If You Care Deeply About Being Cute *And* Comfy At All Times, You'll Like These 27 Fashion Items
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Whether you're staying in or going out, you'll look *and* feel good in these buttery soft biker shorts. Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 1. A crewneck sweater that some reviewers say feels like a Barefoot Dreams blanket! I mean who wouldn't want a sweater that feels like they are being wrapped up in a warm fuzzy blanket all day long? Promising review: "I splurged on Ugg sweaters last year and loved their softness and quality, so I was eager to find something similar. This sweater is a great find! The small fits with a nice oversized look without being too large. The pink color is subtle and a nice pop of color for colder months. Will be buying in another color." — A sly Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 27 colors). 2. A scoop neck top, which might just fool some people into thinking you hopped on the Skims train... BUT you got this for less than half the price! Many reviewers love the double lining and how buttery soft it feels so much that they bought it in different colors! Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one, LOL, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and in 34 colors). 3. A longline sports bra that'll give you just the right amount of support for your killer workout class without being too compressive for when you need to get some errands done post-workout. Reviewers compare the quality to Lululemon and love how versatile it is for active and non-active outfits. Promising review:"LOVE. It is super comfortable to wear and is great for supporting my chest when I go on a run. Doesn't collect sweat. Very nice and cool material for hotter environments. I have it in so many colors because I love them so much. HIGHLY recommend!" — Cheyenne Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 4. A pair of bell-bottom jeans with a removable belt since you saw Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show and immediately thought... I NEED those jeans. This comfy pair will have you looking at other jean styles (like skinny and straight-leg) and thinking, "They not like us." Promising review: "I love them, they fit perfectly. They are truly high waisted, they hug all the right places and make the bum look like a snack!!! I have a hard time finding pants that are long enough, not with these pants I don't, I can roll the cuff if wearing flats or unrolled with heels. They are my New Favorite pants!!" — Alyssa Get them from Amazon for $28.70+ (available in sizes 2–18 and in 12 colors). 5. Quince's boatneck sweater — it's made from 100% Mongolian Grade A cashmere and it looks good dressed up or dressed down. This sweater is ridiculously soft, and the wider neck allows you to wear it off the shoulder if you're going for the ultimate relaxed look. Quince I have this, and I absolutely love it! It's so soft and probably my favorite sweater in my closet. It's lightweight but not see-through at all. Even after washing it, it feels so soft. It looks great tucked into a pair of jeans paired with a belt! Promising review: "I love everything about this sweater! The fit is great! It feels fitted enough to look stylish, yet loose enough to be comfortable and casual. I feel like I need more of these in other colors." — Harris Get it from Quince for $79.90 (available in sizes XS–XL, in two styles, and in 10 colors). 6. A delightfully soft, well-made cross-wrap long-sleeve top that will make you feel rich in style *and* rich in comfort. Plus, this cute lil' number looks way more expensive than it is. Promising review: "Versatile crop sweater that is perfect for winter to spring transition! Paired with my favorite cropped denim, but plan to also wear with high-waisted shorts this spring. I love that you can wear on or off the shoulder. One of my favorite affordable Amazon brands where you can count on great quality/on-trend product at a great price!" — denasdailydeals Get it from Amazon for $43.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 17 colors). 7. A pair of ~Dreamlux~ leggings quite similar to the Lululemon Aligns that are almost $100. Thankfully, these are a fraction of the price and still have that same buttery soft, squat-proof material. Amazon Promising review:"Super comfy. I usually don't write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for everyday and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" — Criselle Johnson Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 styles). 8. A pair of drawstring wide-leg linen blend pants that are a stylish alternative to jeans and let the legs breathe! We all wish that pajama pants could be worn 24/7, but these might just be the next best thing. Promising review:"I love these pants! I bought the color Ecru, and they are a perfect light khaki color. Not see-through. Soft. Hits right at the top of my sandals. I washed and dried them normally, and they didn't shrink. Will be ordering other colors." — Allen family Get it from Amazon for $24.90+ (available in sizes XS–6X and 11 styles). 9. A short-sleeve jumpsuit so you can look great *and* feel great no matter the occasion. Reviewers love this jumpsuit for traveling, and if there's anything people want during a long plane ride, it's a comfy outfit that'll still look cute! Promising review: 'Fits this short girl perfectly! I wasn't sure what to expect, being 5'1'. Most things are too long for me. This fit perfectly and is incredibly cute and comfortable. I just wanted something to lounge around the house in, but I think if I wore a cute sweater or jacket, I could wear this to work. I will probably buy another in a lighter color since my life includes a lot of dog hair.' — Stephanie Gottfried Get it from Amazon for $24.61+ (available in sizes S–3X and 32 colors). 10. A shirred going-out top perfect for when you want to go to dinner with your friends right after a long day of work. The boatneck neckline is so in right now, and the sheer fabric at the top adds a touch of detail that you wouldn't get with just a regular black shirt. Plus, it's nice and stretchy! Eloquii Get it from Eloquii for $24.97 (originally $49.95; available in sizes 14–28) — use promo code EQCYBER for this price. 11. A pair of upscale-looking palazzo pants if you love the flowy feel of your wide-leg pajama pants and sweats but need a more polished look for your in-office work days. They're also a great alternative to jeans if the dress code is more "smart casual" than just casual. Promising review:"These are my favorite pants! They are comfy, cute, professional, fun, and they pair well with SO many things! I can basically wear them for any occasion! I've bought them in three colors, and I easily wear them all once (if not twice) a week!" — Liz Get them from Amazon for $23.77+ (available in sizes XS–2X, long and short sizes, and 27 colors and patterns). 12. A pair of tailored shorts since your cute corporate style can sometimes bleed into your weekend style, and honestly, you're not mad about it because these are so cute and comfy. They'll look great with a casual plain tee or a patterned bodysuit; up to you! Target Promising review: "I tried these on a whim, and they're a perfect fit. The seams and the pleats lay well and don't stick out or pucker. The inseam length is spot on, not too long or too short. I'm very happy with these for the price. I got navy blue and would love a dark gray pair!" — confused shopper Get them from Target for $20 (originally $25, available in sizes 0–26 and in six colors). 13. An oh-so-soft fleece loungewear set that reviewers say feels just like Skims but for wayyyy less. Even though you might not *plan* to take a nap in the middle of the day, it might just happen because this is so cozy! This set comes with a top, pants, and a long cardigan! Promising review:"No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they're plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, I'm back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!" — Jenna Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $54.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 23 colors). 14. A bodycon jumpsuit if you love keeping up with the trends, but your wallet... not so much. This looks *and* feels just like the Aritzia Butter jumpsuit but for a fraction of the price! Promising review: "I never leave reviews but this jumpsuit deserves one!! It is an exact alternative for the Aritzia flared jumpsuit. I actually even like this one more than my one from Aritzia!! The length on this is SO much better. I am 5'7 and the Aritzia one just barely goes past my ankles… I am wearing platform sandals with this one and there's still extra length! Also I am 28 weeks pregnant and a small fits my bump, SO stretchy!! Definitely ordering more colors." — Stuart W. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and nine colors). 15. A one-shoulder midi dress made from a super stretchy jersey material that you'll be so thankful for after a long day. It's got an asymmetrical neckline and the twisted sleeve makes a simple dress look a little more elevated for a fancy occasion. H&M Get it from H&M for $24.99 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in five colors). 16. Sam Edelman white ankle boots if you're looking for a boot with a little extra something something. And by that, I mean an extra 2.25 inches and a padded insole for an extremely comfortable shoe you can walk miles in! Amazon Promising review:"I took these boots on a trip to NYC. I walked all day and they did not cause any blisters or extra tiredness. They are comfortable, easy to put on, especially in airport security. They are so trendy and the platform is not tiring at all. They don't claim to be waterproof but it rained a lot and my feet never got wet. I would definitely recommend these. ❤️" — Sandra Get them from Amazon for $9.59+ (available in sizes 5.5–13; also available 10 other colors with limited size options). 17. A ribbed square-neck, long-sleeve maxi dress that might just stop Kim K. in her tracks because it looks strikingly similar to the one on the Skims website. This is also super soft and stretchy, so no matter the activity, you'll definitely look cute *and* feel comfy. Promising review: "I'd been looking for a Skims alternative — I have the Skims dress, love it, and wanted it another color. Ordered a size large which is my normal size and it fit perfectly! I'm so very happy with my purchase! Literally half the price of Skims and it's identical! If you've tried the Skims dress, go ahead and order, you won't be disappointed!" — Savvychique Get it from Amazon for $31.44 (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors). 18. A pair of cross-waisted bike shorts so you can look your best *and* feel your best knowing that you're gonna walk into the gym with these adorable shorts. They're incredibly soft and made of a super breathable fabric. Aerie Promising review: "I ordered the Real Me tank top to match and it is adorable! Not see through and very stretchy and breathable materials." — taylor Get it from Aerie for $31.96 (originally $39.95, available in sizes XXS–XXL, and in seven colors). 19. Sorel strappy sandals sure to add some fun to your outfit because of the unique scalloped platform soles. You'll be walking for miles, getting compliments left and right, all while enjoying the sweet, sweet comfort of these cool kicks with an EVA footbed. Promising review:"Bought these for my trip to Portugal, for those who have traveled there know what kind of terrain I'm referring to (cobblestones and steep hills)! These sandals did not disappoint and I received compliments from all the ladies who passed me by!" — Jorgina Get them from Amazon for $87.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 11 colors). 20. A spaghetti strap romper that's so easy to slip on, you'll question why you even bother with outfits that require a top, a bottom, accessories, and other components that just complicate getting ready in the morning. Plus, reviewers love the extra-roomy pockets. Amazon Promising review:"I absolutely love this! It is adorable and comfortable. Easy to get into and out of and can be accessorized in many ways. I get many compliments on this and have it in two colors!" — Jason D. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 30 colors). 21. A floral wrap dress perfect for when you go out to brunch with your besties or when you just want to lounge around the house. And the best part? It's got POCKETS!! Promising review: "This dress fits me amazingly; it's adorable, and I will be wearing it to an upcoming wedding. Seriously so comfy as well, the material, the pockets, it's breathable. Just love everything about this dress." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $31.01+ (available in sizes 14–26 and in 14 colors). 22. An oversized cable knit sweater because nothing screams cozy and cute like a cable knit, am I right? Reviewers love this so much that they grabbed several colors in it (and you should, too 😉). Promising review: "I LOVE this sweater. It fits just big enough to be comfortable. It's thick but I don't get hot. It's been put in the dryer more than once and it hasn't shrunk but in fact, it kept its shape and it fits even better. I'm definitely going to buy another one!" — Kym Groceman Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 12 colors). 23. A floral romper dress to really make people jealous since your vacay looks will be servingggg. When you post your OOTDs from your trip, you'll be sure to have people asking you where you got this! Promising review: "Princess level. Gorgeous! Fits perfectly. Dressy, yet comfy. I can see myself wearing it for date night." — S.A.B Get it from Amazon for $36.98+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 10 colors). 24. A colorblock knit top that adds a fun pop of color to your wardrobe without being too over the top for those with a more minimal style. Reviewers love the cap sleeve detail and say it's slightly thick but still super soft. Promising review: "I originally purchased this top as a fun teacher shirt, and I love it! The knit material is not too thick and wearable during the warmer months but keeps me warm inside the cool classroom. The quality feels higher end, but the price is affordable. I recommend this top to anyone looking to add more color to their wardrobe!" — Jordan Wilhelm Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 19 colors). 25. A silky satin midi skirt because every now and then you've got a somewhat fancy dinner to go to, and your tried and true blue jeans aren't gonna cut it. Now this can be your tried and true for both fancy events AND casual outings. Amazon, Promising review:"Wow, I honestly had low expectations, but I love this skirt! It became a staple in my closet, and I'm not one to wear colors or many prints. So silky and smooth, so comfy. Got so many compliments. The band doesn't dig in and doesn't look awkward. I can't wait to get it in different colors." — Daria Z. Get it from Amazon for $24.89+ (available in sizes XXS—5X and in 19 colors/patterns). 26. A tie-front bow cardigan that will make your coquette heart grow three times its size because of how adorable it will look on and off the hanger. Amazon Promising review: "I'm in love with this sweater! It fits a little oversized which I love. I wore it with a short light blue mini and leggings. I felt so pretty in it and got so many compliments. It's not too heavy. It looks really cute on. It's soft and well made. I bought the pink, navy, black as well. I plan on buying the yellow as well. It's that good!!!" — Flying Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 18 colors). 27. Some braided heel sandals, which are actually comfortable so you can strut your stuff all without saying "ouch" every step you take. The 2-inch heel is great for anyone who wants just a little height minus the foot pain!

