Taylor Swift has been performing in bejeweled bodysuits and princess gowns over the past three months on her Eras Tour, but she just wore something much more subtle.

The "Anti-Hero" singer was spotted heading into a New York City recording studio last week in one of the simplest summer styles you can find: a black maxi dress. Swift accessorized her tank maxi dress with a black leather belt, $450 black sandals, an $895 brown crossbody bag, and black sunglasses.

It's widely known that a little black dress is a staple in every closet, but a long black dress is, too. Just ask Jennifer Lopez, who wore a black maxi dress in Paris last summer. It's unclear where Swift's dress is from, but we found nine similar sleeveless styles you can wear anywhere this season — and they’re all under $70.

Although white dresses are, understandably, all the rage during the summer, black dresses come with a slew of benefits: They’re not see-through, they’re universally flattering, and they’ll hide any spills or sweat. With a tank top and straight cut, this black maxi dress could pass for Swift's — and right now, it's on sale for just $24. More than 3,600 Amazon shoppers have given it a five-star rating, with one deeming it "perfect for travel and summer."

This black maxi dress looks similar to the previous pick, just with a cinched waist for an extra flattering fit. It boasts over 3,600 five-star ratings of its own, and customers call it "light and airy," "very flattering," and "great for a summer day" in reviews. They also love how you can "dress it up or down."
