Taylor Swift will be in town Friday, Mar. 31-Sunday, April 2 for “The Eras Tour” at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The concerts will feature songs from the last 15 years, encompassing 10 albums and lots of costumes.

Swifties did the hard part, getting tickets — so we’re helping you shop local and pick out an outfit based on different album aesthetics.

Pro tip: If you plan to bring a bag, make sure it’s on the approved list — like this Taylor Swift Clear Stadium Approved Bag.

“Red”

Pretty simple — wear something red. The era featured 2013 hipster aesthetics with graphic t-shirts, fedora hats, and black sequined shorts. Three (3460 Blue Bonnet Cir.) is serving looks with this Red Ruffled Tiered Skort and Sweetheart Crop Top.

“1989"

Think: Los Angeles glamour with a pop-princess flair featuring bright colors, glitter, and 1950s style. Shop at American Threads in University Park Village for the Joah Rose Applique Dress, Kai Sequin Crop Top, and Zachariah Studded Western Boot.

“Reputation”

Revenge is best served in style — honor the era with a grungy, hard-core look by accessorizing at Love Bee Hive (4808 Camp Bowie Blvd.) with Black Arizona Boots and a faux leather skort.

“Lover”

The “Lover” aesthetic relies on rainbows, pastels, and sequins. Stop by Hale House (4900 Camp Bowie Blvd.) to shop vibrant prints like a Hailey Sequin Heart Sweater paired with Cady Rhinestone Boots.

“Folklore and Evermore”

Embrace cottage-core with pastel colors, cardigans, and flannels. Prippie (4829 Camp Bowie Blvd.) has a variety of options like this Opal Floral Midi Dress and Natalie Boots.

“Midnight”

Taylor’s latest album combines soft glam with a mix of other eras — but if you want to embrace the “Lavender Haze” aesthetic, you can’t go wrong with the color purple. Add some sparkle from You Are Here (5109 Pershing Ave.) with Super Star-Purple Glitter shoes paired with a purple and silver pendant.

From the Editor

Ever heard of “the angels’ share”? Distillers use the phrase to describe the amount of liquid that evaporates from the cask while whiskey ages. Fort Worth-based company Devil’s Cask is working to reduce that by coating barrels in silicone. Learn more about how Blackland Distillery is using the technique.