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · Your friends will catch you sporting Cartier, Gucci, and Chanel... or at least that's what they'll *think*. 😉 Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 1. A bodycon jumpsuit oh-so-freakin' similar to the Aritzia Butter jumpsuit that has dominated your Insta page lately, but for like a fraction of the price. It's the perf 'fit for a low-impact workout, a casual outing, or simply modeling for your Insta story. No one has to know that you got it from Amazon. Promising review: "I never leave reviews but this jumpsuit deserves one!! It is an exact alternative for the Aritzia flared jumpsuit. I actually even like this one more than my one from Aritzia!! The length on this is SO much better. I am 5'7, and the Aritzia one just barely goes past my ankles…I am wearing platform sandals with this one and there's still extra length! Also, I am 28 weeks pregnant, and a small fits my bump — SO stretchy!! Definitely ordering more colors." — Stuart W. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in 10 colors and sizes S–XL). 2. A scoop-neck top with a buttery feel that reviewers swearrrr is pretty much exactly like the popular Skims top — except this one comes in tons of different colors so you can choose the best one (or five) for your outfit. Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one lol, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 33 colors and sizes XXS–3XL). 3. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings so much cheaper than the (very) expensive Bottega Veneta ones that look exactly like it. These gold-plated earrings may look heavy, but reviewers swear they're lightweight and perfect for those with sensitive ears. Promising review:"These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and an extra-large size). 4. A midi corset dress to make you feel like you're a modern day princess just taking a walk through the woods. It has a back cinch and a front tie, basically all the same features as the TikTok-famous House of CB Carmen dress (but you know, not $225) — your little heart will be aflutter at the sight of this cutesy dress. Check it out on TikTok. Promising reviews: "Bought this dress because I always wanted to get the House of CB dress but didn't want to pay over $250 for it. It's honestly so good! I got the size large in this since they didn't have my normal sizes, which are small to medium (I have a bigger chest, so I tend to size up). But since this has a corset back, I was able to cinch it up really tight and it fit perfectly!" — Chris Herfurth Kennedy "Beautiful, stunning perfection. This may be the best thing I've ever bought on Amazon. The corset in the back makes it fit like it was made for me. It's double-lined and not see-through at all, even though it's white. The straps are adjustable, the slit is a good height, and the fabric is slightly stretchy. I cannot say enough good things about it. It did come slightly wrinkly in the skirt, but nothing that a good steam won't fix." — Shoshanna Get it from Amazon for $53.99+ (available in 16 colors/styles and sizes 0–14). 5. A pair of comfortable clogs so you can look like you're sporting the all-too-popular Birkenstock Boston clogs just without that hefty price tag or the logo — but let's be honest, who's actually examining your shoes to check for that? Plus, reviewers actually think that these are comfier than Birks, and seriously how cool is that?! Promising review:"They look just like my real Birkenstock clogs!! The shape, the buckle, the fit: They all make the clog feel legit. They are also super comfy! There is cushioning in the heel that makes them very comfortable to wear. If you are hesitant, just buy them. This is SUCH a bargain considering how expensive real Birks are LOL." — Quinlan Hanrahan Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in sizes 5–12, wide sizes, and in 14 colors). 6. Or a pair of Cushionaire cork-bottom sandals if you want that Mayari Birks feel but without that higher ticket price. They're incredibly flexible, so they're comfortable to wear for long walks across the beach or through the outlet mall. They have over 75,000 ratings on Amazon, and reviewers basically swear by them! Promising review: "I bought these sandals before a three-week trip in Europe; I didn't want to pay for Birks but did want something in similar style with good arch support. I was a little skeptical about the low price but gave them a they were the MOST comfortable sandals I've ever owned. I walked over 120 miles in them in three weeks on our trip and never once had foot pain. They broke in so quickly and were very supportive from the get-go — and still are! Highly recommend." — Han Lin Get them from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and 19 styles). 7. Slingback heels so similar to Chanel you'll find yourself triple checking the price just in case! You can pair 'em with slacks or a cutesy lil' dress — you'll basically be radiating luxury. Promising review:"This Chanel [alternative] is very in style right now. I wear them to work a lot with dark denim and a blazer. Or white jeans and a blazer. The heel is not too high, so it gives my 5'4' frame a little lift but not too much to get achy feet. I like the sling back because it stays on without blistering or moving around, and adds extra interest other than my solid black or nude pumps I wear to the office every day. I'm a size 6 with a narrow foot and these were true to size. I'm sure I'll get many years out of these shoes. They are a staple for the wardrobe without the hefty Chanel price tag. Love them!" — ND Get it from Amazon for $42.49 (available in sizes 5–11). 8. And a pair of slip-on loafer mules with the iconic gold clasp that'll have your friends swearingggg they're Gucci. Sophistication, meet an affordable price tag. Yeah, you def need these ASAP. Promising reviews:"Such cute shoes that are maybe even better than the designer inspiration! I ordered a 37 and usually am a 6.5. They fit perfectly. The footbed is more padded than the designer version. Leather is soft and comfortable on the foot. Sole is not slippery." — Emily Wilson "The shoes come very nicely packaged! These are my favorite shoes, once you break them in they are like BUTTER. I have bought two pairs myself, I own them in black and in white. My mom has them in black and wears them to work every day; she wanted to have a backup pair bc she loves them SO much. My brother wants to get a pair, too. LOL. I could not recommend these shoes more; I get so many compliments…people even think they are Gucci!" — Caroline King Get it from Amazon for $49.89+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors). 9. A belt bag to keep your most valuable items strapped close to your chest — it's necessary while you weave through a busy mall or an over-populated airport terminal. And it's striking just how closely it resembles the $$$ Lululemon belt bag. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly loves hers as well:"I wear a size L/XL in clothing and sometimes waist bags just don't work out so well for me. With this one, I can confirm that it fit around my waist comfortably without outerwear, across my chest without outerwear, *and* over a thick coat and several layers. The pockets inside are so handy and I even had room to spare throughout my Iceland trip. Just make sure that you zip the zipper ALL the way because the zipper goes down pretty far on the sides for easier access to contents." Promising review: "I'm SOO impressed with the quality of this bag! I've worn the Lululemon belt bag and I gotta say, this is pretty similar. Almost identical, except the Lululemon is a tiny bit smaller size. The Lululemon one also has a plastic zipper but this Amazon one is metal. I prefer the plastic but this one is OK. It might be better than Lululemon JUST for the fact that they have so many color options!" — Em Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in 45 colors). 10. A faux pearl choker so dainty and elegant, Vivienne Westwood herself will be impressed by how ridiculously similar it looks to the real one. Snag one of these to add a bit of "ooh la la 🥂" to any 'fit you throw together. Promising review: "Run, Forrest, run!! Don't walk!! This is a perfect Vivienne Westwood [alternative]. I bought this when I didn't have enough money for the real one, but unless you do a microscopic closeup of the two, this necklace is the literal perfect [copy] of the original. It feels pretty weighty and doesn't tarnish easily. The size is also perfect and the color matches the real one better than the other ones in the market. The packaging was also super cute and protective." — Ziaaaa Get a two-pack (gold and silver) from Amazon for $15.99 (available in two other styles). 11. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers can't help but compare to Lululemon's Align joggers. They're legit perfect for running errands, lounging around, or even hitting that cardio goal at the gym — because yeah, they're just that comfy. Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 23 colors). 12. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress sure to be your go-to piece any time of year. It's a gorgeous and simple dress that you'll find yourself slipping on every time you have an event where you wanna feel ✨fancy. ✨ Plus, it's so incredibly similar to the popular Skims one — but affordable enough that you can actually buy one in every color. Reviewers agree that if you want it fitted, size down. Promising reviews: "I saw this girl wearing this exact style of dress with a Skims tag on the back, and honestly, it made me so grateful that I purchased this dress instead. It looks exactly like the Skims version, and I could be biased, but the material of this dress looked better than the Skims one. If you want it to be a little snug, I would definitely recommend sizing down one size from your normal size. So freaking comfortable and made out of thick material." — Kaitlyn "I have the Skims dress in black and wanted to look for a cheaper version, but read reviews and some said that it is a bit looser than expected. I would agree that the small is a bit loose. If you want a snatched look, definitely get a size smaller, as it is very stretchy. I'm 5' tall so this is a bit long on me, even when I wear heels. In comparison to the Skims, the material is smoother while Skims has a ribbed texture. You honestly can't tell the difference. Good bang for your buck, if you ask me!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes XXS–XL and 10 colors). 13. Or a ribbed square-neck, long-sleeve maxi dress incredibly similar to the popular Skims one for a fraction of the price. It's soft, it's stretchy, and it's uber comfy so you'll find yourself reaching for this piece almost every single day. Promising review: "I'd been looking for a Skims alternative — I have the Skims dress, love it, and wanted it in another color. Ordered a size large, which is my normal size, and it fit perfectly! I'm so very happy with my purchase! Literally half the price of Skims and it's identical! If you've tried the Skims dress, go ahead and order, you won't be disappointed!" — Savvychique Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors). 14. A cubic zirconia cuff that'll have strangers actually thinking you spent (wait, checks notes) $17,000 😱 on the Cartier Love Bracelet. Not only is it less than $12, but you don't need to screw it on — unlike the way too ridiculously expensive version. Promising review: "This is a product where you can't say 'you get what you paid for' because it really looks sophisticated. It doesn't look cheap. I bought this because the Cartier love bracelets are very expensive and I don't like doing the screw because I don't plan to always wear them since I have a little kid and sometimes it's uncomfortable. If you want a Cartier love bracelet [alternative], this is it! Easy to open and close. Very flawless. Why did I just think about this!? Lol." — Shiexil Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three finishes, nine other styles, and five sizes). 15. And on that note, a cubic zirconia ring because you've always wanted the Cartier Love Ring to match, but not the price attached to it. It's simple, it's elegant, and it's pretty much guaranteed to never go out of style. Time to get one in every metal. Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find, honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring, though; the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three finishes, two styles, and sizes 5–12). 16. A sleeveless halter bodysuit so you don't have to overpay for a closet staple ever again. Its buttery soft feel reminds reviewers of the famous Skims one, with some even claiming that they prefer it to the name brand! Some reviewers said that they were able to skip wearing a bra with it! Promising reviews: "Okay this is so good. I had the Zara bodysuit identical to this, but it quickly got stretched out, so I tried this one out. It is 10 times better than that one. The fit is perfect, it hugs you just right, and is supportive enough that I won't wear a bra. Also, not see-through at all! Amazing. Need in all the colors." — Dawn E. "Saw these in a TikTok, and I took a chance. The sherbet orange one looks just like the picture, and it's double-layered material, so it's not see-through. It's smooth material and lays flat. Will def buy more." