T. Swift Wears Coveted Yeezy Boost 350s

by Katharine McEntee

It wasn’t long ago that Taylor Swift was being photographed in sky-high heels and mini skirts while entering and exiting the gym in NYC. While those perfectly polished outfits are some of my favorite sources of style inspiration, Taylor Swift wore Yeezy Boost 350s on New Year’s Eve and didn’t disappoint, despite looking more relatable. When heading into a West Hollywood gym on Dec. 31, Swift took a departure from her usual preppy style and sported a pair of black and pink leggings, a slouchy beanie, and sneakers by none other than Yeezy (a further peace offering, perhaps?). Kanye would definitely approve of the athleisure look.

While I couldn’t get enough of Swift’s previous post-workout threads, I have to admit it is nice to see the 26-year-old hitting the gym looking like, well, a real person who actually perspires. In fact, her new workout wear has inspired me to amp up my gym attire and follow through with my New Year's resolution of going to the gym more. While I plan to update my workout clothes with a pair of pink and black leggings like Swift’s and an awesome backpack as well, I think I’ll leave her signature red lip for a night on the town rather than a day on the elliptical.

If you are looking to start the year off in chic athleisure that can be sported to the gym or to the mall, here's how you can recreate Taylor Swift’s look.

1. Beanie

Instead of doing your hair before the gym, just throw on a beanie like the singer and leave the styling for after your workout.

2. Thee-Quarter Sleeve Top

Throw a loose top on over your sports bra for entering and exiting the gym.

This loose fitting three-quarter sleeve top is a great everyday basic, and it just happens to look awesome with gym clothes as well.

3. Leggings

Adding a bit of pink to your workout wardrobe will make exercising that little bit more fun.

4. Backpack

This sophisticated black carry-all is perfect for heading to the gym or lugging your laptop around the city.

5. Sneakers

While these Nike's may not be Yeezy's, the fun gray pattern is as close as most of us are going to get to West's sold-out sneakers.

Nike Air Zoom Structure 19 Wide, $120, nike.com

Yep: Unfortunately, West's Yeezy trainers are sold out, but this fun black and gray pair by Nike will look just as stylish when you're hitting the gym.

What have we learned? T. Swift definitely always knows best.
