She may be 23 now, but Taylor Swift‘s latest single (and video), “22“, shows us that we can live like we’re 22, even if it’s just for the night. From having breakfast at midnight to dressing up like hipsters, this super fun and totally catchy song has plenty of suggestions for ways to let loose. I’ve had it on repeat for about the past week and it is by far one of my favorites off of Red.

She recently just released a super fun video for the song, featuring a group of her friends “dancing like they’re 22” in different locations. If you haven’t seen it, catch it below!

While you may or may not be 22, you can steal Taylor’s hipster style from the video with a few key pieces. Below, I’ve created a series of outfits inspired by the video for “22.” Scroll down to see them all!

Fall in Love with Strangers

Taylor Swift 22 video fashion - outfit 1

Top, Shorts, Shoes, Hat, Sunglasses

If you’re in the mood to make fun of your exes like Ms. Swift, try wearing a graphic muscle tee with high-waisted shorts and combat boots. Wear flirty heart sunglasses for a girly twist, and finish the look off with a pair of edgy combat boots.

It’s Miserable and Magical

Top, Shorts, Shoes, Glasses, Headband

This vintage-inspired outfit will hit all the right notes for a night out with the girls! Wear a feminine floral blouse tucked into destroyed-look denim shorts for a well-balanced mix of edgy and girly. Try out a polka dot headband for a retro flair, and add bright red sneakers to pay tribute to Swift’s signature color. Classic  hipster glasses add the perfect finishing touch to this eclectic getup.

You Look Like Bad News

Top, Skirt, Shoes, Necklace, Headband

If it feels like one of those nights that you won’t be sleeping, you might as well go out in style! Steal Taylor’s fierce cat-inspired getup with a few key pieces. Start by layering a chiffon blouse over a black sequin skirt. Wear with platform sandals and long, layered necklaces, and finish with a pearl-accented cat ear headband, similar to the one Taylor wears in the video.

What do you think?

Are you a fan of Taylor’s new style? Are you inspired by music videos? Would you wear any of the outfits above? Which look is your favorite? Would you like to see more posts like these in the future? Let me know in a comment below!

    Glad you guys like the post!

    Jenny and Ashleigh Maynes – Noted! Have you guys checked out our music section? We do lots of posts about other artists, it’s not just T Swift all the time. However, funny enough, we got like 10 emails the day this video came out from readers asking for a post on it, so of course we wanted to do it. Taylor seems to be pretty popular with our readers, and college girls in general. Any other songs/artists you’d like to request? (“Not Taylor” isn’t exactly specific…) We write for you guys, so if you want us to cover something, please let us know!

    So my suggestions, maybe, are the Decemberists, the Cure, Coldplay, Mumford and Sons, Norah Jones, or Queen. I would say Lady Gaga but she’s probably been done already. there’s also a song called “mad world” that has been covered by several different artists and was featured in the movie Donnie Darko that is really awesome and sad.

    @Kelsey, I’m pretty sure (please correct me if I’m wrong!) that this particular column is about the fashion in the music videos. As someone who is definitely not a fan of Taylor Swift, I can see how it makes sense to feature her so much. Her videos (I would assume) generally involve many college-aged girls having a gazillion wardrobe changes. Am I wrong here?
    Most of the musicians I you mentioned (with a few possible exceptions) don’t feature this phenomenon in their music videos.

    That being said, what I (and possibly the people harping on TaySwift here) might find more interesting would be fashion inspired by the actual MUSIC. Like, listen to this song and become inspired to wear something by the beat/ lyrics/ feelings it beings up, rather than the people in the video. I always get dressed listing to music and it will often influence what I wear that day.

    Oh no don’t be!! Besides, I’m not even sure if I’m right! And there’s nothing wrong with your opinion šŸ™‚ And I for one would love to see a “mad world” inspired look.

    @ Zephyr, thank you for responding thats amazing that so many people wrote in at once for that video lol. I have been on the music posts and was so happy to see when you guys did one on led zepplin, Would really love to see a post based on something like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Maybe even the female trribute band The Iron Maidens since so could incorporate the feminine style.

    I agree that different music artists should be featured. This blog seems to cater to Taylor Swift and that gets kinda dull. Maybe you should feature Solange Knowles who style is impeccable or Grimes? Or maybe Black Keys, Toro Y Moi, Crystal Castles (Alice Glass) or Azealia Banks?

    Let’s get some variety please!

    I love this post. but I do have some other suggestions. I would love love love to see a post inspired by Jack White because he has a pretty unique style. The Black Keys, Tegan and Sara, and Passion Pit would all be pretty interesting just for a few suggestions.

    For future musical fashion inspiration, I would suggest Muse (the band). Matt Bellamy… serious stylish man!

    While the outfits are good, I’d love to see some inspiration from artists other than Taylor Swift. There has to be other forms of inspiration than solely her. An article on the atmosphere of music festivals or some of the artists headlining the big ones (Coachella, Bonnaroo, etc.) This year would be awesome! Us alternative girls would definitely appreciate it. šŸ™‚

    I second the Grimes suggestion. She’s a super-cool Canadian artist.

      She’s not Canadian. She’s American. She’s was born in Reading, Pennsylvania.

    I am not a fan of Swift at all, but i find these outfits cute, with some pieces.definitely worth taking away. Also, I finally got an explaination for that cat headband… it’s ridiculously popular on the streets of Tokyo this season, and I had no idea why. But I also think it’s super cute (:
