Taylor Swift’s Cherry-Red Cashmere Sweater Is $982, but I Found a $46 Version

I’m still not over Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce — especially after that celebratory kiss following the Kansas City Chiefs’ win on Sunday. I was so excited about the sweet moment, I sent screenshots to my boyfriend. Aside from the smooch, the star of the show was undoubtedly Swift’s fire-red sweater.   

The singer wore a $982 cashmere sweater from friend Gigi Hadid’s brand Guest in Residence, which Hadid proceeded to post to her Instagram story with the caption, "It's lookin like a lucky sweater!!" It sure is, being that it included a crew neckline, thick knitting, drop shoulders, side slits, and ribbed details. Swift often wears the bold color, since her boo’s team reps white, gold, and red. Not to mention, the artist has an album dedicated to the passionate hue (We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, anyone?).

Other celebrities like Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lawrence, and even Kate Middleton have recently donned the bright shade, while Florence Pugh, Selena Gomez, Heidi Klum and others made it the It color of the 2024 Golden Globes. This is all because of what the chili-red hue represents: power and intense feelings, which commands attention. Just think back to Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge!, Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, or Alicia Silverstone in Clueless. See what I mean? Still, the sexy color is simple to style, pairing seamlessly with blue jeans, black leather leggings, white maxi skirts, and beyond. 

Lillusory Crewneck Batwing Ribbed Sweater

Take this $44 Lillusory batwing find, which is almost an exact lookalike for Swift’s more expensive separate. Now 27 percent off, it features the same oversized silhouette, a ribbed crewneck, and minimal side slits. Wear it with skinny jeans to balance proportions and slip on heeled combat boots for edgy appeal. Swap the bottoms for a pink silk skirt and white booties instead to make for the perfect V-Day ‘fit.  

Spiritual Gangster Jolie Crewneck Sweater

The Spiritual Gangster Jolie crewneck sweater is a luxe alternative that’s still far cheaper than Swift’s original piece, which includes a knit material, dropped shoulders, cropped sleeves, and a tomato-red hue. For a casual approach, wear it with leggings and dad sneakers or dress it up with knee-high boots like Swift.  

There isn’t a wrong way to style your cherry-red sweater, and you’ll see just how easy it is to integrate into your wardrobe. But you have to secure your own version before doing so — check out more Swift-inspired picks, below.
