Working in fashion, it’s second nature for editors to find (and share) affordable alternatives to investment pieces whenever we come across them. Often, retailers including Banana Republic, COS, Gap, and J.Crew are editor favorites for these types of timeless items. For example, associate fashion editor Nikki Chwatt covered how a pair of $98 J.Crew pants closely resemble Leset’s Kyoto pants. She’s talked about how Nordstrom’s $50 kitten-heel sandals mimic Hailey Bieber’s Toteme ones as well.

I’ve also written about how Tony Bianco Gatsby loafers remind me of The Row’s Soft Loafers. There are also other widely loved options, such as Madewell Greta flat for The Row Ballet Flat, and Gap’s 100% Cotton Oversized Sweater as a budget-friendly option for the Ophelia Sweater.
