip into bohemian maxi dresses, cowboy boots, double denim and whimsical ensembles, while Red or Speak Now were a nod to more vibrant colour palettes, such as red hues, and purple.
Her 1989 album saw Taylor style cowboy hats, double denim and two-piece co-ords.
Reputation saw Taylor turn to black tones, structured fabrics, leather, snake prints or motifs, and a more sultry grunge aesthetic.
Taylor's music videos and her stage outfits has always been eclectic, as she sashays in gold fringe mini dresses, asymmetric black leather catsuits, and everything in between.
Of course, you can always opt for Taylor Swift merchandise, such as t-shirts with her face on, or a slogan from one of her tracks for something a little more modest, yet still shows you're a loyal fan.
So, whether you are taking a leaf out of Taylor's concert style book, or seeking inspiration from the multitude of albums, there is an outfit to match with every Taylor Swift Era.
From bohemian and whimsical looks, countrycore, to grunge, sequin ensembles, to preppy vibes, we have sought out a handful of trends to weave into your Eras Tour wardrobe.
What to wear to the Eras Tour?
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift's debut album was named after the artist, which features tracks including Tim McGraw and sees Taylor grace the cover with her long golden hair styled in ringlets.

The album was released in 2006 in North America, only to be available two years later elsewhere in the world.
The album focused on Taylor's country roots, so it is no surprise the album sees a nod to bohemian and whimsical fashion, including dresses that are maxi length, blouson sleeves, or ruffle detail.
Alongside bohemian dresses, cowboy boots, double denim, as well as fringe jackets are a great way to capture this era of Taylor's music catalogue.
If we were to liken this era to a fashion brand it would be Free People. But when it comes to selecting one item to represent the first step of Taylor's successful music career it would have to be bohemian-inspired ethereal dresses.
M&S' new in collection is a great place to start, particularly the new Sienna Miller collection, which is inspired by bohemian festival dressing.
We would opt for muted colour palettes or soft pastels, as well as natural fabrics such as leather, suede and denim to provide the countryside aesthetic.
We personally think the style of Taylor's debut album is echoed in later albums, such as Folklore and Fearless, so it's a great starting point to layer other stylish pieces on top of.

Red
Red was Taylor's fourth studio album released in 2012 and featured tracks such as 22 and We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, which is bound to have any heartbroken audience member belting at the top of their lungs.
The album is centred around the emotions Taylor felt following a breakup, though which break-up she is referring to as sparked a wide debate - was it Harry Styles, Jake Gyllenhaal, or John Mayer?
The album saw Taylor change her style to become a more preppy version of herself, with red accents creeping into her wardrobe of course.
During performances, and in her accompanying music videos, Taylor would sport high-waisted shorts with a ruffle blouse, brogues, a Trilby hat and red lipstick, or a rouge bretton hat, camel mac, maybe even a pair of red trousers.
This style is super wearable and can be adapted to whatever suits your style best, whether that's with an accessory, make-up, or going bold with a red garment.
However, you could also combine this Taylor era with others, by wearing a red bohemian floaty dress to reference Red and Taylor Swift albums, for example.
The cuts are clean, tailoring is key, and a pop of colour makes for simple style tips to channel your inner heartbreak kid, though nothing is stopping you from channelling Taylor on stage in a deep red sequin blazer, or opting for a slogan T-shirt to attend the Eras Tour.
Taylor was often sported wearing high-waisted red shorts paired with a nautical-inspired striped t-shirt, and a glitzy gold beaded top, but in later albums, she wears a lot of matching co-ords, which is why we love Topshop's red nylon co-ord that you can pair with cowboy boots, playful accessories and a slogan t-shirt to nail several Taylor's looks.

