“She admitted that she couldn’t afford the styling.”
Shania Twain has always taken an active role in shaping her image and stage presence. In the early days of her career, limited funds pushed her to get resourceful with her wardrobe choices. At the time, she didn’t view her simple outfits as anything remarkable, but looking back, she realizes those decisions were laying the foundation for the signature style that still resonates with country fans today. And she achieved it all without extravagant budgets or high-end designers.
“I couldn’t afford professional styling, so I just handled it myself,” she once told CBS News.
Twain went on to share that she dressed herself for the music videos of two of her most recognizable hits, using everyday pieces from her own closet or from affordable stores like Target. “For Any Man of Mine and Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under, I literally just picked up clothes at Target. And the now-famous denim-on-denim look? That came straight out of my own closet,” she explained.
Recreate Shania Twain’s Timeless Outfits
Although these music videos first hit screens in the mid-90s, Shania Twain’s iconic looks remain just as stylish today. The best part? Fans can still achieve similar outfits with ease, thanks to Target’s current fashion lineup.
To capture the essence of Twain’s memorable style, we’ve rounded up a few modern pieces that echo her wardrobe from those videos.
For “Any Man of Mine,” the Canadian superstar is seen singing and dancing around a farm, dressed in a laid-back denim-on-denim ensemble. Her outfit featured a pair of blue jeans, a cropped denim vest layered over a white tank top, and a simple brown belt to tie it all together.
Target’s women’s section offers great alternatives to recreate this classic moment. Try the Wild Fable Sleeveless Cropped Denim Trucker Vest paired with the Wild Fable Slim Fit Scoopneck Tank Top. For jeans, the Levi’s® Women’s Wedgie Fit makes a perfect match, and you can finish the look with the A New Day Laser Cut Brown Belt.
Both “Any Man of Mine” and “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under” are featured on Shania Twain’s second studio album, The Woman in Me. Even after more than twenty years, her talent for transforming everyday, affordable clothing into iconic looks shows that true style doesn’t require a lavish budget. Without a doubt, Twain’s influence will continue to inspire generations of fans and fellow artists well into the future.