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 28 colors). 17. A tote bag people will ~swear~ is the Longchamp Le Pliage bag at first (and second, and third) glance — after all, it even folds up into a lil' compact rectangle just like it. It's the perfect bag to take along to the office thanks to how sleek and professional it looks — plus, it's large enough to fit a laptop, toiletry bag, and everything else you could possibly need. Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! I needed something to use when I'm traveling, especially for when I go to trade shows and meetings. I've always lugged my backpack everywhere and finally got fed up with it on a trip this past week. I also wanted something that was sophisticated looking and had a full zipper. I love the material because it's easy to clean. It looks almost exactly like the Longchamp bag, too, which is the main reason why I got it. I've actually been using it daily by putting my small purse in it and am able to put other things in it as well (small jacket, water bottle, small reusable bag, etc.) It has two inner pockets, which are near the top of the bag. One is zipped, and one isn't. It stays on my shoulder and doesn't slip off, unlike other bags I've had. I'm curious to see how well it holds and for how long, but so far I'm very impressed and very happy with the quality!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors). 18. Or an elevated laptop tote bag because you deserve to strut into work in style. It's roomy, super versatile, and the perfect alternative to the Béis Work Tote, but a lot less $$$. Reviewers even say they like this one a lot better. Promising reviews: "It's much more spacious than it looks. It's very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop chargers, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn't feel bulky or cumbersome." — Su "I had purchased the Béis bag in the past and have gone through four of them in one year. This bag is the perfect [alternative] but 100,000x better quality! The lining hasn't ripped like the past bags I've purchased, and it has great compartments and durability. This bag is a must for the quality, style and price!! I will never go back to another brand." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $34.86 (available in nine styles). 19. A cropped padded workout tank if you've always wanted the Lululemon look but you don't feel like dropping 💸💸💸 on the name brand. The look and material is so comparable to Lulu, literally no one will believe you were able to snag this from Amazon. Time to get one in every color. Check it out on TikTok. Promising reviews:"Honestly saw this on TikTok and contemplated getting it for a long time. I'm so glad I committed! It's tight and holds everything together really well. It's extremely comfortable. The padding is amazing so you don't have to worry about a bra underneath at all. You can wear it with sweats or leggings to the gym or even dress it up for a night out. Considering more colors for sure!" — Kristyn Long "This cami is SOOO high quality; it feels exactly like, if not even BETTER quality than, similar Lululemon yoga camis. The length is perfect, not too short not too long. After reading reviews, I decided to size up and get a large because some people said if you get it too small, the straps might cut into you, and it'd be too short. I agree with that! They're so soft, I'm just shocked at the quality, and such cute colors! I got white and a light green. Absolutely obsessed with these and will be ordering more!" — Rosa Rodriquez Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 26 colors). 20. And another cropped tank so similar to the popular Lululemon Align Tank, your jaw will absolutely drop when you see how inexpensive these are in comparison. This top is super versatile, so feel free to wear it with a cute pair of jeans on your way to brunch, or with leggings as you go for your weekly Pilates class. Promising review: "I was looking for a Lululemon Align tank [alternative] and this is it! I'm honestly surprised this top hasn't gotten more attention because it is such a gem!! I love activewear and I'm very impressed by the quality of this top for the price. The fabric is so soft stretchy and opaque yet sleek enough where it won't pill. I'm 5'6 and this top hits me right above my waist so I can comfortably wear high waisted leggings/pants without a ton of midriff being exposed. There is a lot of structure to the top which aids in providing medium support and functionality to the top even without adjustable straps. I'm hoping the straps won't stretch out but the bra band inside is tight yet comfortable. Even the foam cups are nice! Because of the design, I'm not sure how this top would perform for bigger cup sizes as I do have a bit of side boob. Nothing I can't adjust, but I can see this being an issue for larger-chested girls. I am just so in love with the sweetheart neckline and sleek silhouette and I'm very pleased with this purchase. 😁 This is a great staple piece for anyone who's ballin on a budget. Do not hesitate to buy this top!" — Allie Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in 29 colors and sizes XS–3XL). 21. A chain purse if you've always salivated over the thought of owning Gucci's Dionysus bag, but your bank account says ✨no.✨ This has the same chain style and front clasp, so literally no one will be able to tell the difference — don't worry, I won't spill your lil' secret. Promising review: "Let me spill the tea — it's giving major Gucci vibes! This bag is a total [alternative], and I'm here for it!!!!! It's super cute, perfectly sized, and I'm completely obsessed. The snake print design adds that touch of luxury and edginess that I crave in a purse. Whether I'm rocking a casual look or dolled up for a night out, this bag pulls everything together like magic. The chain detail? For the price, it's everything. Talk about a chic statement piece. If you're all about that Gucci-esque style without breaking the bank then get ready to turn heads and have everyone wondering, 'Is that a Gucci?' Oh honey, it's a fashion secret we'll keep to ourselves." — Rita Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 21 colors). 22. Or a quilted purse that's really giving ✨Chanel.✨ It's luxurious, has quilt stitching (be still, my beating heart), three compartments, and is super sophisticated. You'll literally find yourself reaching for this bag on every occasion. The best part? This bag won't cost you a whole month's rent. Promising reviews: "I purchased this bag because of the Chanel look and I've gotten lots of compliments on this bag. I'm glad I purchased it." — Carrollpickard "I needed a new everyday bag and wanted it to have a kinda upscale look without having to spend too much. I'm so pleased with this purchase. It is now my favorite every day bag. It's not too big (I don't like carrying big bags), but you can carry a nice amount of stuff in it. The color is nice and feels sturdy. I plan on buying a couple more colors!" — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 14 colors). 23. A classic pleated tennis skirt to make it look like you belong at a country club tennis court — no one's gotta know you've got a budget. Reviewers have compared these to Nike, Alo, and Aritzia — hello, bougie! Promising reviews: "I LOVE this skirt! I have the original Nike one and they are identical. The only difference is that it doesn't have a logo on it, but tbh, I prefer the no-logo look. It's such a good buy and SO comfortable!" — Tayler "I was skeptical at first but once it arrived! WOW! I love this skirt! I need one in every color now. Very comfortable, breathable fabric, and the skirts have secret pockets on the inside of the shorts! I really like it, and the length is perfect! Oh, and there's a super cool thick band around the skirt top. It looks very nice I received a lot of compliments on skirt! Definitely recommend! ❤️" — VM Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in nine colors and XS–XXL). 24. An oversized hoodie because why pay for an Abercrombie Essential Popover hoodie when this is basically the same thing for so much cheaper? You're gonna wanna snag one (or five) of these ASAP. Promising review: "I think I like this hoodie better than the Abercrombie Essential hoodie! So soft, and the quality is amazing. Definitely oversized. I want one in every color:)" — Jen Schumacher Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in 26 colors and sizes S–XL). 25. A high-waisted mini skirt that looks incredibly familiar (hello, Aritzia? Is that you?) and made with a satiny material that is sure to make you feel ~très chic~. This skirt comes in a bunch of different colors, so you can snag a bunch of 'em for the same price as a single name-brand one — and no one will even be able to tell the difference. Promising reviews: "It was the perfect mini length, not too short. Keep in mind this skirt is very high waisted, if that isn't what you're looking for. Ordered the white and it's not see through if worn with nude underwear. I love it! Looks just like the one from Aritzia for $100. Might ordered another color :): — Sam Waldbillig "I LIVE in these skirts. I am back to order more so I figured I would leave a review. These skirts make any outfit standout. Last night I paired the off-white skirt with a black turtleneck, scarf, and knee high boots. Let me tell you, it was giving ELEGANT. I definitely recommend these skirts. They also hold up over time and iron well. Fits true to size." — LarZ Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 30 colors/styles). 26. A simple, gorgeous tennis bracelet to add some ✨sparkle✨ to your wrist, but ya know, without costing you the down payment of a nice house in the suburbs. This elegant piece looks just like Swarovski, and reviewers say it doesn't tarnish, so it's bound to last you a lifetime. After all, diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but cubic zirconia is her lover. Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters "I just lost my very real gold tennis bracelet. I've heard good things about this company and decided to order one that looked like the one I lost. It just came in, and it looks as nice as my real one. I don't know how it will do as time goes, but for $19, it's a great buy." — Alina Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three lengths, 14-karat gold-plated or 18-karat gold vermeil, and in yellow, rose, or white gold). 27. A lingerie bodysuit with an elegant lace pattern and plunging neckline to make you feel ~sexy~ without having to drop $$$ on that expensive Victoria's Secret set you've been eyeing. Believe me, that special someone in your life will surely love it. 😉 Amazon Promising reviews: " Ok wow! This is a Victoria's Secret or sexier style of for a great price! My husband is going to love it!!! It also has clips on the bottom to just open haha and the lace is so beautiful you would never believe it's from Amazon; it really looks like it is from an expensive lingerie store. WOW!" — Cielo "From material to size to price, all are TOP TIER!!!! Unbeatable price for such amazing quality material; super soft and comfortable fit! Ordered white for my bridal boudoir shoot and will ABSOLUTELY be ordering every other color!! If you're debating whether or not to order…ORDER IT!!! By far my favorite lingerie I've EVER owned!!" — Destiny Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and six colors). 28. Oversized square sunglasses that will make your friends think you shelled out the big bucks for Bottega Veneta, when really all it cost you was the price of two meals at Chick-fil-A. Plus, you won't cry when you accidentally lose a pair or scratch them up at the beach — which, let's be honest, is more likely to happen than not. Promising reviews:"Love these so so much. I wanted the chic Bottega Veneta designer pair, but these look exactly like those for less than $20. Deal of the century. They are comfortable and extremely well made and I seriously can't get over the price. I'm thinking about buying another color because I love them so much." — Kam "I saw these sunglasses on TikTok a couple of months ago and finally ordered them. I'm so glad I did. I LOVE them!! They're such good quality! And I love the way they look on. I'd definitely buy them again!!" — Sammie Batey Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 14 colors). 29. A full-zip track jacket because dropping $100+ on that Lululemon Define jacket honestly does not seem like the best financial decision at this time — but honestly why would you, when this baby is so similar and literally a fraction of the price?! And yeah, don't worry, it even has the thumb holes. Some versions of the jacket have pockets, too! Promising review: "TikTok brought me here! I saw many reviews for the Lululemon BBL jacket; however, I was not ready to spend over $100 on a jacket. I'm a frugal gal. I absolutely love this jacket; my boyfriend told me it looked great, and I got many compliments. Truly the perfect alternative for the BBL jacket!" — Bri Campos Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 15 colors). 