Taylor Swift has given fans an entire costume rail to borrow from: sundresses and cowboy boots, cardigans, ball gowns, sequined bodysuits and the orange showgirl sparkle of her newest era. Every album from Debut through The Tortured Poets Department and The Life of a Showgirl has at least one look people can name on sight. What makes her such a good costume is that each era hangs on one or two signals, a colour, a garment, a hairstyle, so you rarely need an exact replica. Below I've gone through forty of them the way I'd style them for a real night out, with the hair, makeup, props and shoes, plus where thrifted or closet pieces will do the job.

Adding Sparkle Without a Sequin Budget
Half of these costumes depend on sparkle, and it's the part most people get wrong at home. The problem is rarely the look of the stones; it's how they stay on once you start moving. Here's how I approach it.
- Stretch fabric needs stitches. Bodysuits, leotards and knit dresses stretch every time you bend, and glue cracks off them. Sew-on stones or rhinestone trim, tacked every inch or two, stay put.
- Glue is fine on stiff surfaces. Hats, cardboard props, microphones, shoes and structured jackets take a flexible fabric or jewellery glue well. Let it cure overnight; it needs far longer than it takes to feel dry.
- Iron-on stones suit cotton and denim. They need real heat and pressure, so they don't suit sequined, nylon or very thin fabrics that melt or pucker.
- Mark the pattern first. A chalk line or a few pins showing where the swirls, stars or snakes go saves you from a lopsided design.
One more thing: a thrifted sequin dress or jacket is almost always cheaper and sturdier than hand-gluing a plain one. I look at the back of the fabric before buying. If the sequins are stitched in long chains, one loose thread can unravel a whole row, so a dot of clear nail polish on any loose end is worth doing before you wear it.
1. Taylor Swift Debut Era Costume With Cowboy Boots

Debut is the gentlest place to start. A breezy white sundress in eyelet or with tiered ruffles, a light denim jacket and brown cowboy boots give you her early country look. Long curls matter more than the exact dress, so use a golden-blonde wig if your hair won't hold a curl. Keep the makeup fresh: rosy cheeks, neutral shadow, a glossy lip. A cardboard guitar cut-out works as well as a real one and is far easier to carry. Add a turquoise pendant, stacked bracelets and a small crossbody bag. It suits school events and outdoor parties where nobody wants scratchy sequins.
2. Teardrops On My Guitar Taylor Swift Costume

The "Teardrops on My Guitar" look lives in pale green. A pale green or teal maxi with soft ruching or layered chiffon is the base; chiffon catches on rough wooden floors and car doors, so check the hem before you leave. Curl long blonde hair and pin one side back with a jeweled clip. Silvery green shadow, pink blush and a nude gloss suit the dreamy video. A light guitar prop with a few rhinestones carries the reference, and silver bracelets with drop earrings add enough shine. Choose silver flats, low heels or embellished sandals.
3. Fearless Gold Fringe Taylor Swift Costume

Fringe is made for dancing, so this Fearless dress should move. A gold mini with layered fringe, metallic sequins or tassels goes over matching dance shorts. Fringe tangles when you sit on it, so give it a shake and a quick comb with your fingers every so often. Her long curls are essential; a curling wand or a curled wig both work. Warm gold shadow, defined lashes and light pink lipstick suit it, and the "13" on one hand should be drawn with a skin-safe liner. A silver toy microphone and gold ankle boots or glitter sneakers finish it.
4. Love Story Taylor Swift Princess Costume

For "Love Story", any cream, white or pale gold floor-length gown with a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt gives the fairytale shape; you don't need a replica. I'd wear a slip under a thin gown, because cream fabric goes see-through in camera flash. A loose braided updo with a few curls left at the face, champagne shadow and pink lipstick keep it soft. Add a jeweled headband, pearl earrings and long gloves if it's cool, and carry a small bouquet or an old-fashioned envelope. Ballet flats or low block heels stay comfortable under all that skirt at formal parties.
5. You Belong With Me Pajama Taylor Swift Costume

Short on time? The pajama look from "You Belong With Me" is plaid sleep pants and a plain white T-shirt covered in handwritten names and doodles. Put a piece of cardboard inside the shirt before you start with fabric markers, or the ink bleeds through to the back. A relaxed ponytail with messy face-framing pieces, tinted moisturiser and pink lip balm keep the face simple. Thick-framed glasses and a notebook or a homemade bedroom-window sign are the props. White sneakers or fuzzy house shoes finish it, and it's cheap and comfortable for classroom parties or handing out candy.
6. Junior Jewels Taylor Swift Costume

