Okay so.

I've been to three Eras Tour shows. Yes, three. And each time I'm literally studying what Taylor's wearing like it's my final exam.

Because here's the thing - her tour wardrobe isn't just costumes. It's a whole fashion moment that's spawned thousands of recreations, Halloween costumes, and honestly? Some of the best concert outfit inspo I've ever seen.

Let me break down every single era outfit and where you can actually find similar pieces without spending your rent money.

The Lover Era Bodysuit

That pink and blue ombré bodysuit with the matching boots? Iconic.

I spent weeks trying to find something similar. The original is custom Versace, which... yeah, not happening for most of us. But here's what I discovered.

ASOS has this incredible sequined bodysuit in pink that gives major Lover vibes. It's like $65. I bought it. No regrets.

For the boots, try DSW or even Target during their collaboration drops. I found knee-high boots in a similar sparkly finish for under $50.

The key is finding pieces with that same playful, romantic energy. Think pastels, sequins, and anything that makes you feel like you're living in a daydream.

Fearless - The Gold Fringe Dress

This one's my personal favorite.

That gold fringe dress she wears for Fearless is basically wearable sunshine. The original is Roberto Cavalli, but honestly? You can recreate this look way easier than you'd think.

I found an almost identical dress at Shein for under $30. Wild, right? The fringe moves exactly like Taylor's when you twirl. Which you will. Trust me.

Zara also does great fringe pieces during their party season collections. I've seen similar dresses there for around $80-90.

Pro tip: Layer it with cowboy boots. That's the whole Fearless aesthetic right there.

Red Era - The Shirt and Hat Combo

The "We Are Never Getting Back Together" outfit is so simple but so good.

White button-up shirt. Black shorts. Red lips. Done.

This is probably the easiest look to recreate, and honestly? It's become my go-to outfit formula. I wear this to brunch at least twice a month now.

The shirt can literally be from anywhere - I got mine from H&M for $20. The key is getting one that's slightly oversized so you can tuck it in the front.

For the hat, I went vintage shopping on Depop and found the perfect black fedora for $15. Way better than buying new.

Reputation - The Snake Bodysuit

Okay this one's tricky.

The original Roberto Cavalli snake bodysuit is... let's not even talk about the price. But the vibe? Totally achievable.

I found this black sequined bodysuit on Amazon that has a similar edgy feel. It was $45 and honestly looks amazing with leather pants or a black mini skirt.

The real secret is in the styling. Slick back your hair. Dark lipstick. Attitude for days. That's what makes the Reputation era outfit work.

Fishnet tights under shorts also give that same edgy energy if you're not into bodysuits.

1989 - The Two Piece Set

Those matching crop top and skirt sets? Chef's kiss.

The tour features tons of variations, but they all have that same playful, colorful 1989 energy. Think bold patterns, bright colors, and lots of sequins.

I've had amazing luck finding similar sets at Forever 21 and Zara. Usually between $40-60 for the whole outfit.

Target also does great matching sets during summer. I bought three last year and still wear them constantly. They're perfect for concerts, festivals, or honestly just feeling cute.

The key is finding pieces that feel fun and a little bit retro. Very 80s-inspired but modern.

Folklore/Evermore - The Flowy Dresses

This era is all about romantic, cottagecore vibes.

Those flowy, ethereal dresses Taylor wears are mostly Alberta Ferretti and Oscar de la Renta. Beautiful but not exactly budget-friendly.

But here's where thrifting online becomes your best friend. Poshmark and ThredUp have tons of similar flowy maxi dresses for under $50.

I found this cream-colored dress with embroidered flowers on Poshmark for $35. It's literally perfect for the folklore aesthetic.

Free People also does amazing cottagecore pieces. They're pricier (usually $100-150) but the quality is incredible and they last forever.

Midnights - The Bejeweled Bodysuit

The midnight blue bodysuit covered in crystals is absolutely stunning.

Recreating this exact look is tough because of all the embellishments. But you can definitely capture the essence.

I bought a navy blue bodysuit from ASOS and added my own rhinestones. Took me like three hours while watching Netflix, but it turned out amazing. Total cost? Maybe $40.

