Taylor Swift Just Wore Fashion's Favorite Simple Outfit Trend Like a Pro

Taylor Swift's polished style was on display this week when she stepped out for an event at the Tribeca Film Festival, and it happened to be a major outfit trend this season: loose trousers and a matching vest. Consider it the summer version of the suiting trend, and the fashion crowd has fully embraced it.
Wearing a vest as a top has become one of the biggest styling trends of 2022, and we hope it sticks because it's easy and incredibly chic. You can wear it with jeans or a miniskirt and it'll look great, but the most polished way to style it is with matching pants, as Swift did. (Specifically, she wore a pinstripe Max Mara set with Prada heels.)
The '90s-inspired outfit trend is being sold by all of your favorite brands—from Zara to Frankie Shop—so let's get to it (as in, shop them below).
