Taylor Swift continues to be a fashion icon, maintaining her status as the number one artist of the century, and her relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce seems to be influencing his style as well. During a date night in New York City in late December, both their body language and fashion choices were on full display. Swift even skipped Kelce’s game following her after-party.
Swift wore a stunning black coat covered in crystals, paired with a black skirt, Louboutin heels, and a $2,500 tote bag—an outfit fitting for a billionaire. On the other hand, Kelce’s fashion choice stood out, particularly his $225 trucker hat from Nahmias. While the trucker hat might seem casual for a fancy night out, its price tag says otherwise. He paired the hat with a monochrome red denim jacket and jeans, finishing the look with Louis Vuitton boots.
Fashion editor Abby Hepworth explains that Kelce has started taking a greater interest in his fashion since dating Swift, especially now that their relationship is entering a more serious phase. He’s investing in elevated accessories and brands that still reflect his personal style, showing that he’s meeting Swift where she’s at in terms of fashion while still adding his own twist.
Hepworth also suggests that by improving his appearance and paying attention to what Swift cares about, Kelce is helping them both look and feel more united. He’s showing that he cares about her interests and wants to look good for her. Ultimately, this fashion evolution highlights that Taylor’s influence brings out the best in Travis, both in his style and as a person.
