Skipping the latest trends in favor of her personal tastes has made the singer stand out on the street, the stage and the red carpet alike. Beyond the red lips, cateyes and glittery gowns, here are five pieces that give Taylor her sweet retro-inspired vibe.

Not one to take her personal style too seriously, Taylor adds a sense of fun to her look with a whimsical top. She often pairs her playful picks with something feminine like a pleated skirt, or a side braid, or (if she's feeling frisky) perhaps even both.

3. Pleated Skirts

4. Cozy Beanies

Never one to follow the latest fad, Taylor leaves the pastel boots to Nicki Minaj and sticks to what she knows best, vintage femininity. She matches the retro vibe of her wardrobe with leather oxfords and classic Mary Jane pumps.
