Taylor Swift has officially shed her good girl image, and that also applies to her personal style. In the lead-up to her new album, Reputation, the singer scrubbed her social media clean and prepared for a rebrand that includes a more laid-back approach to attire. It’s out with the schoolgirl mini skirts and Nashville-worthy sequins and in with streetwise basics that pack equal parts form and function, like the ones she wore last night to her album release party in New York.

Swift threw an Unravel color-block puffer jacket over an Amiri leopard-print crewneck sweatshirt for a mash-up that read like a rebellious departure from tradition, if not an all-out rule break. Though she did match her coat to a pair of burgundy hiking boot–style shoes, her choice of footwear was several practical steps up from the stiletto pumps she favored in the past. Black skinny jeans tied in nicely with the rocker influence woven throughout, though she made the look her own thanks to a spangly statement ring in the shape of snake that could be seen coiled around her middle finger.
