Fashion doesn’t always have to come with a hefty price tag. At COM, we believe there are definitely items worth splurging on and others where saving is the way to go. Let’s dive into three fabulous “look-for-less” finds that perfectly mimic their high-end counterparts.
1. Sweatpant Jeans (I’m just as shocked as you are - are jeggings back?!)
Splurge: The Rag & Bone Miramar Sofie Wide-Leg Ankle Pant in Meadow Blue is a dreamy addition to any wardrobe, offering a chic silhouette and luxurious fabric. Priced at $238, these pants are a splurge we've considered a time or two!
Save: Enter the Amazon! I kept an eye out for something a little less expensive & boy am I glad I did. I found this stunning alternative available for just $60. These pants check all the boxes from a similar wide-leg design to a flowy yet flattering fit. Available in 2 washes, they offer comfort and style without the splurge! While ship times weren't the quickest, they were so worth the wait.
2. Knee-High Riding Boots
Splurge: The Frye Campus 14L boots are a timeless investment at $498. Crafted from genuine leather, they offer both durability and style. These are the kind of boots that will be a part of your wardrobe for years to come—think of them as a classic piece your future daughter will thank you for when fashion trends inevitably circle back. As an item I've had in my wardrobe for a few months now, I personally think they are well worth the investment!
Save: For just $69, these Amazon Faux Leather Boots offer an affordable alternative that captures the same vibes of the Frye Campus Boot with a very similar silhouette. I ordered these (strictly for comparison purposes! 😉), and I have to say, I’m incredibly impressed. Like the sweatpant jeans, they took about three weeks to arrive, but overall, if you're looking for that Frye boot aesthetic without the price tag, I wholeheartedly recommend them.
3. Sleek Cabin Luggage
Splurge: The Rimowa Cabin S luggage in silver is the epitome of luxury travel gear, priced at around $1,375. It's not only lightweight & durable but it's incredibly chic!
Save: If you’re looking for a similar style, the Amazon Cabin Luggage for $89 is a fantastic alternative. This bag is just a sleek, has similar functional compartments and makes for the perfect bag for weekend getaways or business trips. You can travel in style without the luxury price tag!
Investing in fashion doesn’t mean you have to spend a fortune. We're firm believers you can achieve a stylish aesthetic that fits your budget, no matter what it may be. Embrace the idea that some things are worth splurging on, while others can be just as fabulous without the high price tag. Fashion is all about expressing yourself, so elevate your wardrobe without guilt. Happy shopping!
