Taylor Swift is once again proving why a black midi dress belongs in every fall wardrobe. She wore a sleeveless Rails dress with a dramatic V-neck to dinner at 1587 Prime, the steakhouse owned by husband Travis Kelce, posing there with singer Talya Rae Groves, who regularly performs at the restaurant.

## A pattern of reaching for black

The date night look followed a striped Stella McCartney halter maxi dress Swift wore for another dinner with Kelce in New York earlier this month, but black remains her go to for cooler months overall. She celebrated her 34th birthday in a moon and star embellished little black dress by Clio Peppiatt, and weeks later stepped out in a more casual long sleeve black dress accented with a gold chain at the waist. Even her Songwriters Hall of Fame induction in June leaned floral rather than black, a rare break from the pattern for that particular milestone.

## What Kelce has said about her style

Kelce recently reflected on his wife's fashion sense in an interview with Vogue, saying he loves that she stays authentically herself in every look, whether the two are out with friends or on a quiet dinner date. He described her as effortless, elegant and unafraid of bold colors or unique patterns, calling her timeless and classy in everything she wears.
