Taylor Swift may sell out stadiums, have an NFL boyfriend, and be a full-on billionaire as of last week, but she still dresses moderately lowkey. Don’t get that confused with having a subpar style; she brings the heat with sophisticated and timeless looks, leaving the feather capes, thong-bearing dresses, and latex ensembles to other celebs.
Enjoying an evening in New York City, Swift was spotted wearing a preppy school-girl outfit that looked like it came straight out of Serena van der Woodsen’s wardrobe. The ‘fit consisted of a sleek black top, sold-out Acne Studios corduroy mini skirt, Hunting Season satin crossbody bag, and Gianvito Rossi platform boots. But Swift’s leather blazer took her classic uniform to a more daring level.

$548
Wearing Madewell’s Larsen blazer, she channeled work-wife energy, turning an otherwise basic office staple into a full on fashion moment. It features a buttery soft leather, split lapels, structured panels, streamlined seams, and tortoise shell button details. The slightly oversized fit didn’t drown out her figure, but instead offered a roomy and comfortable silhouette.
Swift’s caramel-brown hue is almost sold out, but the black version is still fully stocked. I’ve owned the midnight black option since last year, and let me tell you, you don’t want to pass it up. I literally just wore it last night, coordinating the separate with a gray knit dress, Rebeccca Minkoff flap purse, and knee-high Marc Fisher boots. But I’ve worn the leather top layer with casual ‘fits as well, including boyfriend jeans, white tees, and chunky New Balance sneakers. My best friend makes it even more lowkey by styling her own leather blazer with an oversized Aritzia hoodie.

$59
But stealing Swift’s look doesn’t have to cost $548 (unless you’re in the market for her exact style). Steve Madden offers an on-sale option for $59 that almost copies her coffee-toned jacket to a T with notched lapels, faux leather, and a dramatic back seam.
Risissida Vegan Leather Blazer
Amazon
$70
$48
I found an even more affordable version on Amazon for $48 that shoppers call the “perfect fall staple.” Functional pockets combine both style and practicality in one, and a belted option gives you the same sleek look with a waist-cinching style.
