6 It Items I'm Lusting After and the Affordable Versions I Might Buy Instead

Ready for your seasonal cheat sheet on the most popular designer buys of the moment? You've found yourself reading this story so I'm going to take that as a yes. Since spotting fashion's It items is one my favorite pastimes, I'm taking it upon myself to report all my recent findings and have gone so far as to source alternatives that are friendlier to my own shopping budget. Whether you're looking to make your next investment purchase or simply curious to see what's trending, I've got you covered. 

From Prada's logo-adorned loafers to Ganni's rubber-soled stompers, the following six items are quickly becoming key pieces in the fashion world—and we have the Instagram evidence to prove it. The good news is splurging on one of these designer items isn't the only way to participate in the trending silhouettes of the moment. With a little bit of shopping research and a keen eye for spotting expensive-looking details, I sourced a number of options that emulate these coveted styles but at a much more wallet-friendly price point. Look no further than these affordable buys to get a similar look for a fraction of the cost. 

I had to start this off by highlighting the bag that's on pretty much every fashion girl's wishlist at the moment. Prada came out with a re-release of its 2005-era shoulder bag but added a cool chain strap and detachable crossbody strap to give it even more utility. Take it from our senior fashion editor Lauren who's fully on board or peruse one of the chain strap baguette bags I'm also eyeing.
Meet fall's coolest boots (in my opinion, at least). Ganni's chunky knee-high boots are already making the rounds on Instagram and fall has barely just begun. The rubber-soled look is set to be a popular boot trend in general, which is why the below Hunter rain boots are also idling in my cart.
Have we convinced you on knit dresses yet? If not, let me highlight this beautiful ribbed knit number from Tôteme that's the ultimate goal along with a few more that emulate the same laid-back luxe vibe.
I'm not usually a flats person, but there's something undeniably cool about Prada's logo loafers. They're a classic shoe but with the subtle platform makes them feel so right for 2020. I'm planning to style them (or similar chunky loafers) with mini skirts and crew socks.
As the name suggests, the styling possibilities with this convertible sweater are virtually limitless. While, yes, it's an investment, the sheer number of ways to wear it bring the cost-per-wear down. To get the look of a sweater set, though, some of my favorite two-piece options are below.
Another day, another BY FAR It bag. The accessories brand just keeps on churning out hits and its latest creation is the Amber bag, a sculptural but practical shoulder bag that's already earned a slew of celeb fans including Bella Hadid.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

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...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

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...
