Taylor Swift Just Wore the Skirt-and-Boots Combo That Screams '90s Jennifer Aniston

If there's one outfit formula I rely on year after year once the leaves start to turn, it's the tried-and-true skirt-and-boots combo. It's an easy equation that feels put-together without veering into try-hard territory. And in a recent dinner outing in New York City, Taylor Swift proved that the most foolproof iteration of this look—a miniskirt and knee-high boots—is firmly back on the style map. This isn't just a fleeting trend moment; it's a nod to the enduring, effortless chic of Jennifer Aniston's '90s style.
Swift, stepping out in a pleated Miu Miu miniskirt and rich tan leather knee-high Jennifer Chamandi boots, channeled a vibe that feels simultaneously nostalgic and perfectly on time for fall 2025. It's the sartorial equivalent of a perfect autumn day—crisp, classic, and completely effortless. The beauty of this specific pairing lies in its proportions: The short hemline of the skirt is instantly grounded and made weather-appropriate by the height of the boots. It gives you the leg-elongating power of a heel without sacrificing the cool-girl edge that great boots provide. Oh, and her Cartier jewelry certainly didn't hurt either.
Whether you opt for a sleek mini like Swift’s or lean into the '90s schoolgirl aesthetic with a plaid tartan, all you need to complete the look is a cozy, tucked-in sweater and maybe a subtle swipe of red lipstick. This combo is timeless for a reason—it’s polished, versatile, and requires zero complicated styling. Keep scrolling to shop pieces to re-create Swift's easy fall outfit for yourself.