Junior Jewels is the same video from another angle. Write "Junior Jewels" across a white T-shirt in fabric marker and fill the space around it with names, stars and hearts. Pair it with plaid pajama pants, or navy shorts if the night is mild. A loose ponytail and square glasses are the signature, with natural makeup and lightly flushed cheeks. Carry a spiral notebook or a small handmade sign, and wear white socks with canvas sneakers. My favourite touch: get your friends to sign the shirt before the party, so it ends up a keepsake.
7. Speak Now Purple Ball Gown Taylor Swift Costume

The Speak Now purple gown is the easiest era to spot from across a room. A floor-length lavender, violet or deep purple dress with a full skirt and a sparkly bodice does it, and prom dresses from a thrift shop are often exactly right. Do try the skirt on with the shoes you'll wear, because a full skirt that's too long gets stepped on. Curl long blonde hair into a half-up style with a jeweled comb. Lilac shadow, defined lashes and soft pink lipstick suit it. Crystal earrings and a toy microphone or purple booklet finish it, with ballet flats or low block heels hidden underneath.
8. Mean Music Video Taylor Swift Costume

"Mean" is the one for people who don't want glitter. A cream prairie-style dress with puff sleeves or lace trim, neutral tights and lace-up boots set the vintage country mood, and a fitted brown vest or narrow belt gives it shape. Pin back polished blonde curls with a ribbon or antique-style clip. Soft brown shadow, peach blush and a muted rose lip suit it. A light banjo-shaped prop, a vintage suitcase or a sheet of handwritten music tells the story. Small pearl earrings and a cameo-style necklace finish it, and it's comfortable enough for daytime events.
9. Red Tour Ringmaster Taylor Swift Costume

The Red Tour ringmaster look is built around a red sequined tailcoat with black lapels over a white button-down and high-waisted black shorts. Sequined tailcoats shed if they're cheaply made, so I check the back of the fabric for loose threads and dab clear nail polish on any I find. Sheer black tights and a black top hat, with curls or a curled wig tucked under it, finish the shape. Red lipstick and winged liner are classic Red. Carry a gold-topped costume cane or a toy microphone and wear black ankle boots or low Oxfords. Red, black and white photograph clearly anywhere.
10. 22 Music Video Taylor Swift Costume

The "22" look is casual and easy to read. Black high-waisted shorts and a white graphic tee with the "A Lot Going On at the Moment" line are the core; you can print the phrase on iron-on transfer paper or letter it with fabric paint. A black fedora, heart-shaped sunglasses and bright red lipstick do the rest, with blonde hair straight or softly waved under the hat. Carry a small speaker or a red notebook. Pick shoes for how long you'll stand: ankle boots look sharp, sneakers last. Friendship bracelets add a fan detail, and it's a good group or last-minute pick for teens.
11. All Too Well Autumn Taylor Swift Costume

"All Too Well" is really a fall outfit. A black turtleneck, dark skinny jeans and a rust, camel or burgundy wool coat set it up, and the deep red scarf is the centrepiece, so don't compromise on that colour. Soft waves with eyebrow-skimming bangs, brown liner and a muted red lip keep the face natural. Clip-in bangs are a good way to try the fringe without cutting. Carry a notebook, an artificial autumn leaf or a vintage car key. Brown lace-up boots and warm socks make it fine for outdoor events, and every piece can be worn again.
12. We Are Never Getting Back Together Taylor Swift Costume

For the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" band look, a long-sleeve printed pajama-style top with matching pants does the work, with black glasses and a bright red lip. Wear blonde hair loose with straight bangs, or a shoulder-length wig cut the same way. Keep the eyes simple so the glasses stay the focus. A toy microphone, a small stuffed animal or a speech-bubble sign with the song title is a fun prop. Loafers, sneakers or flat ankle boots keep it practical. For a group, friends can wear animal onesies as the band, which is warm and funny.
13. 1989 Blue Crop Top Taylor Swift Costume