30. A loungewear set for those of you who don't want to sacrifice comfort for style. You can lounge around confident in your fashionista status with a set that looks ridiculously similar to the Skims set the Kardashians are known to adore. Promising review:"No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they're plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, I'm back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!" — Jenna Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $54.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 24 colors). 32. A chunky-heeled designer lookalike because the viral Versace shoes you've been salivating over for months are just a lil' too much, and why spend all that money when you don't have to? These gorgeous heels will elevate your fashion game completely; you can pair them with literally anything. Plus reviewers even say they're comfy?? I want three pairs, STAT. Promising reviews: " I've been wanting the Versace ones but obviously can't afford them. I saw a TikToker share these so I snatched them up immediately. I'm in love!!! I'm a 5.5 in heels so I got the 5 and they fit perfectly. They are pretty comfy too, which is nice. I'm thinking about getting them in different colors now." — Courtney Van Court "Baby goooorl... March yourself into the checkout browser because these are so so so good!! They're really comfortable, which I wasn't expecting at all except for the ankle strap, but I think that's because I'm sensitive??? The height was something I was a little scared of, but they're so easy to walk in; I suppose the platform cancels out a portion of the heel. Obviously, they're not perfect, but if you want that, you should probably go talk Versace with $1,800 in your pocket." — Anika Get them from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 4–10.5 and 10 colors). 33. A pair of high-waisted quick-dry running shorts that are super comfortable, lightweight, and affordable — especially when compared to the pricey Lululemon's Hottie Hot shorts. Promising review: "I actually have Lululemon shorts, but I was looking for a cheaper alternative…This is the one! Super cute, true to size, and comes in a lot of colors. The material feels the exact same as the Lululemon! — Abuchanan Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 24 colors). 34. A set of beautiful faux pearl hair clips so you can feel like you're on the steps of The Met, reading the latest Gossip Girl post without tendrils of hair falling into your eyes. It's minimal, it's chic, and let's be honest — it's totally something Blair would wear. But ya know... without the hefty price tag of actual pearls. Amazon Promising review: "Most favorite hair clips! These just dress up anything you are wearing, but you don't have to fix your hair. I love the variety of sizes. The pearls are a beautiful shade of white, I get compliments every time I wear these." — Molly Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in five different assortments). And with that, I'll leave you with this quote: "Whoever said money doesn't buy happiness didn't know where to shop." Alloy Entertainment Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

I'm Going To Tell You A Secret: These 32 Pieces Are Cheaper Alternatives To Lululemon, Skims, And Birkenstock
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Try not to brag too much about how much you saved on these fashion finds. Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 1. A Skims-esque sweetheart neckline bodysuit you and your wallet will cry tears of joy over because it's super stylish and won't bleed you dry financially. It'll pair wonderfully with skirts, shorts, and jeans that require a seamless tucked look. The ultra-smooth ~~smoke cloud~~ fabric is also double-layered for extra support. Promising review: "This bodysuit is amazing! The material is not sheer. The thong portion is surprisingly comfortable, which is a big plus. I'm pretty sure I need it in every color now! The price is reasonable, and the fabric is warm and comfortable. Highly recommend!" — Emily Kahle Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and 10 colors). 2. And this scoop neck top — it feels just as buttery-smooth as the cult-fave Skims top and has the same fitted look to boot. This one is *much* cheaper and comes in a variety of colors. Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one lol, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in sizes XXS–3XL and 33 colors). 3. A classic herringbone necklace that'll having you triple-checking the price considering it looks soo much like the fancy Tiffany HardWear version, which, by the way, would set you back FIVE figures. Amazon Promising review: "I've been thinking about purchasing the Tiffany version of this necklace, but when I saw this one, I decided to purchase it. So glad I did. It is beautiful and very substantial. When I first put it on, couldn't believe the weight, in a good way. Feels and looks expensive, and the color of the gold is perfect, in my opinion; not too yellow or orangey. Love, love, love this necklace!!!" — FAXA10 Get it from Amazon for $19.94 (available in six styles). 4. High-waisted leggings if you've had your eye on the Lululemon Align version but can't bear to shell out an entire Benjamin for one piece of activewear. These are made of a heavenly soft material *and* they're squat-proof. They're called ~Dreamlux~ leggings for a reason, people. Amazon Promising review:"These leggings are absolutely awesome. They are very stretchy and comfortable. They don't slide down at all throughout the day. I love the high waist and smooth, soft material. I have now bought three of them and wear them all the time!" — Alice Get them from Amazon for $29+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL, two lengths, and in 22 colors). 5. A dreamy midi corset dress when you need that go-to flowy number so you can happily prance around in fields of wildflowers, knowing you saved over a hundred bucks. No seriously, the House of CB version retails for a staggering $225. 👀 Check it out on TikTok. Promising reviews: "Bought this dress because I always wanted to get the House of CB dress but didn't want to pay over $250 for it. It's honestly so good! I got the size large in this since they didn't have my normal sizes, which are small to medium (I have a bigger chest so I tend to size up). But since this has a corset back, I was able to cinch it up really tight and it fit perfectly!" — Chris Herfurth Kennedy "Beautiful stunning perfection. This may be the best thing I've ever bought on Amazon. The corset in the back makes it fit like it was made for me. It's double-lined and not see-through at all even though it's white. The straps are adjustable, the slit is a good height, and the fabric is slightly stretchy. I cannot say enough good things about it. It did come slightly wrinkly in the skirt, but nothing that a good steam won't fix." — Shoshanna Get it from Amazon for $55.99 (available in sizes 0–14 and in 16 colors/styles). 6. A pair of comfy clogs with big "Birkenstock who??" vibes and it's easy to see why. They're similar to the beloved Birkenstock Boston Clog in all the ways that matter. The key difference? You won't have to walk around feeling ashamed about how much you paid for 'em. Promising review:"They look just like my real Birkenstock clogs!! The shape, the buckle, the fit: They all make the clog feel legit. They are also super comfy! There is cushioning in the heel that makes them very comfortable to wear. If you are hesitant, just buy them. This is SUCH a bargain considering how expensive real Birks are LOL." — Quinlan Hanrahan Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 5–12, including wide sizes, and in 14 colors). 7. And some double-buckle slide sandals made of 100% genuine leather so you can celebrate the return of warm weather with your toes out. These have adjustable straps for a custom fit and a comfy natural cork footbed. Reviewers agree these are just like the expensive Birkenstock sandals that typically retail for more than triple the price! Promising review: "I absolutely love these! Great Birkenstock [alternative]. They look almost exactly the same and they are so comfortable the minute you put them on they like melt in your feet. You can wear them and break them in and absolutely NO blisters which is a A+++ for me! I got the 7.5 so I have some extra room to wear them with socks. I'm usually a 6.5 or 7 and they are perfect, I could have even gotten an 8." — Jennifer Roth Get them from Amazon for $34.90 (available in sizes 5.5–11, including wide sizes, and in 23 colors). 8. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings your friends won't stop asking about until you spill the deets. Whether you choose to tell them you snagged these babies for mere dollars in comparison to the pricey Bottega Veneta ones is up to you. Promising review:"These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and an extra large size). 9. A bodycon lounge dress reviewers are totally obsessed with because it's cute, comfy, form-fitting, and most importantly, it's comparable to Skims, which makes it a total steal for the price! Promising review:"I have the Skims bodycon as well, and this is a great alternative! The Skims dress is ribbed, and the fabric is thinner and softer, but I don't think that the Skims dress quality increases proportionally with the higher price point. If I were to purchase another bodycon dress, it would hands down be this one. It hugs my figure beautifully and can be layered and styled for all seasons. It's one of the most versatile pieces in my wardrobe!" — Makayla Curtis Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes XXS–XL and in 10 colors). 10. Slingback heels you'll have no choice but to strut your stuff in — they're *that* high fashion but without the splurgy price tag. These look just as fancy as the Chanel pair but won't inflict permanent damage on your bank account. Promising review:"Love these sandals. I bought them for a black and beige dress, thinking I'd be limited to only those matching colors. After receiving and trying them on — they looked perfect with jeans, too! My feet are not narrow but not wide either. The fit is perfect on my size 8 feet, which are usually in sneakers. Dressing up in these sandals will present a [high-end] vibe and be comfortable, too!! I love the look it gives my feet! Dress it up, dress it down, and easy wearing — my go-to sandals now!!" — shinyliberty Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in six colors). 11. A faux-leather belt that'll add the perfect finishing touch to just about any outfit you come up with — for a lot less $$$ than the Gucci version! Even the most casual looks (think distressed denim and crop tops) can be taken up a notch with this trendy accessory. Promising review:"This is my favorite belt! It's perfect with jeans, and I get so many compliments on it. I love that the double-ring is sort of designer-inspired, but not a complete knockoff of the Gucci belt. I highly recommend! I am typically a medium and the medium was perfect." — Everyday Teacher Style Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in nine colors). 12. A three-pack of vintage-inspired polarized sunglasses when you'd love to add some Ray-Ban look-alikes to your accessory rotation at a price you can actually afford. The lightweight frames are super comfy and flexible so you'll probably forget you're wearing 'em until the compliments start rolling in. Oh, and they protect against harmful UV rays, too! Promising review:"I've been buying these for years. They replaced my Ray-Bans that look identical! Fit great and with the price point I don't have to worry too much with my kids and being on the go!" — Jessica M. Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.99+ (be sure to clip the coupon on the product page for 20% off this price; available in 15 sets, two-packs, and individually). 13. A game-changing cropped tank, which may look familiar because it's the thrifty version of the Lululemon Align tank! It's perfect for lounging, exercising, and everything in between. Wear it solo or as a base layer depending on what you're getting into. Promising review: "I was looking for a Lululemon Align tank [alternative] and this is it! I'm honestly surprised this top hasn't gotten more attention because it is such a gem!! I love activewear and I'm very impressed by the quality of this top for the price. The fabric is so soft stretchy and opaque yet sleek enough where it won't pill. I'm 5'6 and this top hits me right above my waist so I can comfortably wear high-waisted leggings/pants without a ton of midriff being exposed. There is a lot of structure to the top which aids in providing medium support and functionality to the top even without adjustable straps. I'm hoping the straps won't stretch out but the bra band inside is tight yet comfortable. Even the foam cups are nice! Because of the design, I'm not sure how this top would perform for bigger cup sizes as I do have a bit of side boob. Nothing I can't adjust but I can see this being an issue for larger chested [people]. I am just so in love with the sweetheart neckline and sleek silhouette and I'm very pleased with this purchase😁 This is a great staple piece for anyone who's ballin on a budget. Do not hesitate to buy this top!" — Allie Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 14. A lightweight yet oversized knit button-up cardigan I bet you'll wanna live in year-round because of how well it marries high-end fashion with cozy feels. Reviewers even compare it to the pricier Jenni Kayne "Cocoon" cardigan so you know it's worth the hype! Amazon Promising review: "The sweater is extremely comfortable and high quality, and the color selections were awesome. I chose the cognac color which is kind of a taupe-ish brownish color. Bought it to match some khaki boots and the match was terrific. The pockets are nice. The sweater is roomy. The sleeves are a good length. The thickness is perfect for warmtj without being overly bulky. I really like this sweater and will order more colors." — Alana Mohacsi Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 14 styles). 