Taylor Swift Just Wore the Preppy Trend That Gigi Hadid and Dua Lipa Are Fans of, Too

If you haven’t already heard by now, Taylor Swift recently made her first appearance with rumored boyfriend Matty Healy in New York City. While many people are swooning over the potential romance budding between these two artists (don’t get me wrong, we are too), we’re equally as obsessed with Swift’s outfit. The singer wore a black skort, simple sneakers, a leather crossbody bag, and a New York University-branded, striped sweatshirt. Rugby shirts, like the one Swift was wearing, have become popular among our favorite celebs recently, and we found five lookalikes for less than $35 at Amazon. 

At the beginning of the month, Swift’s bestie Gigi Hadid was spotted on the streets of New York City wearing a collared, collegiate-style sweatshirt. And before that, Dua Lipa wore a striped, collared henley shirt, and Elsa Hosk sported an entire rugby-style outfit, including a striped shirt and a matching mini skirt. It’s safe to say the preppy trend is here to stay, and Amazon has plenty of rugby shirt options to help you achieve the look.

A simple way to try out the scholastic-inspired trend is with a striped T-shirt, like this Amazon Essentials puff-sleeve style. It’s made from a blend of cotton, modal, and elastane, and it comes in sizes XS through XXL. Given the shirt’s elevated shape, it would look great tucked into a pair of high-waisted trousers with a thin leather belt and loafers for a day in the office. You could also wear the tee casually with denim cut-offs and worn-in white sneakers.

The cotton shirt has oversized sleeves, an exposed seam down the center of the back, and a hemline that hits just below the natural waist on most people, making it ideal for styling with high-waisted pants and shorts.

To truly embody Taylor’s off-duty look, go for a striped crewneck, like this oversized pullover sweatshirt that comes in 45 color combinations. It’s “super lightweight,” according to a reviewer, making it perfect for the warmer months ahead. Throw on the sweatshirt with a pair of black shorts or an athletic skort, and finish off the look with solid-colored sneakers, à la Ms. Swift.
