If your group chats and social media feeds are anything like ours on the BRIDES team, news of musician Taylor Swift's engagement to longtime boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is everywhere. Documented in the couple's recent Instagram post, Swift's unique, vintage-inspired engagement ring, surrounded by several stunning floral arrangements, is, of course, the star of the show, though we can't help but admire her outfit just as much. Featuring vertical black stripes, a smocked peplum bodice, a self-tie halter neckline, and a midi-length hem, Swift's engagement dress appears to be this piece from Polo Ralph Lauren—a fitting choice for the singer's feminine, classic, Americana style.
Like other Swift fans and avid pop culture followers, we've already discovered that it's out of stock on all retailer sites, including Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and Revolve. However, our savvy shopping writer, Maddie Barber, has already scoured the Internet searching for styles that are equally as chic and Taylor-coded. Whether you're on the hunt for an addition to your bridal wardrobe, want to prep your dress collection for a potential proposal from your partner, or need vacation options for your honeymoon, discover our BRIDES-approved dresses similar to the singer's now-famous sundress.
Swift's actual engagement dress has already sold out on all retailer sites, although most offer the option to sign up for in-stock notifications if you're hoping to get the real thing.
While not black and white like Swift's original option, we're fans of the light blue colorway on this smocked Everlane midi for an end-of-summer engagement or wedding-related soiree. The thick straps are a comfortable bonus.
For another alternate colorway, this spaghetti-strap dress boasts a gorgeous baby pink and green design with varying stripe patterns. The minimal bodice smocking is a subtle nod to Swift's dress.
For a fancier option, consider this black and white striped maxi with an on-trend neck scarf to match. The understated skirt ruffles are perfect for the fashion-forward bride-to-be.
Simple, sweet, and classic, we love this striped, smocked ankle-length dress for a more casual affair or a bride-to-be with a laid-back personal style.
Prefer something mini-length? This ASOS option has all the best elements of Swift's dress (vertical stripes and smocking) but with a shorter hemline to keep you cool in these late summer temperatures.
Z Supply's Balos dress offers a more subtle take on Swift's vertical stripes, with a barely there blue and beige colorway.
Consider this strapless choice for an effortlessly chic end of summer engagement look. An ultra-cool back cutout and a pleated bust ensure your look stands out, even if it's on the casual side.
Preppy brides-to-be may prefer a shirtdress like this Gap option. Despite its sophisticated look, the cotton poplin fabric ensures it's comfortable enough to celebrate in.
We're in love with this dreamy, ultra-feminine Free People dress, which boasts the same smocked bodice as Swift's, just without the classic stripe pattern.
If your personal style is partial to blue and white stripes over black and white, this Joe's Jeans option may be more your vibe for an upcoming engagement or wedding-related event. Made with cotton and linen and featuring a strapless neckline, you'll love this for celebrating in warm weather.
A bolder take on the singer's Polo Ralph Lauren stripes, this Moon River dress is still just as chic and event-appropriate—pair with some white kitten heels and statement jewelry for a completed look.
Comfortable and casual enough for any bride with a laid-back style, this midi-length shirtdress is even versatile enough to incorporate into your everyday wardrobe.
At just under $60, we love this Lulus option for budget-friendly brides-to-be. The fun shade of green and tasteful back cutout are the perfect fashion-forward touches.