For 1989, a bright blue crop top and skater skirt set is the base, in sequins, metallic fabric or a plain set trimmed with rows of rhinestones. Rhinestone trim on a stretchy top needs to be stitched every couple of inches, because glue alone pops off when the fabric stretches. Dance shorts go underneath. A blonde bob with side-swept bangs is her signature 1989 hair, with red lipstick and crisp black liner. A toy microphone and friendship bracelets are the accessories. Metallic blue ankle boots look closest to stagewear; silver sneakers are kinder. Throw a light bomber over it on a cold night.
14. Shake It Off Cheerleader Taylor Swift Costume

The "Shake It Off" cheerleader is one of the most comfortable costumes on this list. A modest pleated cheer dress, or a sporty blue top and matching skirt with yellow trim, a high ponytail tied with a ribbon, blue liner and glossy lips are all it takes. Light blue-and-yellow pom-poms and white wristbands finish the reference. White crew socks and supportive sneakers mean you can dance or walk all night. On a cold evening, nude fleece-lined tights under the skirt are warm and nobody notices them. The clear colours and sporty shape make it easy for other fans to place.
15. Blank Space Black Lace Taylor Swift Costume

"Blank Space" is polished drama in black lace with pearls and red lipstick. A fitted midi or knee-length lace dress with long sleeves or a high neck is the base. Cheap lace can be scratchy at the cuffs and neckline, so I line those edges with a strip of soft tulle or wear a thin layer underneath. Smooth vintage waves pinned behind one ear, winged liner and a deep red lip finish the face. Pearl earrings, a short pearl necklace and black gloves add polish, and a white artificial rose or ornate frame is the prop. Black pumps, flats or heeled ankle boots suit it.
16. Wildest Dreams Yellow Gown Taylor Swift Costume

The "Wildest Dreams" gown is a flowing yellow maxi, in mustard, golden yellow or pale lemon, with a fitted waist and sweeping skirt. To fake her short vintage curls, pin long hair under in sections, or use a softly waved bob wig. Winged liner, sculpted brows, peach blush and matte red lipstick suit it. Yellow is a tricky colour next to some skin tones, so hold the dress up to your face in daylight before buying. Gold earrings and a faux camera or travel journal make good props. Brown sandals or low gold heels, and a light shawl rather than a bulky coat, keep it wearable.
17. Reputation Snake Bodysuit Taylor Swift Costume

For Reputation, start with a long-sleeve black romper, fitted jumpsuit or leotard over opaque tights, then add red sequin snake appliques curling up one side. I sew appliques on with a few stitches at each curve rather than gluing; glue lifts at the tips the first time you bend. Tousled waves with a controlled wet-look finish, smoky eyes, strong liner and a small snake drawn near the cheek in skin-safe makeup finish the face. A toy microphone, a black choker and snake jewellery add to it. Sturdy black ankle boots or flat knee-highs make it a strong look that works on many body types.
18. Look What You Made Me Do Hooded Taylor Swift Costume

The "Look What You Made Me Do" costume layers a black sequined romper under an oversized hooded robe that opens at the front so the sparkle shows. Opaque tights add warmth and coverage. Hoods flatten curls fast, so I'd set the waves with a strong hairspray or tuck part of the hair in deliberately. Charcoal shadow, sharp winged liner and dark berry lipstick suit the mood, with rhinestone earrings and a chunky metallic necklace to bring light to the face. A faux jeweled compact or a small throne-shaped sign is the prop. Platform or combat-style boots finish it with drama, not gore.
19. Delicate Blue Fringe Taylor Swift Costume

"Delicate" turns into a fun dance costume with a blue fringe mini in teal, aqua or royal blue, covered in sequins or beaded tassels. Beaded fringe is heavy, so check the straps are strong and wear fitted shorts underneath. A relaxed updo with loose strands at the face, dewy skin, silver-blue shadow and pale pink lipstick keep it fresh. A folded paper note or a small hotel key card is a quiet nod to the video. Crystal earrings and a thin bracelet are all the extra shine needed, with silver block heels, blue ankle boots or glitter sneakers.
20. Lover Pastel Blazer Taylor Swift Costume

Lover means pastels and hearts. A glittering pink bodysuit or fitted top with high-waisted shorts goes under a pale pink or lavender blazer, with nude or pastel tights. Colour the ends of loose waves with washable pink spray, and test it on a hidden strand first, because some sprays stain very light blonde hair for a few washes. Pink-and-blue shadow, a glossy lip and a small glitter heart by one eye, fixed with cosmetic adhesive, finish the face. Carry a pastel microphone and stack friendship bracelets. Add a fitted long-sleeve top underneath if it's cold.
21. You Need To Calm Down Pink Coat Taylor Swift Costume

