How To Style Your Vintage Concert Tees the Taylor Swift Way

She always nails it.

May 5, 2016

Since literally going platinum for [her Vogue cover] (http://www.teenvogue.com/story/taylor-swift-bleach-blonde-hair-coachella), Taylor Swift has taken on an edgier aesthetic. She was spotted recently in New York City wearing something a little darker than the skirts and crop tops we’re used to from the [pop star] (http://www.teenvogue.com/tag/taylor-swift).

She complemented her new icy hair color with black, ripped skinny jeans, white sneakers and an amazing vintage Billy Joel concert t-shirt.

Since tour merch is all the rage, it makes sense that vintage concert t-shirts are seeing a resurgence. Get in on the throwback trend with these awesome eBay finds!
