It’s often hard to navigate the latest fashion trends and be fiscally savvy, so we have done the hard work for you.
We offer up the fashion pieces you need now, with friendlier price tags than their designer counterparts. All hail high street fashion.
The Frayed ‘Mom’ Jean
Call it the Vetements-effect if you will, but these reworked, uneven-hemmed, ‘mom’ style jean have become the fashion piece of the season, with every fashionista donning them. Not willing to fork out $1,695 for denim (yes, you heard right)? Neither are we.

Victoriana
Everything old becomes new again, right? Victorian romanticism is back with period pieces. A slightly more tailored take rather than poetic prairie, it’s all about perfectly puffed-up shoulders, fanciful funnel necks and lacy delights.

The Slipper
Take your next steps in a slipper; the pitter patter of Gucci Princetown’s can still be heard everywhere. The sizeable price tag however may deter you, so opt for a high street, but still equally chic variation.

Khaki
Be if African safari or military coup; take inspo from the khaki-clad. By way of jackets, shirts, skirts and cropped pants, khaki is the shade of the season and will add street cred to any ol’ outfit.

The Ring Bag
Put a ring on it, your handbag that is. The fashion savvy set have being seeing circles ever since Chloe debuted their Faye bag (they’ve since added lovely ladies Jodie and Jane to their ring repertoire). To cart this lady around however you need some serious dough, luckily, there are thriftier, near identical alternatives.

A Bold Neck
Chin up in style. Up the anti on the choker trend and bare a bold neck; from adorned, scarfed, sequinned and laced, anything goes to ensure an artful neck.
Luxe: Saint Laurent Sequinned Bow Collar Less: Love Rocks Lace Choker
The Printed Shirt
More is more is more when it comes to the once humble shirt. Mary Katrantzou paves the way for print, but also bares a big price tag. Opt for a pinwheel of colour and juxtaposing prints for maximum effect, whilst the pyjama trend regains its sartorial standing.

Button Blazer
Nothing quite says luxe that a classic blazer emblazoned with bold buttons. Perhaps Olivier Rousteing’s Balmain breathed sartorial life back into the trend, down under however, it is Camilla and Marc who boasts the most wanted blazer.
Luxe: Camilla & Marc Moonshadow Blazer Less: C/meo Same Love Blazer
Modern Hoops
Forgo the JLO vibes, this is a refined take on the ghetto staple. Lobes should be laced with fine hoops in geometric shapes and beaten metals.
Luxe: Natasha Schweizer Double Hoops Less: Sportsgirl Geometric Hoops
The Fancy Mule
Put your fanciest food forward in a mule, which have been updated from the stale and serious to the fabulous and frivolous. N. 21’s knotted, bowed creations are the hot heel tip, but there are equally wondrous (and much cheaper) versions to dip your toes into.
