Taylor Swift Ditched Denim on Date Night in Favor of Comfy Pants in This Surprising Fabric — Shop from $40
Her top leaned into the season’s earthy color wheel, too
Every New York City date night between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is an opportunity for fresh fall wardrobe inspiration. Most recently, Swift reminded me that jeans aren’t the only option for a comfortable pair of pants on crisp evenings.
Instead of denim, she styled a pair of velvety brown pants in a roomy silhouette. To complete the autumnal ensemble, she wore a ribbed green long-sleeve shirt with lace detailing, accessorized with brown loafers and a $3,100 top-handle bag by Gucci.
Below, I found lookalikes for Swift’s look at Nordstrom, Madewell, and more. Prices start at just $17.

Cicy Bell Velvety Barrel-Leg Pants
The standout piece of Swift’s ensemble is undoubtedly her chocolate brown pants. Seemingly constructed of a velvety material, the wide-leg bottoms look equal parts sophisticated and soft. This under-$50 pair is a close match thanks to its plush material and roomy silhouette. There’s also an elastic waistband that provides added comfort for long office days or extended dinner dates.
Dream Pairs Penny Loafers
Swift also joins the many well-dressed celebrities I’ve spotted in loafers. Similar to hers, this slip-resistant pair has a shiny brown exterior and scrunched detailing around the toe box. One teacher, who’s “always looking for shoes that I can be comfortable in all day,” gave these an A+. Another buyer shared that they’re “very comfortable” right out of the box.

EasyGala Ribbed Long-Sleeve Shirt
Keeping it within the fall-forward color wheel, Swift paired the rich brown pants with a muted olive-colored top. For under $20, you can copy her style down to the ribbed texture and lace detailing. In one shopper’s words: It’s “super comfy, soft, and stretchy without it feeling cheap.” A top like this would also look sleek when layered under a leather jacket or structured blazer.
Kate Spade Riley Small Top-Handle Bag, $86 in cart
Swift’s exact bag is well outside of my budget. That being said, I can still mimic her look via this 77-percent-off find. It also offers a top-handle design, but with the added bonus of an included crossbody strap for hands-free movement.
There are even more Taylor Swift-inspired pieces to explore below including an ultra-cushioned pair of loafers at Nordstrom.