"You Need to Calm Down" is all about the oversized hot-pink faux-fur coat. Under it go high-waisted shorts with a sparkly bodysuit, or a one-piece swimsuit over opaque tights. Faux fur sheds on everything at first, so give the coat a good shake outdoors and a lint roll before you wear it. A high ponytail with pink-dipped ends, from temporary spray or clip-in extensions, plus pink shadow and black liner finish the look. Heart-shaped sunglasses and a colourful drink cup are fun, light props. Choose pink sneakers or platforms with secure straps, and the coat keeps you warm outdoors.
22. ME! Pastel Marching Band Taylor Swift Costume

The "ME!" marching band look needs a cropped blue or pink military-style jacket with gold trim over a skater skirt or tailored shorts and opaque tights. A small pastel parade hat stays put if you anchor it with two hairpins crossed through a hidden elastic. Loose curls with pink or blue temporary streaks, pastel shadow, winged liner and a glossy pink lip suit it. Carry a light baton with ribbons or a toy microphone. White lace-up boots, pastel ankle boots or clean sneakers finish it. The jacket's structure keeps it looking polished while the colours stay candy-bright.
23. Folklore Cardigan Taylor Swift Costume

The Folklore cardigan is the coziest costume here, and most of it is everyday clothing. A cream cable-knit cardigan with dark star patches goes over a white blouse or grey camisole, with a plaid skirt, shorts or relaxed grey trousers. If your cardigan doesn't have stars, cut them from felt and stitch them on by hand, since iron-on glue doesn't stick well to chunky knit. Loose natural waves, taupe shadow and rosy balm keep it quiet. A notebook, fountain pen or wildflowers suit the storytelling side, and brown boots or loafers finish it for chilly nights outdoors.
24. Folklore Eras Tour White Dress Taylor Swift Costume

The Folklore stage dress is a flowing white or cream maxi with flutter sleeves, soft pleats, tiers or a little lace. A light grey cape gives warmth without hiding the gown; I'd choose a cape over a coat for exactly that reason. Loose waves with braided sections pinned across the back, soft brown shadow, peach blush and a muted rose lip suit it. Make a moss microphone by gluing faux greenery round a toy mic, or carry woodland flowers. Neutral flats, beige ankle boots or low cream heels finish it for family parties or literary-themed nights.
25. Evermore Plaid Coat Taylor Swift Costume

Evermore is the costume I'd suggest for a properly cold night, because it's all layers. A rust knit sweater, dark corduroy pants or a long brown skirt and a knee-length orange-and-black plaid coat make the look. A loose side braid with wavy strands left out, earthy brown shadow and a brick-red lip suit the mood. Carry a notebook, an artificial ivy branch or a vintage-style lantern with a battery light, never a real candle. Simple gold earrings, a narrow belt if it needs shape, and brown hiking or lace-up boots finish it. You'll wear every piece again.
26. Willow Green Cape Taylor Swift Costume

"Willow" can be enchanting without going dark. A cream prairie dress with lace trim and puff sleeves goes under a deep green velvet cape tied loosely at the neck. Velvet is heavy, so a cape tie pulls at the throat after a while; a hidden hook on each shoulder spreads the weight. A low braided bun or crown braid dotted with tiny artificial flowers, gold shadow and rosy cheeks suit it. A battery-operated orb, faux vine or small lantern is the woodland prop, and brown boots or lace-up flats keep it grounded for outdoor fall photos.
27. Midnights Star Romper Taylor Swift Costume

Midnights is dark blue sequins and stars. A navy romper or fitted mini decorated with silver stars, crystals or rhinestones goes under a dark blue faux-fur coat with sheer tights. A polished updo with side-swept bangs, navy shimmer shadow, black liner and a berry-red lip suit it. Star-shaped earrings, silver bracelets and a sparkly microphone are the accessories. Midnight-blue ankle boots or silver platforms look stage-ready, and glitter sneakers are the comfortable swap. The silver against deep blue reads well in party photos, but keep the accessories light so it stays easy to wear.
28. Bejeweled Taylor Swift Costume