You can also find pre-bedazzled bodysuits on Etsy. They're usually around $60-80 and honestly look professional.

Pair it with high-waisted pants or a sparkly skirt and you've got the Midnights vibe.

The Surprise Songs Outfits

Taylor changes these up every show, which is both amazing and slightly frustrating if you're trying to recreate looks.

But I've noticed patterns. Lots of flowing gowns, sparkly dresses, and romantic silhouettes.

For this vibe, check out designer dupe sites and formal wear sections at department stores. You can find gorgeous gowns for under $100.

Lulus is my go-to for affordable formal dresses. They have tons of options that give major Taylor surprise songs energy.

Where I Actually Shop for Tour-Inspired Pieces

Real talk - here are my favorite places:

For bodysuits and basics: ASOS, Amazon, Forever 21

For sparkly pieces: Zara, H&M during party season, Shein

For dresses: Lulus, Free People (on sale), Poshmark

For accessories: Etsy, Depop, vintage shops

For shoes: DSW, Target, Steve Madden

I've also had surprising luck at Amazon for fashion pieces. Their "Amazon Essentials" line has great basics, and you can find tons of sparkly stuff if you search specifically.

The Real Secret

Here's what I've learned after recreating like 10 different tour outfits:

It's not about finding exact replicas. It's about capturing the energy of each era.

Lover is romantic and playful. Reputation is edgy and confident. Folklore is soft and dreamy. Once you understand the vibe, you can put together outfits from literally anywhere.

I've created amazing Eras-inspired looks mixing Target basics with thrifted finds and a few statement pieces from Zara. Nobody knows the difference.

Also? Don't stress about perfection. Half the fun is putting your own spin on these looks.

My Favorite Budget Recreations

I've recreated probably 15 different tour looks at this point. Here are my top three budget wins:

1. The Lover bodysuit dupe from ASOS ($65) - Literally looks almost identical in photos. I wore it to the actual concert and got so many compliments.

2. A thrifted folklore dress from Poshmark ($35) - Better quality than anything I could've bought new for that price.

3. DIY bedazzled Midnights bodysuit ($40 total) - This one took effort but I'm genuinely proud of how it turned out.

The trick is mixing high and low. Splurge on one statement piece per era, then fill in with budget finds.

What About the Actual Concert Outfit?

Okay slightly different topic but related.

If you're going to the Eras Tour and want to dress up (which, honestly, you should because it's so fun), here's my advice:

Pick ONE era and commit. Don't try to do all of them. It's too much.

Choose the era that speaks to you most. For me, it was Lover. So I went full pink and blue sparkles.

Comfort matters more than you think. You're standing and dancing for 3+ hours. Cute shoes that hurt aren't worth it.

I wore platform sneakers with my Lover outfit and it was perfect. Still on theme but actually comfortable.

The TikTok Effect

Can we talk about how TikTok has made finding dupes so much easier?

There are entire accounts dedicated to finding affordable versions of Taylor's tour outfits. I've discovered so many good pieces through TikTok recommendations.

Search "Taylor Swift tour outfit dupe" and you'll find hundreds of videos. People are incredibly creative.

I found my favorite Reputation-era leather pants through a TikTok video. They were $30 from a brand I'd never heard of and they're actually great quality.

Honestly Though

The best part about recreating these looks isn't wearing them to the concert.

It's having these pieces in your wardrobe after. I wear my "tour outfits" all the time now. To parties, nights out, even just because I feel like it.

That Fearless fringe dress? Wore it to my friend's birthday dinner last week. The Lover bodysuit? Perfect for festivals.

These aren't just costume pieces. They're actually wearable, fun clothes that make you feel confident.

Which is kind of the whole point of Taylor's fashion, right? It's bold and sparkly and unapologetically feminine. And you don't need a designer budget to capture that energy.

So yeah. Go recreate some tour looks. Have fun with it. Mix high and low. Thrift when you can. DIY when you're feeling crafty.

And most importantly? Wear whatever makes you feel like the main character.

Because at the end of the day, that's what Taylor's whole tour wardrobe is about. Feeling confident, having fun, and not taking fashion too seriously.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go bedazzle another bodysuit. The Eras Tour might be over, but my recreation project definitely isn't.
