Ever since she burst onto the scene in 2006, Taylor Swift has taken over the music industry (and fans' hearts) with songs, albums, music videos, and so much more. Not a week has gone by without jamming out to classics like “Teardrops On My Guitar” and newer records like “Snow on the Beach,” and this year—with the Eras Tour, the accompanying concert film, and Taylor's Version re-records of Speak Now and 1989 all in play—just may be the biggest yet. While the musician started out with her iconic curly locks and cowboy boots, her style has evolved with each era and we've since seen her rock matching sets, blazers, and more. While her red carpet looks always steal the show, we’re especially enamored with her street style looks, which show a more casual, wearable take on how her taste has evolved. Interested in doing a deep dive with us? Keep reading to see 35 of the most iconic Taylor Swift street style outfits of all time.

Swift and Travis Kelce have been making major headlines lately, and we love the outfit the star was serving at the "SNL" afterparty. The long gray trench from Gant took center stage atop a black Versace corset, and for accessories, she opted for a handbag from celeb-favorite brand Aupen, black and gold Greymer heels, and Maria Tash jewelry.

We're getting Reputation-era vibes with this ensemble Swift wore to a recent Chiefs game. She wore Area denim cutoffs with crystal embellishments plus leather knee-high Christian Louboutin boots, showing her ability to make a statement without being too over-the-top. She finished the look with a Logan Hollowell chain necklace and a leather shacket from Gant, giving a subtle nod to the outfit-sandwiching trend.

During days off from the Eras Tour in summer 2023, Swift's street style was on point, and this white eyelet Ralph Lauren set creates a fresh look that would work for any season, depending on the accessories.

In 2016, Swift stepped out rocking a chic, monochromatic ensemble for a night out on the town in Manhattan. She paired a black Aritzia bodysuit with a darling white mini skirt, and we love how it looks with her strappy Louise Et Cie heels and Aspinal of London hard-sided clutch. If you remember 2016, you'll recall how popular chokers were, and her crystal necklace from Adornmonde truly makes the look.

If you look closely, you might notice that Swift's dress spells her name. And yes... it's indeed a dress, albeit styled in "baseball" fashion. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but we love that she's been a style risk-taker over her years in the spotlight. This dress was part of a collection exclusively available in China at the time, and we love how she styled it with heeled sandals from Stuart Weitzman. Her bag was from Elizabeth & James, the now-discontinued brand by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.
