The $40 Halara pleated mini skirt that Taylor Swift wore to Coachella a few years ago has returned, this time in a new lilac color perfect for spring. The skirt features a similar pleated design with built-in shorts, but the lilac version has criss-cross straps and a subtle smiley face print on the inner lining, a collaboration with the Smiley brand.

Why it matters

The original black version of this skirt became an instant hit in the athleisure world, selling out quickly after Swift wore it to the popular music festival. The return of the skirt, now in a fresh spring color, is likely to generate similar excitement and demand from fans looking to emulate Swift's trendsetting festival style.

The details

The new lilac Halara x Smiley Breezeful skirt features the same mini length, pleated design, inner pockets, and four-way stretch as the original black version. However, instead of a left-thigh buckle, the lilac skirt has criss-cross straps and a subtle smiley face print on the inner lining, a result of the brand's collaboration with the Smiley company. Like the original, the skirt also has built-in shorts underneath for comfort and support.

  • The original black Halara skirt that Taylor Swift wore to Coachella went viral a few years ago.
  • The new lilac version of the skirt is now available, just in time for spring and festival season.
