Are you ready to make the whole place shimmer?
I’m starting off my outfit inspiration series with Midnights! I know many Swifties my age are fans who have had a very recent epiphany about T Swift, and Midnights is an album and Era familiar to all. Plus — in my opinion — the Midnights aesthetic is the most approachable for fans of all ages and body shapes.
The overall vibe for Midnights is 70s Glam, but the obvious literal interpretation is anything nighttime/celestial. Midnight/navy blue, black, moons, stars, and shimmery.
I decided to split the outfit inspirations into two tracks 1. Side A and Side B, if you will.
Side A is going full-on sparkly! I found some gorgeous dresses and a stunning jumper that light up the night sky, and I also threw in a lavender dress just in case you feel that haze creeping up on you.
You could also easily do black or navy sequin shorts, skirt, or pants with a Taylor t-shirt to bring some sparkle to an otherwise casual (and comfy!) outfit. Pair a sparkly top with distressed jeans, a cute denim skirt, or flowy wide-legged pants to mix-and-match the sparkly with the relaxed vibe.

Side B focuses on Taylor’s 70s vibe that was so evident in the Midnights Mayhem with Me series that she created on social media in the lead-up to the Midnights album release. The video for Anti-Hero is also heavily representative of 70s aesthetic.
This one is a little bit trickier to pull off, but if you can pull a 70s vibe together for the concert, there is no doubt you will stand out amongst the sequins and glitter! Keep the accessories extremely simple. In most of the Mayhem series, Taylor adds only delicate and simple touches like small gold hoop earrings.

I hope you see something here that fuels your Midnights fire!
TikTok tells me that some women — inspired by the Bejeweled video — are taking black bustier-top bodysuits and hand-bejeweling them! If you have time, energy, and desire to do that, you definitely should. And please send me a picture if you do!
Let me know if you think you’ll go with a Midnights-themed look.
Karma’s a relaxing thought,
Meg
