Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re well aware that Taylor Swift’s much-anticipated album, The Tortured Poets Department, has just been released. And now we know that Ms. Swift was once again working overtime and not only gave us a new album, but a DOUBLE album. If you’ve been counting down the days for this release (like us), you know that simply listening to each track on repeat is not enough. In fact, a new era calls for a complete wardrobe refresh to match the vibes (sorry, not my rules). To help you get in the spirit of TTPD, we’ve compiled a list of The Tortured Poets Department-inspired fashion items that capture the ethereal, sepia mood board that Taylor has been hinting at for months.
If you’re new here, one thing you should know about The Everymom editors is that we’re dedicated Swifties. And oh how we’ve missed the thrill of guessing what Taylor’s new music will bring to the table. After thorough discussions and guesses, we predicted this album would be dreamy, moody, edgy, and a little bit sexy. At first glance, it looks like this album is as if Folklore and Reputation had a baby, but there’s just something about it that makes it stand out. One thing is certain: The Tortured Poets Department is unlike anything she’s ever created.
We wanted to help you experience the album in its entirety by putting together a selection of nearly 50 fashion items that are the perfect balance of sexy femininity meets dark and moody. No matter which of those is your usual vibe, you’ll love these timeless picks that will become new wardrobe staples. Happy TTPD release day, and may this album be everything you wish for and more!
The Tortured Poets Department-Inspired Fashion Pieces
Tops
If there’s one thing we can gather from The Tortured Poets Department video teasers, it’s that Taylor’s looks consist of lots of texture, sophistication, and black and white everything. To reflect just how intimate and mature her new album is, we’ve rounded up statement tops that can elevate any look. And just in case you’re looking to build up your collection of T-Swift merch, we’ve even included some TTPD gear that won’t disappoint!
10+ colors & multiple styles available
sizes S – 3XL
Bottoms
While this album gives off soft-feminine energy, there’s a subtle touch of edginess that we can see in the artwork. Our selection of bottoms encompasses just that and can be seen through the different styles of skirts and pants that give off either vibe. Plus, with our picks, you can easily mix and match with any of our tops from above.

Dresses & Sets
From what we know so far, our editors predict that the overall fashion aesthetic of this TS era is minimalistic with a feminine, ethereal edge. Think elements such as ruffles and bows, but paired with sexy materials—such as silk, sheer, and lace—and equally sexy silhouettes. Our dresses and sets embody just that, and can be great additions to your closet as staple items. The best part? These neutral pieces can be worn well beyond the TTPD era.
Shoes & Accessories
Fully immerse yourself in the TTPD era with a few fun accessories and shoes to finish off your outfits. Taylor and Lana Del Rey’s Grammys looks are a perfect example of the accessories that embody this album: gloves, black and silver jewelry, lace, and bows.