15. An adjustable mini belted pack — yes, there is such a thing as a fashionable fanny pack that doesn't break the bank. If you've been longing for the Lululemon one, this is a much cheaper (and dare I say, cuter) alternative. BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly also owns this — she packed it as her only bag for a trip to busy trip to Iceland, and not only did it hold a ton and keep her hands free, it easily fit around her waist over her outerwear. Promising review: "TikTok told me this compared to Lululemon, and it's true, it is. Love this little bag! And the price — you can't beat it." — Jolie Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in 43 colors). 16. A dazzling cubic zirconia ring you'll wear with practically every outfit because it's just that glamorous and versatile. Once this pretty little number is on your finger, you'll no longer daydream about the Cartier Love Ring that costs more than your rent. Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knock-off when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing Get it from Amazon for 8.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles). 17. And a cubic zirconia cuff so you can complete the look! Yep, this dainty cuff is just as stylish as the Cartier Love Bracelet with *far* less zeros at the end of the price tag. Reviewers also appreciate that it's easy to take on and off, unlike the expensive version that requires a screw. As if. Promising review: "This is a product where you can't say 'you get what you paid for' because it really looks sophisticated. It doesn't look cheap. I bought this because the Cartier Love bracelets are very expensive and I don't like doing the screw because I don't plan to always wear them since I have a little kid and sometimes it's uncomfortable. If you want a Cartier Love bracelet [alternative], this is it! Easy to open and close. Very flawless. Why did I just think about this!? Lol." — Shiexil Get it from Amazon for $10.19+ (available in five sizes, three finishes, and four other styles). 18. An RFID-blocking crossbody phone wallet to keep the essentials safe and within arm's reach at. all. times. It's great for travel but may just become your go-to everyday crossbody too. Plus, it's loads cheaper than the pricey Bandolier version! Claasico is a small business that specializes in wallet and tech accessories. Promising review: "Loved everything about it. Only problem is I can never find my purse since it isn't necessary 99% of the time. Hands-free carrying is great, and it can even fit a pen, stylus, and check-in with my phone. I can also attach my keys! This is a great purchase. Shoppers at stores have asked me where did I buy it because they wanted one too." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in nine styles). 19. A gorgeous laptop tote bag with high-end vibes you'll probably want to carry everywhere — even when you don't need your computer. It can fit laptops up to 15.6 inches and other essentials, like your phone, makeup bag, iPad, and more! You'll also breathe a sigh of relief knowing you didn't splurge over $100 on the pricey Béis Work Tote. Promising reviews: "It's much more spacious than it looks. It's very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn't feel bulky or cumbersome." — Su " Purchased for my daughter, who is an attorney. She said she really likes it and has gotten many compliments on it from her peers." — J Cliett Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in nine styles). 20. Lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers say are just as good as Lululemon's Align joggers. Whether you're rotting on the couch or hitting the gym, you'll be comfy as heck in these. Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 22 colors). 21. A gorg pair of Gucci-esque loafer mules that prove you can live like the rich and famous but in a much more resourceful way. People may ask for the receipts when you drop the price, so maybe this is that one secret you should never tell. Amazon Promising review:"Such cute shoes that are maybe even better than the designer inspiration! I ordered a 37 and usually am a 6.5. They fit perfectly. The footbed is more padded than the designer version. Leather is soft and comfortable on the foot. Sole is not slippery." — Emily Wilson Get it from Amazon for $49.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors). 22. Oversize square sunnies to leave everyone guessing about which designer made your stylish shades! Little do they know you're about to own 'em in every color. 😎 These have a bit of Bottega energy but a much more reasonable price tag. Plus, they have polarized lenses and UV protection! Promising review:"I found these because a girl on TikTok was wearing them. The quality is amazing. Not cheap material. Good shape. I love them. Totally worth the price. I'll probably end up getting another pair to keep in my car." — Alisa Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 14 lens colors). 23. A cropped zip-up workout jacket you'll wear even when you're not exercising because it's just that comfortable and cute. Plus, ~running~ errands pretty much counts as a workout anyway, right? This jacket has a half zipper up to the neck, cutesy thumb holes, and a lightly compressive fit. Promising review:"Lululemon WHOOOO? Great quality, washed well with my regular laundry. Retained its color and shape. I wore it for a back day at the gym and it was extremely comfortable/durable, no issues! I will keep buying these crop jackets. Also if you have a bigger chest I suggest you size up!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 13 styles). 24. A sparkly CZ tennis bracelet if you want to feel super luxurious without spending a fortune! Swarovski isn't exactly an option for those of us on a budget, but this is the next best thing. Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters "I just lost my very real gold tennis bracelet. I've heard good things about this company and decided to order one that looked like the one I lost. It just came in, and it looks as nice as my real one. I don't know how it will do as time goes, but for $19, it's a great buy" — Alina Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three lengths, 14-karat gold-plated or 18-karat gold vermeil, in yellow, rose, or white gold, and in packs of two). 25. Some stretchy faux leather leggings for anyone who adores the Spanx look but not the steep price tag. Reviewers can't stop talking about how thin, comfy, and stretchy these are while still looking mega sleek. They're easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion, too! Promising review:"I really like these leggings. I bought different pairs in the past that were much more expensive, and I wasn't nearly as happy as I am with these leggings. Very stretchy and fits true to size. Great value for the price." — Kelly Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors). 26. A waffle knit button-down shacket just like the one from American Eagle, which is an absolute must if your closet has been begging you to add a new staple (or five) to the rotation. Wear it open with a plain tee, or button it up when it's chilly! Promising review: " This product is very soft and lightweight. It can be worn on a spring or summer night and carry you through to the fall with a shirt underneath and through winter with a turtleneck. It is truly a garment for all seasons. Worth the purchase." — Mame Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 14 colors). 27. An Ugg-inspired suede mule slipper that'll have you doing a double-take when you see the price because they're wayyy more affordable than the name-brand version without compromising on the cozy factor. They even come in half sizes, folks!! Promising review: "Great slipper. Easily compares to my Uggs for so much less. Run long and narrow. I can comfortably wear them with socks or without." — Laurie Get them from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes 6–11, including wide sizes, and in six colors). 28. A sleeveless halter bodysuit reviewers compare to the likes of Zara and Skims. Tbh, you may need in every color with how often it'll make an appearance in your rotation. Reviewers love how breathable, stretchy, and supportive it is — some even skip the bra! Promising review: "I absolutely love this top! Saw it in a few TikTok videos and decided to try. I have it in white, nude, coffee, and black. I love wearing it under blazers for interviews." — Abryana Marks Get it from Amazon for $24.97+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 28 colors). 29. A trendy tote bag — it may remind you of the ridiculously expensive Longchamp Le Pliage bag, but you'll do a double take when you see the significantly lower price tag! It's spacious enough for a laptop, notebook, makeup bag, and more. Plus, it even folds up into a tiny lil' triangle, just like the Longchamp one. Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! I needed something to use when I'm traveling, especially for when I go to trade shows and meetings. I've always lugged my backpack everywhere and finally got fed up with it on a trip this past week. I also wanted something that was classy looking and had a full zipper. I love the material because it's easy to clean. It looks almost exactly like the Longchamp bag too which is the main reason why I got it. I've actually been using it daily by putting my small purse in it and am able to put other things in it as well (small jacket, water bottle, small reusable bag, etc.) It has two inner pockets which are near the top of the bag. One is zipped and one isn't. It stays on my shoulder and doesn't slip off, unlike other bags I've had. I'm curious to see how well it holds and for how long, but so far I'm very impressed and very happy with the quality!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors). 30. A pair of iconic cross-waist leggings that rival the viral version from Aerie but don't cost nearly as much. Whether you're hitting the gym or spending the day bed-rotting, these leggings are IT. Did I mention the hidden waistband pocket? Promising review:"I bought these leggings because I saw a plus-size woman on TikTok raving about them and thought they were cute! I read reviews, and 90% of them were great, so I ordered them. When I got them the next day I immediately put them on, and I LOVE THEM! They are soooo soft and comfy, and not see-through at all! Definitely recommend these!" — Taylor Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, three lengths, with or without pockets, and dozens of colors). 31. A head-turning bodycon jumpsuit with flared bottoms strikingly similar to the Aritzia version but with a price tag that won't cause spontaneous fainting. It's great for running errands, low-impact workouts, or simply struttin' yourself. No one will have a clue how much $$$ you saved! Promising review: "I never leave reviews but this jumpsuit deserves one!! It is an exact alternative for the Aritzia flared jumpsuit. I actually even like this one more than my one from Aritzia!! The length on this is SO much better. I am 5'7 and the Aritzia one just barely goes past my ankles… I am wearing platform sandals with this one and there's still extra length! Also I am 28 weeks pregnant and a small fits my bump, SO stretchy!! Definitely ordering more colors." — Stuart W. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 10 colors). 32. An elegant pearl choker if your fashion game could use an upgrade that only looks expensive. This necklace will have Vivienne Westwood clutching her pearls because it's basically identical to the expensive version with a budget-friendly price tag. Promising review: "Run Forrest run!! Don't walk!! This is a perfect Vivienne Westwood [alternative]. I bought this when I didn't have enough money for the real one but unless you do a microscopic closeup of the two, this necklace is the literal perfect [copy] of the original. It feels pretty weighty and doesn't tarnish easily. The size is also perfect and the color matches the real one better than the other ones in the market. The packaging was also super cute and protective." — Ziaaaa Get a two-pack (gold and silver) from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in two other styles).