Bejeweled is the one time more sparkle really is better. Start with a dark navy bodysuit, mini or romper and cover the neckline and bodice with large acrylic gems in blue, silver and purple. Sew-on gems with holes stay put far better than flat-backs on anything that bends; save the glue for stiff areas. A short hooded cape or light glitter shoulder pieces, an elegant updo with jeweled pins, bright blue shadow and face gems finish it. A rhinestone compact or a small decorative clock is the prop. Silver heels or jeweled ankle boots suit it, and secure every gem so nothing snags as you sit.
29. Lavender Haze Taylor Swift Costume

Lavender Haze is soft purple layers. A black camisole or bodysuit with dark shorts goes under a lavender faux-fur coat, which is the whole point of the look. Purple or sheer black tights add coverage. Loose, slightly tousled waves with bangs, lavender shadow with a little glitter and a neutral pink lip suit it; glitter migrates everywhere, so set it with a clear glitter glue rather than loose powder. Silver hoops and a purple battery light or a fluffy lavender pillow are easy props. White platform sneakers or silver ankle boots finish a look made almost entirely of separates.
30. Anti-Hero Striped Shirt Taylor Swift Costume

"Anti-Hero" is a great last-minute costume: an oversized retro striped polo in warm yellow, orange and blue tones with dark high-waisted shorts. Thrift shops are full of striped polos, and buying one size up gets the slouchy shape. Add knee-high socks or opaque tights if you'd like more coverage. A loose, slightly messy ponytail with straight bangs and natural makeup with peach blush suit it. A notebook labelled with the song title or a cardboard clock makes the reference clear. Vintage-style sneakers, loafers or brown lace-ups finish it with no sewing or rhinestones.
31. Eras Tour Lover Bodysuit Taylor Swift Costume

The Eras Tour Lover bodysuit is pink and blue with rhinestones in curved, flame-like swirls. Start with a fitted romper or a sleeveless top with high-waisted shorts, draw the swirls in chalk first, then stitch or glue the stones along the lines. Nude dance tights and sparkly knee-high boots finish the body. Soft waves with side-swept bangs, pink-and-blue shadow and a bright red or pink lip suit it. Carry a rhinestone microphone and stack friendship bracelets on both wrists. A light sequined blazer keeps you warm between photos, and you can change the colours or sleeves to suit you.
32. Eras Tour Fearless Gold Dress Taylor Swift Costume

The Eras Tour Fearless dress is a short gold fringe dress with sparkly boots. Look for dense rows of metallic tassels, or sew fringe trim onto a simple dance dress; stitch each row along the top edge twice, because single-stitched fringe pulls loose when you dance. Matching shorts and nude tights make a secure base. Long defined curls should move freely. Gold shadow, black mascara and a glossy pink lip suit it, with "13" drawn on one hand in cosmetic liner and a silver microphone. Gold cowboy boots are the strongest reference; metallic ankle boots work too.
33. Eras Tour 22 Taylor Swift Costume

The Eras Tour "22" swaps the plain video outfit for a red sequined jacket or long glittery coat over black shorts, a white tee with a short playful phrase and a black fedora. Straight blonde hair with bangs falls below the shoulders. Red lipstick and sharp winged liner are the Red-era signature. Carry a toy microphone and wear plenty of friendship bracelets, since trading them is half the fun at a party. Black Oxfords, loafers or low ankle boots keep it comfortable. It gives you stage sparkle without squeezing into a fitted bodysuit or a formal gown.
34. Eras Tour Speak Now Purple Gown Taylor Swift Costume

For the Eras Tour Speak Now gown, look for a fitted sparkly bodice with a full tulle or organza skirt in lavender, violet or orchid. A petticoat adds volume, but tulle catches on everything at knee height, so keep the hem off the floor. Soft curls in a romantic half-up style, lilac shadow, long lashes and pink lipstick suit it. Crystal earrings, a jeweled bracelet and a purple microphone are the finishing touches, with ballet flats or low block heels underneath. It's a strong choice when a group of friends each take a different era.
35. Eras Tour Reputation Catsuit Taylor Swift Costume

The Reputation catsuit is one-legged and black with red sequin snakes. The easier route is a fitted black jumpsuit with curling red sequin designs stitched to one leg, one sleeve and the opposite side of the bodice, which gives the same asymmetric effect. A nude mesh panel can copy the cut-away look with full coverage. Textured waves, smoky shadow, bold liner and bronzed cheeks suit it. Snake earrings, black gloves and a red rhinestone microphone add to it. Black knee-high or ankle boots finish it. Keep the appliques flat and flexible so you can sit without cracking them.
36. Tortured Poets White Dress Taylor Swift Costume

