On Vacation in Lake Como, Italy
Worn On: 5/17/24 // Lake Como, Italy
the commentary
In between Eras Tour stops in Europe, Taylor opted for some vacation time at this very romantic and popular lakeside tourist destination in Italy.
I’d personally totally copy + paste this particular ‘fit. Doesn’t it have a certain classic Euro vacation energy to it? A classic trench, LBD, and coordinating black accessories feel timeless and chic. Particularly these on-trend mary jane ballerinas. The Cartier necklace is one Taylor started wearing last May and has pulled out intermittently - often with all black outfits as a fancy ‘pop’ I’d imagine.
Over the years of identifying Taylor’s fashion I’ve also noted a few key pillars of her style: repetition, high/low, and indie designers. The latter is present here with this new-to-her brand Palmer//Harding, based in London.
While I believe a trench to be a timeless wardrobe classic, this particular one is cut a little special. You’ll notice the more voluminous silhouette and wider sleeves that create a more relaxed look. Or in Taylor’s case when belted that mimic the fit/flare of the LBD she has on underneath and slides in neatly with her go-to feminine style.
It’s a bit of a running joke that you can recognize a Taylor photo by the presence of a yellow-tinged filter. The filter itself is the ‘Vintage Art Filter 1’ (alternately: ‘Fuckass Filter’) that comes as an automatic option within the physical camera body of her Olympus series camera. Taylor has carried an Olympus camera to snap personal photos for years (dating as far back as 2015).
Previously, Taylor’s Olympus was black and silver but from photos of her snapping photos with her camera on a boat in Lake Como it appears she’s updated the body to an all black style.