34 Budget-Friendly Products That Certainly Do Not Give Off Budget-Friendly Vibes
1. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones that are giving AirPods Max energy with their sleek look and premium cushion padding — except, of course, getting these won't require you handing over hundreds of dollars. They also feature a built-in mic for calls, 10 hours of battery life, and do a decent job of blocking out noise! iJoy is a small business that specializes in headphones and tech accessories. BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord owns these: "Because I'm vain as heck and need to own all things pink, but I was decently surprised by how well they muffle noise! I feel like these are ideal for people who still want to hear some of the world around them (read: parents, people working in open offices), but still want to listen to their tunes comfortably. The charge on these goes for at least four hours (I haven't tried it beyond that yet), and the Bluetooth connects to my devices super easily. Excellent pair of headphones for the price point." Promising review: "I really like these headphones. The noise cancellation isn't 100% but it's pretty close. The color is really cute and music comes through really clear. Calls are good as well. I wish the buttons on the side were a bit raised but that's it. For the price, these are really worth it!" — Sophia Taylor Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors). 2. An expensive-looking duffel bag with quite the resume. It's durable and water-resistant; plus, it has long handles to easily lug it around, a side panel to hook it onto a suitcase, and compartments to keep your wet/dirty clothes separate from your clean ones — check, check, check, and check. Promising reviews: "Used this bag for all of my dog's things on a cross-country move. We stayed in multiple hotels and did not have any issues with ripping or anything getting broken. It is sturdy, collapsible, and looks like an expensive piece of luggage. LOVE IT!" — victor forrester "This bag is amazing!! It's the perfect size for all my gym stuff. Clothes, shoes, water bottle, pre-workout, headphones, toiletries, etc., and it can be made smaller or bigger height-wise with these little buttons they have on the side that you can snap down. Very cute. It also has some inside mesh pockets to help separate things better. If you thinking about it, just buy it!" — Sarah Chambers Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and in dozens of colors). 3. A scoop neck top that's really giving Skims a run for their money. It's super soft with the perfect amount of thickness and stretchiness, making it the perfect versatile staple for your closet. Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one lol, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–3XL and 33 colors). 4. Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip formulated with vegan squalane, raspberry oil, and cloudberry oil to hydrate your lips while providing some serious shimmer. It's comparable to the Dior lip oil and UNDER $10, so everyone say "thank you" to Nyx. Promising review: "I have Fenty Cherry Treat, a lip oil from Dior, and several other brands that were $20 or more…and the NYX Fat Oil is better! Same consistency as the others, but a little more color, which is a good thing. About as long-lasting as any other thick lipgloss. It's always awesome to find a less expensive [option] for the high-end products I like." — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $7.54+ (available in 14 shades). 5. Some peel-and-stick palm leaf wallpaper to transform any room into a Pinterest inspo photo. This design is almost indistinguishable from West Elm's tropical wallpaper — except it's ~actually~ affordable. It really is just peel and stick (no paste or glue needed), and if you mess up, that's totally fine because you can simply reposition it! It also doesn't leave behind a residue, and it's steam- and moisture-resistant, so you can revamp your bathroom without worrying about it peeling. Promising review: "I used this in a little bathroom refresh, and it was perfect. So easy to apply and makes me feel like I'm at a bougie Palm Springs hotel. I love it!" — Pilatesandpapaya Get a 28-square-foot roll from Amazon for $35.92 (available in a two-pack and two other colors). 6. A deeply nourishing collagen-coating hair mask that only needs 5–20 minutes to revitalize your hair — and trust me, your strands will thank you. This treatment will leave your mane softer and glossier (it's the ceramide 3 and protein extracts!), and reviewers love how effective it is in repairing their damaged hair. You simply won't find another hair mask that works this well and is this affordable (*side-eyes Olaplex *). Promising reviews:"I have 4c hair and was looking for a protein treatment for my thin and fragile hair. I had recently used a product in my hair that had so much alcohol in it; that wreaked havoc on my hair, leaving it pretty damaged. I was very skeptical about this product because I have never seen anyone with my hair type use it. Boy was I wrong to doubt this product, it left my hair looking and feeling beautiful. I highly recommend it to anyone natural or with curly hair." — Therese-Claire "I have super fine, blonde hair. I've ran through likely hundreds of different hair masks and leave in conditioners over the years, only to have them cling to my hair like nothing else, often leaving it feeling waxy and heavy. After a few rounds of clarifying shampoo, I reached for this stuff and it legit brought my hair back from the grave. Even with my hair being extremely fine, it leaves it soft, glossy, and gorgeous! I know some people have said they're not a fan of the smell, but I find it to be super light and refreshing. Could not recommend this stuff enough!!" — Soph Get it from Amazon for $7.62. 7. Some oversized square sunnies for when you want to add some Bottega energy to your 'fit but don't have the extra cash to spend on a *real* designer pair. These have polarized lenses and UV protection — so they do more than just make you look chic and stylish. Promising review:"I've been looking at these sunglasses at Bottega Veneta for months but just couldn't justify spending the hundreds of dollars because I lose sunnies so often! These are EXACTLY THE SAME! The weight of them, the detail on the sides. The only difference is the brand name is not on the side (obviously LOL) Love these so much!" — Shelley Cooper Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 14 lens colors). 8. And some Bottega-esque teardrop earrings you can wear with any 'fit for any occasion — not many accessories can look as equally amazing with a shirt and jeans as they do with a floor-length gown, but these pull it off! Promising review:"These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega drop earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 11 colors, two-packs, and an extra-large size). 9. E.l.f's brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara that wraps each individual lash in tiny, lightweight "tubes" (hence the name) made of flexible polymers for maximum length and volume. And the real magic happens when you remove it: Instead of smudging or smearing, these tubes cleanly come off with just a little warm water and gentle wiping — so NO raccoon eyes! Check out a TikTok of the E.l.f. tubing mascara in action. Emma swears by this budget-friendly option: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the E.l.f. tubing mascara formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even wearing mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). 10. An affordable longline sports bra made from a very soft, stretchy material that's pretty similar to the Lulu Align tank. It's quickly become a staple in a ton of reviewers' wardrobes (with 29,000 5-star ratings to prove it), and many say they don't even wear a bra with this because of the supportive padding. It's so good, people are snagging it in different colors — and you'll probably want to as well. 😉 Promising review:"LOVE. It is super comfortable to wear and is great for supporting my chest when I go on a run. Doesn't collect sweat. Very nice and cool material for hotter environments. I have it in so many colors because I love them so much. HIGHLY recommend!" — Cheyenne Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 11. And a pair of lightweight legging-style joggers to complete your Lulu look. And just like the Lulu ones, these are breathable with a wide waistband for maximum comfort. You can wear them to work out, run errands, or just lounge in! Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 23 colors). 12. L'Oreal's True Match Lumi Glotion so you can glow like a beautiful sunset without spending three times as much on Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Drops. This adds a lightweight tint that creates a natural dewy look, perfect for mixing with your favorite moisturizer or layering with foundation! Promising reviews: "I used this with my Olay Regenerist Cream (it helps with my wrinkles). I mixed it, and it does a great deal of shine! You should buy it if you're looking for a Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Drops substitute! Way better than Drunk Elephant." — raegan kuball "I actually like this glowy lotion better than the Drunk Elephant one, and I have both. This goes on smoothly and is not greasy. It leaves you very glowy with a beautiful tan and works well with makeup on top if you so wish. Lasting power, too. Recommend." — ggvega Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in five shades and as a two-pack). 13. A vegan leather shoulder bag that's so versatile and chic, you'll be pairing it with everything from a casual tee and jeans to a sleek dress for date night. It comes in a stunning range of colors that you'll want to collect like Infinity Stones — and I mean, you literally could buy *four* of these for the same price as JW Pei's adorable Joy shoulder bag. Promising review: "I'm amazed at the quality of this bag!! Like helloooo, don't think, just buy. To think I almost bought the JW Pei original. This will do just GREAT." — Olive Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in nine styles). 14. A marble board wire cheese cutter for effortlessly slicing through cheese with precision — and when you're not using it, it'll just sit pretty on your counter, adding a touch of style to your kitchen. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the cheese slicer in action. Promising review:"My mother-in-law had purchased one last year and I tried hers at Christmas and fell in love with how easy it was to use. We have a lot of get togethers with friends and cheese is a staple appetizer in our house. So I purchased my own and have been using it weekly since. It cuts easily and it's mostly easy to clean. Sometimes cheese gets stuck in the crack but some scrubbing with a small brush usually does the trick." — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $17.64 (available in two colors and two styles). 15. A lightweight Sol de Janeiro hair and body fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 — infused with a lovely blend of hibiscus, jasmine, and sun musk, it's reminiscent of the iconic Baccarat Rouge 540 (but won't leave your wallet crying). Promising review: "I finally received my new body spray yesterday and was in complete shock at the resemblance to Baccarat Rouge 540. This body spray is so delicious. It is definitely a Baccarat Rouge 540 [alternative]. There were so many reviews that said how much this body spray resembled the very pricey perfume, and they were all correct. I absolutely love Baccarat Rouge 540, but it's so expensive compared to other perfumes like Chanel, so I opt not to purchase it regularly. This body spray is a wonderful substitute for overpriced perfume. Today will be my first day wearing the spray, so hopefully, it has great longevity throughout the day as well. 🤞🏼 Regardless, I would still purchase it again moving forward." — Tina Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in two sizes and 10 scents). 16. And a moisturizing body wash giving similar vibes, because you deserve to smell ~luxurious~. This white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber–infused formula will get you pretty close to the OG without spending an arm and a leg. Emma says, "I bought this after being peer-pressured by all the lovely reviews and I'm happy to report it lives up to the hype. The scent is lovely — it has depth with a hint of floral, but it's light and not at all overpowering. My favorite thing about it is how easily it pairs other scents, because I am a body mist gremlin who swaps out her scents every day. The lather is also deeply satisfying and I feel quite refreshed and squeaky clean without ever feeling dry." Promising review:"Cremo's body wash is nothing short of exceptional. If you're a fan of luxurious fragrances, this product will quickly become your new favorite. It boasts an incredible scent that perfectly mimics Baccarat Rouge 540 — a fragrance renowned for its sophisticated and captivating aroma. What sets this body wash apart is not just its stunning scent but also its longevity. The fragrance lingers beautifully throughout the day, ensuring you stay enveloped in that luxurious aroma long after your shower." — Ralph D. Thompson II Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three scents). 17. A set of affordable lavender shower steamers to turn your everyday shower into a mini spa experience. Just set one on the floor (not *directly* in the flow of water, but to the side), and it'll release a soothing scent, enhancing the experience with some lovely aromatherapy. It's great for anyone who loves a little self-care after a long, draining day. Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins. Promising review: "Hubby bought these for me because I work full time and just decided to go back to school full time, and he figured I'd be a little stressed, haha. They all smell wonderful, they work great, they'll definitely help me calm down especially during exam time at school or budget season at work." — Tyleena Gloeker Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three styles). 18. A stunning laptop tote bag if you've been dying to own the luxurious Béis Work Tote but don't have over $100 to spend on a bag. This tote is just as wonderful, with a padded pocket that fits up to a 15.6-inch laptop and many other compartments for all the stuff you'd need for your day. The handles and shoulder strap are both adjustable and detachable, so you can also wear it different ways! Promising reviews: "It's much more spacious than it looks. It's very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you carry it, it doesn't feel bulky or cumbersome." — Su " Purchased for my daughter, who is an attorney. She said she really likes it and has gotten many compliments on it from her peers." — J Cliett Get it from Amazon for $34.86+ (available in nine styles). 19. Or a trendy tote bag that could get mistaken for the Longchamp Le Pliage bag — it even folds into a tiny rectangle just like the OG. (Whether you decide to tell people you got it for waaay less is up to you.) It's the perfect commuter bag and can easily hold your laptop, iPad, and all of your daily essentials! Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! I needed something to use when I'm traveling, especially for when I go to trade shows and meetings. I've always lugged my backpack everywhere and finally got fed up with it on a trip this past week. I also wanted something that was classy looking and had a full zipper. I love the material because it's easy to clean. It looks almost exactly like the Longchamp bag too which is the main reason why I got it. I've actually been using it daily by putting my small purse in it and am able to put other things in it as well (small jacket, water bottle, small reusable bag, etc.) It has two inner pockets which are near the top of the bag. One is zipped and one isn't. It stays on my shoulder and doesn't slip off, unlike other bags I've had. I'm curious to see how well it holds and for how long, but so far I'm very impressed and very happy with the quality!