Reputation
Reputation was a turning point in Taylor's career and marked a stark difference in her early music career.
Released in 2017, the album, which featured hit singles such as Look What You Made Me Do? and Ready For It? epitomised Taylor's revenge era.
Not only were the tracks more powerful, deep and punchy, but her style became the antithesis of those earlier tracks. Taylor swapped her soft pastel palettes, and floaty dresses for black leather fabrics, bodycon suits, and snake motifs.
In other words, we would class this era as Taylor's sexy grunge aesthetic and an empowering fashion statement.
To channel your inner Reputation era we would recommend black colours, sheer fabrics, as well as lace or beaded creations to add that touch of opulence, accessorised with gold belts and jewellery.
From skimpy beaded playsuits, or top and shorts separates, to leather trousers and crop tops, sheer lace skirts, there are plenty of ways to nail this look, and make it work even beyond the Eras Tour.
For those looking to go all out and dazzle the night away, we would opt for PLT's sequin playsuit, and pair it with metallic boots, as well as a snake belt, maybe even a red lip as a nod to Red album too.

Fearless
Fearless is Taylor's saw a transition from the girl next door to more glitz and glam.
Taylor started to sport more vibrant colours, metallics and textures, as sparkly fringe mini dresses and metallic cowboy boots started to weave their way into her wardrobe when performing.
Taylor often sported gold fringe mini dresses, tassels and embellishments, even down to her gold sequin guitar.
This era lends itself to being brave and bold with your looks and standing out in the crowd, so whatever outfit you choose to wear the key is to feel empowered in the look.
With the Fearless trend more is more, so you can pair a beaded gold co-ord with a metallic fringe jacket and boots, love heart rose-tinted glasses, and even more glitzy make-up.
Having said that, if you want to ease your way into the bolder style you can easily do so simply by shaking up your footwear.
Taylor has long been a fan of cowboy boots, so instead of opting for classic colours, such as black or tan, why not opt for a metallic pair?
When it comes to metallic cowboy boots, you can style them with a dress, playsuit, jeans, a skirt, or simply anything. You can keep your outfit casual by pairing a lace skirt with metallic boots a slogan t-shirt and a trilby hat, alternatively, you can pair it with a dazzling playsuit.

Lover
Taylor's Lover is her seventh album, released in 2019.
The album includes tracks, such as Cruel Summer and Lover, and is a happy medium between Taylor's former bohemian style and her more playful, eclectic and vibrant fashion influences.
Taylor typically leans into rainbow hues, soft pastel shades, ombre, as well as sequins, embellishments, and patterns connected to love, such as bows, butterflies and hearts.
This era invites Swifties to be playful with colour but also texture, with puff sleeves, frills, ruffles and tulle fabrics, which lends itself to added volume rather than the more slim-fitting silhouettes seen on Taylor in her Reputation era.
The Lover era sees the resurgence of denim jackets to layer over any look, whether it is a playsuit, dress, or co-ord, but boots remain hugely popular, whether it is metallic, knee or cowboy boots.
With sunset tones and soft pastels being the most popular colour palette for this era it is no surprise some have coined this style as a nod to Barbiecore.
Our go-to to nail this look would be the Sequin Dorris Skirt from Never Fully Dressed, paired with the matching cami top, a pair of metallic cowboy boots and an oversized denim jacket, and of course our beaded friendship bracelets and heart-shaped glasses.

Why are Swifties exchanging bracelets?
Swifties have brought back the nostalgic friendship bracelets, which are beaded designs, and often personalised, or a nod to Taylor Swift.
Taylor and her boyfriend Travis Kelce have both been spotted wearing beaded friendship bracelets, but that's not the true origin of the accessory.
In fact, friendship bracelets have been inspired by Taylor's 2022 album Midnights, in particular the track You're On Your Own Kid.
In the single, the lyrics are: "So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it", which fans have taken literally by buying, making and trading bracelets.
There has also been speculation the trend has seen a shortage of beads in some countries.
Why not get in on the trend and buy your own kit from Hobbycraft, Claire's or Amazon, and stack your wrists with friendship bracelets ahead of the tour?
