folklore’s key aesthetic is “cottagecore grandma picnics in the woods” so think floral prairie dresses and cosy knitwear (referencing “cardigan”, of course). A plaid shirtdress is a great nod to the folklore: the long pond studio sessions. For the folklore segment of the Eras tour, Taylor turns it up a notch with a rotation of ethereal, floaty dresses that give Stevie Nicks and Florence & The Machine a run for their money and, as it turns out, were potential Easter eggs for the Stevie references and Florence collab on TTPD (honestly, this woman’s mind…). One of the easiest ways to capture some folklore energy is with a woodland-nymph look in a palette of whites, creams, greys and silver, and with light floral patterns. Think evermore vibes but for spring and summer. The way I imagine the folklore aesthetic is as if I’m wearing a cosy knit cardigan pulled over a faded floral dress with a glass of white wine, overlooking the sea at sunset in a rich-white-woman, Big Little Lies style. Whereas evermore is red wine on a gloomy, winter evening, huddled around a roaring fire, casting spells like a witch (you can tell me in the comments if this makes sense).
