I Found Affordable Vintage Versions of This Season's Expensive It Items
For most of us, buying a pricey designer item each season isn't all that financially realistic. New handbag silhouettes, shoe shapes, clothing trends, and the like are simply too much to keep up with without blowing your budget. Thankfully, there are other options, and perhaps one of the best alternatives is vintage. Anyone who's been turned on to the world of vintage already knows that it's a treasure trove of, well, treasures. One-of-a-kind pieces from the past are not only the more affordable way to develop your personal style, but this is also an environmentally minded approach.
Keeping this in mind, I rounded up some of the season's more expensive It items and scoured Etsy to procure similar pieces. From prairie dresses to square-toe mules, the shopping list below should help reinvigorate your wardrobe for the months to come.
This year, Staud handbags (and shoes, for that matter) really began to pick up speed. The cult-favorite label churned out multiple styles and silhouettes that the fashion circuit embraced with open arms, including this mini bag dubbed Kenny.Chanel, land of beautiful boots, handbags, jewelry, clothing, and haute couture. It's unsurprising the legendary Parisian house's white go-go boots are an instant classic.Similar to Cecilie Bahnsen and Batsheva, Dôen has become the kind of brand that's instantly distinguishable. Thanks to its prairie-like designs and micro-floral patterns, wearing a Dôen dress is the easiest way to feel polished in a flash.Speaking of Cecilie Bahnsen, the label's ethereal puff-sleeve creations are the coolest way to embrace the modest dressing trend right now.It was a good year for Bottega Veneta. The brand's new creative director, Daniel Lee, breathed new life into the label's iconic woven motif, including these square-toe sandals that almost every fashion editor was spotted wearing during fashion week. Loewe made square sunglasses decidedly cool again, with playful colorways to choose from and an overall modern-meets-retro aesthetic.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