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors). 20. A sleek, water-resistant fitness smartwatch with 70 activity modes to track everything from your heart rate and daily steps to calories burned per workout. It even receives calls and texts, so you can sneakily stay in the loop while your group chat is blowing up during a meeting. It's honestly very similar to an Apple Watch, but, of course, for way less money (like waaay less). Just some extra info for ya: It has Bluetooth connectivity that's compatible with both Android and iOS. And since there's a built-in microphone and speaker, you'll be able to answer and make calls, but you can only receive texts, not send them (since there's no keyboard option). Promising review: "This is a great inexpensive alternative to an iWatch. This watch has exceeded my expectations in quality, battery life, and usefulness. It can go 5–7 days on one charge, has over 400 watch faces to pick from, and will track steps, sleep, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels. It comes with three different interchangeable watch bands so you should be able to find one that works for you. I'm extremely hard on watch faces, but the crystal on this watch is still perfect two months after purchase and I wear it 24/7. I loved mine so much I bought one for my daughter." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors). 21. A set of satin pillowcases that'll have you smiling in your sleep knowing how much you saved getting these instead of dropping over $50 on a single Blissy pillowcase. These create less friction on your hair compared to cotton pillowcases, which helps reduce frizz and breakage; plus, the satin just feels so soft and cool on your skin. Amazon Promising reviews:"My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok, and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn't frizzy or dull-looking when I get up in the morning." — Aaron Key "These are really nice — perfect price point too. There's no difference between these and the same pillowcases from Kitsch at three times the price." — Keri Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 35 colors and four sizes). 22. A classic herringbone necklace with a striking resemblance to the $13,000 Tiffany HardWear one, but this chain will elevate your wardrobe without breaking your budget. This with a black tee and jeans? Instantly chic. Promising review: "I've been thinking about purchasing the Tiffany version of this necklace but when I saw this one, I decided to purchase it. So glad I did. It is beautiful and very substantial. When I first put it on, couldn't believe the weight, in a good way. Feels and looks expensive, and the color of the gold is perfect, in my opinion; not too yellow or orangey. Love, love, love this necklace!!!" — FAXA10 Get it from Amazon for $19.94 (available in six styles). 23. A 100% leakproof temperature-detecting coffee thermos that'll keep your beverage hot or cold for up to 24 hours, all while keeping you updated on its exact temp. Plus, it's made from a special corrosion-resistant stainless steel, so you can use it over and over (and over) without your drinks tasting like rust. Promising review: "I ordered one based on reviews and it did not disappoint. I like my coffee HOT and my water COLD, and this lets me know exactly what to expect. It keeps ice for HOURS, as in well over 24 if the lid is on and over 12 even if the lid is off. Best feature ... I've managed to drop it TWICE in as many days and although the top is a little scratched (I had a sleeve from a different bottle that almost comes up to the lid), thermometer still works. Still leakproof. Couldn't ask for a better thermos." — Kelly H. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors). 24. A sparkly CZ tennis bracelet because you actually don't have to spend an arm and a leg on a Swarovski to feel opulent. This one looks just as elegant and timeless and can be worn everyday or to special events. Promising reviews: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo, and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters "I just lost my very real gold tennis bracelet. I've heard good things about this company and decided to order one that looked like the one I lost. It just came in, and it looks as nice as my real one. I don't know how it will do as time goes, but for $19, it's a great buy." — Alina Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in three lengths, 14-karat gold-plated or 18-karat gold vermeil, in yellow, rose, or white gold, and in packs of two). 25. A set of elegant cylindrical wineglasses to make drinking any beverage feel like you're celebrating something — and TBH, finding an affordable Crate & Barrel alternative IS cause for celebration. Joy Jolt is a small business that specializes in modern and pop culture-themed drinkware and kitchen accessories. Promising reviews:"Beautiful wineglasses. I am obsessed. They are so modern and elegant. The quality is really nice. They arrived very well packaged. Definitely worth the money." — Maybeline "Sexy glasses. Kinda over the stemless glasses, and these are [an affordable alternative] for the expensive ones from Crate & Barrel." — 1talleah Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three styles). 26. And a set of vintage-inspired glass coffee mugs with gold spoons if you'd rather not splurge on the nearly identical set from Anthropologie. Putting your favorite drinks, desserts, or snacks in a beautiful vessel just elevates the vibe. Amazon Promising review:"These are so cute and look like an Anthropologie [version] for a fraction of the price!" — corriescott Get the set of two from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in seven styles and sets with matching lids or saucers). 27. A reviewer-beloved set of double-brushed microfiber sheets that are so incredibly soft and luxe, you'll never want to leave your bed. If you're tired of waking up in a pool of sweat every night (or sleep next to someone who's a human heater), you're in luck, because reviewers say these have a remarkable "cooling" sensation. *And* they have deep pockets (18 inches to be exact!) that'll fit over even the thickest of mattress toppers. LuxClub is a small business that specializes in soft, durable, luxury-style sheets. P romising reviews: 'LOVE THESE!! I was searching for a sheet set that would help me sleep more comfortably at night and found these. I have terrible hot flashes with night sweats and get up in the morning just miserable. Of course, these do not eliminate my hot flashes as no sheets will, but they definitely make my nights much more comfortable by eliminating wet bedding and I definitely appreciate that! Aside from their moisture wicking abilities, they are very soft, easy to look at and launder extremely well. I would highly recommend these for anyone shopping for sheet sets and especially for anyone experiencing night sweats!! ' — Shannon Warfel "Super soft, great quality, good price. Saw these advertised on TikTok and had them sitting in my cart for months. My sister bought a set and when I felt how soft, I immediately bought them." — Donna Baker Get it from Amazon for $27.96+ (available in sizes twin—California king, with deep pockets, and in 40 styles). 28. A cubic zirconia ring if you're not ready to drop over $1,000 (!!) on the Cartier Love Ring but still want the look. You'll find yourself wearing this with basically all your outfits — it's just that easy to style. Promising review: "The perfect non-name-brand ring you can find honestly. I wasn't looking for a Cartier knockoff when I found this ring, but I have had people ask me if it's the real deal. I honestly love this ring though, the sizing was accurate, it is weighted well, none of the 'diamonds' have fallen off, and it hasn't tarnished! I've worn it daily for almost a year now and it has held up well. It has some very small scratches on it, but that's typical of most rings. For the price, I am super happy with this ring and I honestly can't believe how well it has handled everything I've put it through." — Eva Richterkessing Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in ring sizes 5–12, three finishes, and two styles). 29. And a gorgeous cocktail ring set that looks like it costs at least a thousand dollars, but nope! — it literally costs less than the shrimp carbonara from Olive Garden. Reviewers say it's very durable, so you'll be able to rock it for years to come. Promising review: "First let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time. I've been wearing it for over a month now and in the beginning I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks I just decided to leave it on and it has been fine. I never take it off, the ring is true to size. It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and it is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that I love it couldn't be happier, it's great for the price and I am very pleased." — tracy k revels Get it from Amazon for $20.39 (available in four colors and ring sizes 5–10). 30. A TikTok-viral "Soft" perfume rollerball that packs a punch with its sweet, long-lasting fragrance that reviewers compare to lemon cake, warm vanilla scones, and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar. Plus, it has high sillage so prepare to be turning heads when you're walking down the street — and all for five dollars. 🙌 Sillage refers to the trail of scent that lingers in the air after someone wearing perfume passes by. Promising review: "Like so many, I found this scent on TikTok. I was a bit skeptical at first but finally got around to trying it. First off, this scent smells amazing! Almost every time I've worn it, I receive compliments. It has a sweet smell, almost like warm cake or sugar cookies with a hint of lemon. With such an affordable price, I would definitely recommend this to anyone curious about trying it." — Chrissy Get it from Amazon for $6.10 (available in a perfume). 31. A pack of vegan and cruelty-free Lilac St. Original Lashes you can wear for up to 10 days (yes, you read that right!). They're a more affordable and accessible alternative to salon lash extensions but still give you the same flawless result. The silk lash fibers attach to an ultra-thin band that adheres well, giving you natural, wispy lashes that'll have you feeling like you're in the Winx club. ✨🦋 Check out why these are a fave in this TikTok. Promising review: "Y'all I have been a loyal Lilac St. customer since they started and I will never leave them. These are the absolute best quality. I get so many compliments. They are the most natural and most comfortable to wear. I use multiple times by using makeup remover and water to remove any glue. Seriously will never stray." — Katiew Get them from Amazon for $12.95 (available in four sizes, seven styles, and a starter kit that comes with the Originals in two sizes, lash glue, and an applicator). 32. Kitsch's iconic claw clip that's built to last, so get ready for this to be your hair's new best friend. The teeth are specially rounded to prevent hair damage while holding your locks securely; plus, it comes in gold and silver, so you can match it to your jewelry and give your daily 'fit a more put-together vibe. Kitsch is an LA-based, self-financed, woman-owned business established in 2010 that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review:"Love that you can dress this up or down! It is my go-to accessory for working in preschool to put my hair up quickly. It is elegant and classic. It is amazingly durable even in getting thrown in the bottom of my heavy work bag! I am amazed by this clip. I have coarse medium thick hair and it is the perfect size." — Niki Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors and packs of two or four). 33. A set of glass battery-operated LED flameless candles so you can have ~ambiance~ and fall asleep to candlelight without worrying about starting a fire. Just like the Luminara faux candles (which cost three times as much 👀), these are remote-controlled, allowing you to adjust their brightness and even set timers! These require three AAA batteries per candle that will last you about 150 hours. Promising review:"With the price of batteries, these beautiful candles are a must. I've always used Luminara, which unfortunately, devour batteries and die after several years. These candles also have a more soothing, ambient affect. The colored exteriors are far prettier than Luminara. Great gifts!" — pandorah Get the set of three from Amazon for $22.99 (available in six styles). 34. A trio of lip sleeping masks that essentially do the same thing as the Laneige one (providing deep hydration and nourishment) but for waaay less money *and* you get THREE of them! It's primarily an overnight treatment, but it can also be used as a lip balm throughout the day — so you're getting some serious bang for the little buck you spent. Promising review: " This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it's soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." — Riya Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in six scent combos). The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Whether you're staying in or going out, you'll look *and* feel good in these buttery soft biker shorts. Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 1. A crewneck sweater that some reviewers say feels like a Barefoot Dreams blanket! I mean who wouldn't want a sweater that feels like they are being wrapped up in a warm fuzzy blanket all day long? Promising review: "I splurged on Ugg sweaters last year and loved their softness and quality, so I was eager to find something similar. This sweater is a great find! The small fits with a nice oversized look without being too large. The pink color is subtle and a nice pop of color for colder months. Will be buying in another color." — A sly Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 28 colors). 2. A scoop neck top, which might just fool some people into thinking you hopped on the Skims train... BUT you got this for less than half the price! Many reviewers love the double lining and how buttery soft it feels so much that they bought it in different colors! Promising review: "At first, I was a little skeptical — I have been wanting to find a Skims-like material shirt for a while but didn't want to pay the price of one, LOL, and this shirt feels amazing. I will be getting one in every color now." — Julianne Get it from Amazon for $8.54+ (available in sizes XXS–3XL and in 33 colors). 3. A longline sports bra that'll give you just the right amount of support for your killer workout class without being too compressive for when you need to get some errands done post-workout. Reviewers compare the quality to Lululemon and love how versatile it is for active and non-active outfits. Promising review:"LOVE. It is super comfortable to wear and is great for supporting my chest when I go on a run. Doesn't collect sweat. Very nice and cool material for hotter environments. I have it in so many colors because I love them so much. HIGHLY recommend!" — Cheyenne Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 4. A pair of bell-bottom jeans with a removable belt since you saw Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show and immediately thought... I NEED those jeans. This comfy pair will have you looking at other jean styles (like skinny and straight-leg) and thinking, "They not like us." Promising review: "I love them, they fit perfectly. They are truly high waisted, they hug all the right places and make the bum look like a snack!!! I have a hard time finding pants that are long enough, not with these pants I don't, I can roll the cuff if wearing flats or unrolled with heels. They are my New Favorite pants!!" — Alyssa Get them from Amazon for $36.88+ (available in sizes 2–18 and in 13 colors). 