Snag these lookalikes before everyone else does.
Taylor Swift has always been my number one style inspiration; growing up, I’d wear sparkly Fearless-inspired dresses, purple clothing when Speak Now was released, and high-waisted shorts with striped tees in her Red era. You get the picture — if Taylor wore it, so would I. I eventually found my own sense of style, but I still draw from the singer’s wardrobe to determine upcoming trends — and she just gave us the green light to start shopping for spring shorts.
After her The Eras Tour performance in Singapore over the weekend, Swift posed with BLACKPINK’s Lisa wearing an Annie Bing oversized sweatshirt that read “New York.” She paired the crew-neck top with cut-off baggy shorts that featured a light-wash hue celebrity stylist, Caitlin Jaymes, calls “easy to dress up or down” for spring.

The fluctuating temperatures may have you wondering if it’s really time to start shopping for shorts, but I’m here to echo a resounding yes. Not only is the biggest pop star in the world already wearing them, but spring officially starts in a little over a week. If you shop for denim shorts now, you’ll A) get first dibs on the latest styles, B) ensure your size is still in stock, and C) avoid the chaos of shopping for one of the most practical spring pieces alongside everyone else.

Securing a pair of Swift-inspired shorts doesn’t mean you have to start wearing camis and tanks, though. Make your shorts spring-appropriate by opting for a crochet long-sleeve shirt, cozy tube socks, comfortable sneakers, and a jean jacket. If you’re traveling for spring break, cut-off shorts will also give you a headstart on outfit-planning. Denim shorts look good on everyone, so there’s no wrong way to wear them.

Levi’s Premium 501 Original Shorts are a great lookalike option — and they’re nearly 50 percent off. The light indigo color matches Swift’s bottoms, while the frayed hemline, high-rise waist, and button-fly make them Amazon’s number one best-selling pair. One shopper called them their “absolute favorite” shorts and continued to say that the quality and fit were “perfect” — they even ordered them in four washes.
