- Travis Kelce could be taking a cue from Taylor Swift's fashion playbook.
- Kelce and Swift made two surprise appearances in New York City this weekend.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have hard-launched their relationship and their coordinated fall style.
This weekend, Swift and Kelce both made surprise appearances on "Saturday Night Live" before leaving the show's New York City studio hand in hand. Then on Sunday, the Grammy-winning musician and NFL star were spotted leaving the Waverly Inn restaurant in New York City together.
On both occasions, the apparent couple showed how they're dressing for autumn this year.
During their first outing, Swift rocked an almost all-black outfit in the form of a Versace corset paired with high-waisted trousers and tall sandals. She also accessorized with a brown $825 houndstooth coat from Gant, a $340 Aupen bag, and a $70 gold necklace from Mazin Jewels.
Kelce, on the other hand, wore a bird-print jacket from Jil Sander over a white button-up shirt, rich brown pants, and white sneakers.
When they stepped out again on Sunday evening, Swift and Kelce swapped styles. The musician sported bold prints and various colors, while the athlete rocked a more neutral look.
Kelce's tan, button-up jacket perfectly matched his trousers, and both pieces were seemingly made from velvet. He wore them with white Nike sneakers and a black T-shirt.
Swift, on the other hand, wore a green, purple, and black mesh top from Jean Paul Gaultier — which retails for $463 — with a strapless piece underneath. She also wore a leather miniskirt and heeled leather boots from Louis Vuitton.
Rather than matching their outfits on either occasion, Swift and Kelce rocked their respective styles while coordinating just enough to be in sync. And rather than fully embracing the season's most popular fashion trends, the two had fun with some trendy styles while completely ditching others.
For example, they both wore the neutral monochrome look that Gen Z loves, but Swift ignored the long denim skirt trend in favor of a leather mini.
And rather than wearing one of the worn leather jackets that are everywhere right now, Kelce wore two softer coats back-to-back.
So far, it seems that Kelce could be taking a cue from Swift's playbook: embracing personal style over fashion fads.
"Taylor Swift's style reflects her personal fashion choices rather than ones that conform to industry trends," fashion psychologist Carolyn Mair recently told Insider. "This authentic approach has made her a style icon and very relatable figure for her fans, almost like the girl next door — but better."