5. Quince's boatneck sweater — it's made from 100% Mongolian Grade A cashmere and it looks good dressed up or dressed down. This sweater is ridiculously soft, and the wider neck allows you to wear it off the shoulder if you're going for the ultimate relaxed look. Quince I have this, and I absolutely love it! It's so soft and probably my favorite sweater in my closet. It's lightweight but not see-through at all. Even after washing it, it feels so soft. It looks great tucked into a pair of jeans paired with a belt! Promising review: "I love everything about this sweater! The fit is great! It feels fitted enough to look stylish, yet loose enough to be comfortable and casual. I feel like I need more of these in other colors." — Harris Get it from Quince for $89.90 (available in sizes XS–XL, in two styles, and in 10 colors). 6. A delightfully soft, well-made cross-wrap long-sleeve top that will make you feel rich in style *and* rich in comfort. Plus, this cute lil' number looks way more expensive than it is. Promising review: "Versatile crop sweater that is perfect for winter to spring transition! Paired with my favorite cropped denim, but plan to also wear with high-waisted shorts this spring. I love that you can wear on or off the shoulder. One of my favorite affordable Amazon brands where you can count on great quality/on-trend product at a great price!" — denasdailydeals Get it from Amazon for $43.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 17 colors). 7. A knit oversize cardigan screaming 🎶 you'll put me on and say I was your favorite 🎶 (iykyk). It's on the thicker side so it'll definitely keep you warm on those colder days and looks great with any bottom you pair with it. Promising review: "This cardigan is incredibly well made and a good weight for the fall and winter. I live in the South, so we don't get super cold weather, but this is a great layering piece for the chilly days. It's perfectly oversized and has held up so well even after washing several times (I hang it to dry)! I'm able to wear this comfortably at my office job without getting too warm, which is a plus. Will be purchasing in more colors!!" — Haleigh Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 24 colors) 8. A pair of ~Dreamlux~ leggings quite similar to the Lululemon Aligns that are almost $100. Thankfully, these are a fraction of the price and still have that same buttery soft, squat-proof material. Amazon Promising review:"Super comfy. I usually don't write reviews, I tried this first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for everyday and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" — Criselle Johnson Get it from Amazon for $29+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 22 styles). 9. And a pair of Spanx faux leather leggings so you can have the extreme comfort of leggings combined with the "edgy" leather look that elevates basically any outfit. These tend to fit small due to the compression, so you may want to size up in these, especially if you're usually between sizes. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga says, "I splurged on these, and I don't know why I waited so long! They're super soft on the inside, edgy on the outside, and just freakin' fabulous. I love pairing them with an oversized sweater for a look that's stylish but still cozy during the winter, and wearing them with a denim jacket and a graphic tee in spring and fall." Promising reviews: "A 40-year-old are amazing. I ordered a size small, and was afraid because they looked soooo small out of the bag, but let me tell you, they [look great]. Sooo in love with these!!!" — Leslie P. "I absolutely love these and I am so glad I added them to my wardrobe. I dress them with a blouse and heels, T-shirt and tennis shoes, or button-up and flat. There's so many possibilities. I love the look and feel. The support is amazing. I'm 42-years-old." — Vera M. Get them from Spanx for $49 (originally $98; available in sizes XS–3X, and petite, regular, and tall lengths). 10. Dr. Scholl's Time Off Sneaker — a TikTok favorite because they're just as stylish as your classic Converses, Nike AF1s, or Vejas... BUT they are actually comfortable and will get you through those days when you go well beyond the 10,000-step goal. Amazon Promising review: "These shoes were amazing for our trip to Spain. I walked 52 miles in these shoes over the course of just six days and my feet didn't hurt at all. I didn't break them in before the trip either and still didn't get any blisters either. They also passed the running test, three times we had to run from one airplane gate to another terminal/gate, and when I say run I don't mean walk quickly, I was sprinting in those airports. They're comfy, easy to walk in, wipe clean easily, and high quality." — Sophie J. Get them from Amazon for $69.96+ (available in sizes 5–13, in wide sizes, and in 25 colors). 11. A pair of fleece-lined skinny jeans if keeping warm is your third top priority right after being comfy and cute. People will think these are just a regular ol' pair of jeans, but little do they know, you're not cold one bit because these are soooo cozy. Promising review:"I hate winter, I hate being cold and I love leggings. These pants have literally been the deciding factor between me leaving the house or staying in. They look exactly like jeans but feel like the warmest fleece-lined leggings ever. I loved them so much I bought another pair in one size smaller because the mediums were slightly too big. The length was perfect though and I have longish legs." — Sasha L. Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–5XL and in 19 washes). And if skinny jeans aren't your style, they also make fleece-lined straight-leg, girlfriend, and boot-cut styles! 12. A pair of drawstring wide-leg linen blend pants that are a stylish alternative to jeans and let the legs breathe! We all wish that pajama pants could be worn 24/7, but these might just be the next best thing. Promising review:"I love these pants! I bought the color Ecru, and they are a perfect light khaki color. Not see-through. Soft. Hits right at the top of my sandals. I washed and dried them normally, and they didn't shrink. Will be ordering other colors." — Allen family Get it from Amazon for $21.10+ (available in sizes XS–6X and 11 styles). 13. A short-sleeve jumpsuit so you can look great *and* feel great no matter the occasion. Reviewers love this jumpsuit for traveling, and if there's anything people want during a long plane ride, it's a comfy outfit that'll still look cute! Promising review: 'Fits this short girl perfectly! I wasn't sure what to expect, being 5'1'. Most things are too long for me. This fit perfectly and is incredibly cute and comfortable. I just wanted something to lounge around the house in, but I think if I wore a cute sweater or jacket, I could wear this to work. I will probably buy another in a lighter color since my life includes a lot of dog hair.' — Stephanie Gottfried Get it from Amazon for $27.35+ (available in sizes S–3X and 32 colors). 14. A shirred going-out top perfect for when you want to go to dinner with your friends right after a long day of work. The boatneck neckline is so in right now, and the sheer fabric at the top adds a touch of detail that you wouldn't get with just a regular black shirt. Plus, it's nice and stretchy! Get it from Eloquii for $29.97 (originally $49.95; available in sizes 14–28). 15. A pair of upscale-looking palazzo pants if you love the flowy feel of your wide-leg pajama pants and sweats but need a more polished look for your in-office work days. They're also a great alternative to jeans if the dress code is more "smart casual" than just casual. Promising review:"These are my favorite pants! They are comfy, cute, professional, fun, and they pair well with SO many things! I can basically wear them for any occasion! I've bought them in three colors, and I easily wear them all once (if not twice) a week!" — Liz Get them from Amazon for $27.97+ (available in sizes XS–2X, long and short sizes, and 28 colors and patterns). 16. A classic little black dress because a staple like the LBD should most definitely be comfy since you're gonna be grabbing it for all kinds of occasions. The high neckline makes this look super sophisticated, but you can still dress it down with some sandals or sneakers. Promising review:"I have yet to wear this out but I tried it on and it is stunning! The material is thick and feels like great quality. I love the neckline and the length of the dress is perfect. Such a cute dress for the holidays or just as a staple black dress to have in your collection. Can't wait to order more things!💗" — Kennedy Get it from Princess Polly for $68 (available in sizes 0–12 and in three other colors). 17. A pair of tailored shorts since your cute corporate style can sometimes bleed into your weekend style, and honestly, you're not mad about it because these are so cute and comfy. They'll look great with a casual plain tee or a patterned bodysuit; up to you! Target Promising review: "I tried these on a whim, and they're a perfect fit. The seams and the pleats lay well and don't stick out or pucker. The inseam length is spot on, not too long or too short. I'm very happy with these for the price. I got navy blue and would love a dark gray pair!" — confused shopper Get them from Target for $25 (available in sizes 0–26 and in six colors). 18. An oh-so-soft fleece loungewear set that reviewers say feels just like Skims but for wayyyy less. Even though you might not *plan* to take a nap in the middle of the day, it might just happen because this is so cozy! This set comes with a top, pants, and a long cardigan! Promising review:"No joke, these are pretty much exactly the same as my Skims lounge set for half the price. The pants graze the tops of my feet even when I wear them high-waisted at my belly button, so I think they're plenty long. The robe is like wearing a blanket, but still looks put together. Anyway, I'm back here to buy a second color because I loved them so much!" — Jenna Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $54.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 23 colors). 19. A bodycon jumpsuit if you love keeping up with the trends, but your wallet... not so much. This looks *and* feels just like the Aritzia Butter jumpsuit but for a fraction of the price! Promising review: "I never leave reviews but this jumpsuit deserves one!! It is an exact alternative for the Aritzia flared jumpsuit. I actually even like this one more than my one from Aritzia!! The length on this is SO much better. I am 5'7 and the Aritzia one just barely goes past my ankles… I am wearing platform sandals with this one and there's still extra length! Also I am 28 weeks pregnant and a small fits my bump, SO stretchy!! Definitely ordering more colors." — Stuart W. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL, 10 colors). 20. A one-shoulder midi dress made from a super stretchy jersey material that you'll be so thankful for after a long day. It's got an asymmetrical neckline and the twisted sleeve makes a simple dress look a little more elevated for a fancy occasion. Get it from H&M for $24.99 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and in four colors). 21. Sam Edelman white ankle boots if you're looking for a boot with a little extra something something. And by that, I mean an extra 2.25 inches and a padded insole for an extremely comfortable shoe you can walk miles in! Amazon Promising review:"I took these boots on a trip to NYC. I walked all day and they did not cause any blisters or extra tiredness. They are comfortable, easy to put on, especially in airport security. They are so trendy and the platform is not tiring at all. They don't claim to be waterproof but it rained a lot and my feet never got wet. I would definitely recommend these. ❤️" — Sandra Get them from Amazon for $32.06+ (available in sizes 5.5–11; also available eight other colors with limited size options). 22. A ribbed square-neck, long-sleeve maxi dress that might just stop Kim K. in her tracks because it looks strikingly similar to the one on the Skims website. This is also super soft and stretchy, so no matter the activity, you'll definitely look cute *and* feel comfy. Promising review: "I'd been looking for a Skims alternative — I have the Skims dress, love it, and wanted it another color. Ordered a size large which is my normal size and it fit perfectly! I'm so very happy with my purchase! Literally half the price of Skims and it's identical! If you've tried the Skims dress, go ahead and order, you won't be disappointed!" — Savvychique Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors). 23. A pair of cross-waisted bike shorts so you can look your best *and* feel your best knowing that you're gonna walk into the gym with these adorable shorts.

Sorel strappy sandals sure to add some fun to your outfit because of the unique scalloped platform soles. You'll be walking for miles, getting compliments left and right, all while enjoying the sweet, sweet comfort of these cool kicks with an EVA footbed. Promising review:"Bought these for my trip to Portugal, for those who have traveled there know what kind of terrain I'm referring to (cobblestones and steep hills)! These sandals did not disappoint and I received compliments from all the ladies who passed me by!" — Jorgina Get them from Amazon for $87.95+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in 11 colors). 25. A spaghetti strap romper that's so easy to slip on, you'll question why you even bother with outfits that require a top, a bottom, accessories, and other components that just complicate getting ready in the morning. Plus, reviewers love the extra-roomy pockets. Amazon Promising review:"I absolutely love this! It is adorable and comfortable. Easy to get into and out of and can be accessorized in many ways. I get many compliments on this and have it in two colors!" — Jason D. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 40 colors). 26.

An oversized cable knit sweater because nothing screams cozy and cute like a cable knit, am I right? Reviewers love this so much that they grabbed several colors in it (and you should, too 😉). Promising review: "I LOVE this sweater. It fits just big enough to be comfortable. It's thick but I don't get hot. It's been put in the dryer more than once and it hasn't shrunk but in fact, it kept its shape and it fits even better. I'm definitely going to buy another one!" — Kym Groceman Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 12 colors). 29.

I can see myself wearing it for date night." — S.A.B Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and nine colors). 30. A colorblock knit top that adds a fun pop of color to your wardrobe without being too over the top for those with a more minimal style. Reviewers love the cap sleeve detail and say it's slightly thick but still super soft. Promising review: "I originally purchased this top as a fun teacher shirt, and I love it! The knit material is not too thick and wearable during the warmer months but keeps me warm inside the cool classroom. The quality feels higher end, but the price is affordable. I recommend this top to anyone looking to add more color to their wardrobe!" — Jordan Wilhelm Get it from Amazon for $19.71+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 15 colors). 31. A silky satin midi skirt because every now and then you've got a somewhat fancy dinner to go to, and your tried and true blue jeans aren't gonna cut it. Now this can be your tried and true for both fancy events AND casual outings. Promising review:"Wow, I honestly had low expectations, but I love this skirt!
