You don’t have to spend a million bucks to look like a million bucks! Today, it’s easier than ever to get dupes of designer items at a fraction of the cost. Here are some of our favorite pieces – and their lesser-expensive counterparts.
Black Platform Slides
First up: classic black platform slides, which can add a trendy yet casual vibe to any outfit with zero effort. On the left is Gucci’s version with the notorious interlocking G’s; on the right is the dupe you can buy at Journeys for under $30. We love to see them paired with cropped pants, dresses, or skirts.
The Original: Gucci Slide With Interlocking G ($550, shop here)
The Look for Less: Madden Girl Bali Slide Sandal ($29.99, shop here)
Crisscross Denim Shorts
Crisscross shorts are the style of the summer, and we have a feeling we’ll be seeing a variation of them this fall. On the left is the original pair from AGOLDE. We love the look, but luckily, you can purchase a similar version from Altar’d State for a third of the price.
The Original: AGOLDE Crisscross Jean Shorts ($178, shop here)
The Look for Less: Altar’d State Carli Crossover Shorts ($59.95, shop here)
Printed Maxi Skirt
We consider midi and maxi skirts basics in our wardrobe, and thanks to this dupe from Amazon, we can get them in several colors and prints for just shy of $30 each.
The Original: Reformation Bea Skirt ($148, shop here)
The Look for Less: Milumia Dalmatian-Print Skirt ($25.99, shop here)
Beige Baguette Bag
We didn’t think we would live to see the return of the baguette bag, yet here we are! And while nobody does the textured baguette bag quite like Fendi, it comes with a hefty price tag! Thankfully, we found a lesser-expensive version at Mango.
The Original: Fendi Baguette Nappa Leather Bag ($3,290, shop here)
The Look for Less: Mango Textured Baguette Bag ($49.99, shop here)