The Tortured Poets stage look is a white corset-style dress with script or scattered black lettering. Rather than marking a good dress, I'd write the phrases on a sheer organza overlay or a removable skirt layer with fabric marker; it looks just as convincing and the dress survives. Wear white or nude shorts underneath. Windswept waves, pale grey shadow, black liner and a muted red lip suit the monochrome. A black choker, short white gloves and a white microphone finish it, with white lace-up ankle boots or dance heels. The silhouette and the handwriting carry it, no props needed.
37. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart Costume

For the "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" look, a black sequined bralette goes over a fitted camisole with high-waisted black shorts, a white cropped tailcoat, black gloves, sheer tights and a small black top hat. Smooth waves, silver shadow, crisp liner and red lipstick suit the showgirl polish. Carry a silver microphone or a light show card. Black dance shoes, heeled ankle boots or loafers finish it. If you'd like more coverage, a sequined tank in place of the bralette looks almost identical once the tailcoat is on.
38. Life Of A Showgirl Orange Costume

The Life of a Showgirl era is orange, red and gold, which gives fans a fresh look next to the older albums. A crystal-covered orange bodysuit or a sequined mini with a detachable fringed skirt is the base. For the feather headpiece, I'd use lightweight fabric leaves or a short cluster of feathers on a comb, because tall plumes block the view of everyone behind you. Polished waves, gold shadow, winged liner and a rich red lip suit it, along with long sparkly gloves and a jeweled microphone. Orange ankle boots or gold dance heels finish it, and flexible trims keep it comfortable for dancing.
39. Fate Of Ophelia Silver Gown Taylor Swift Costume

The "Fate of Ophelia" gown is long, silver and covered in crystals or metallic embroidery, ideally with long sleeves and a heart detail at the bodice. If your dress lacks the heart, a jeweled heart applique stitched at the centre front works. Soft sculpted waves or a loose updo, silver shadow, luminous skin and a muted berry lip suit it. Crystal drop earrings, long silver gloves and a small artificial flower complete the poetic side. Silver flats or low heels keep the length manageable, and a pale blue wrap adds warmth without fighting the metallic palette.
40. Grammys White Gown Taylor Swift Costume

The list ends with her white Grammys gown and black opera gloves. A strapless or sleeveless floor-length white dress with a structured bodice and a draped skirt is the base; strapless dresses slide down, so I add a strip of silicone gripper tape inside the top edge. Long black gloves, layered silver necklaces and a small black choker add the contrast. A side-swept textured updo, winged liner and classic red lipstick finish the face. A gramophone made from painted cardboard is a fun prop, or carry a metallic clutch. Black heels or pointed flats suit formal parties and celebrity-themed groups.
An Eras Group That Reads as One Tour
Taylor costumes are made for groups, because every friend can take a different era. The risk is that ten random outfits just look like a party. A few small choices tie them together.
- Agree that everyone carries a toy microphone, so even the casual looks read as performers.
- Pick eras with clearly different colours: Speak Now purple, Lover pastels, Reputation black and red, Midnights navy, Showgirl orange. Two people in white gowns blur together in photos.
- Stack friendship bracelets on everyone's wrists and trade them during the night; it's the one detail every fan recognises.
- Stand in album order for the group photo. It sounds fussy, but it makes the theme obvious at a glance.
Bodysuits on a Cold October Night
Many of her stage looks are basically a bodysuit and bare legs, which is miserable outside in late October. I put a thin skin-tone thermal layer or a nude long-sleeve top under the bodysuit, and choose fleece-lined tights in a shade close to your skin, which pass for bare legs in photos. A faux-fur coat or a long cape suits most eras anyway, so bring one and take it off for pictures. Boots beat heels on cold, wet pavements. If you're dancing indoors afterwards, pick layers you can peel off and carry in a small bag, not ones that need a cloakroom.
Which Era Will You Wear This Halloween?
Every one of these looks works when you choose the era you love most and make it comfortable enough for the whole night. Go glamorous with a jeweled Eras Tour bodysuit, romantic in the Speak Now gown, cozy in the Folklore cardigan or casual in the "22" outfit. Get the colour, the silhouette, the hair and one clear prop right, and nobody will ask for an exact replica. Thrift shops, a craft store and your own wardrobe can cover most of it. Then sort out supportive shoes and a warm layer before you leave the house.
