It’s hard to miss that Taylor Swift is diving headfirst into her showgirl phase. From her glitzy mini skirts on The Tonight Show to her nod to Elizabeth Taylor in the music video for “The Fate of Ophelia,” she’s definitely gone all out in her wardrobe for the launch of her latest album, The Life of a Showgirl. Yet, amidst all the dazzling sequins and daring Bob Mackie creations, Swift is also bringing back the nostalgic autumn styles that defined her millennial era. After all, you can take the girl out of Folklore, but you can’t take Folklore out of the girl.

Recently, Swift was seen in New York sporting a look that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of “All Too Well (10-Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)”: a chic pleated Miu Miu miniskirt paired with knee-high boots from Jennifer Chamandi. This ensemble has the quintessential vibe of Gilmore Girls mixed with Gossip Girl, a signature style for the singer, who shows a penchant for tartan regardless of the season.
This outfit is part of an ongoing trend of school girl-inspired ensembles we’ve come to associate with Swift, complemented by a small Christian Dior top-handle bag and her ever-present signature Cartier watch, which adds a touch of elegance to her look.
