If there's one thing I've realised, it's that everyone loves a good dupe. Not everyone has the cash to drop on the latest designer pieces when their price tags are in the hundreds or thousands, we got other things to cover first. But those styles always linger on our minds, desperate to inch their way into our closets. This is where high street retailers, like Zara, come in handy. And yes, I've written about Zara dupes before and the reason why I'm doing it again is two-fold;
1.) They've got the best ones. 2.) I'm constantly looking at Zara.
So here we are again on Seventeen James looking at Zara Designer Dupes. However this time I'm mixing it up and giving you the dupes for various designers from the high street giant.
Khaite Sweetheart Knit Sweater
Khaite is the brand of the moment; everyone is talking about it, and I've already done so before. So it's no surprise that the demand for their style with a more affordable price tag is high. Zara have literally made the perfect dupe and it's already on my wishlist.
The Classic Balmain Blazer
It could be fair to say that Balmain blazers are the blazers of all blazers - yes, that was a lot. The style of them is classic with a nod to military, shoulder pads and total chic. And whilst there is probably every good colour imaginable available from the French fashion house, one recently caught my eye - a Royal blue. Of course, it's sold out because it's price reduced, however I hopped on Zara last night and checked out the "new in" page and there sat an exact dupe.
Frankie Shop Shoulder Pad Tees
Zara had the full length version of these which are all sold out (and I recently bought all the colours when it dropped in the sale, I cannot tell you how excited I am). However there are slight different and also cropped versions and they are just as perfect. I'm hoping the other classic version comes back soon enough in more colours because Zara definitely do the best dupes. And yes I've spoken about this before.
Bottega Veneta Cassette Bag
Same, same but different; this Zara dupe is pretty similar without being exactly the same. The weave of the leather has more variation and it's got a thinner crossbody strap but it still gives you that Bottega vibe you're after without the major price tag. This will hold you until you are able to splurge on that Bottega like you know you will eventually.
The Row Giselle Turtleneck Sleeveless Sweater
If there's one thing I'll say about The Row is that I love it the pieces, but the prices are *take a deep breath and hand on chest* kinda feeling. I just think they can be a bit too much. I currently love the Giselle sweater, I think it's perfect for Autumn Winter in the years to come and of course Zara have a gorgeous dupe! It's like taking a classic turtleneck sweater and the current sweater vest trend and blending them perfectly.
Gianvito Rossi Calypso Sandals
I have been obsessing over these sandals for so long. I love flat thong sandals, I currently live in a pair from Charles & Keith and I'm dying for a heeled pair for some extra elevation. I love the Gianvito Rossi's and if I could, I'd buy one of each colour. That being said, Zara do have a dupe that also adds the square toe trend into it which is a gorgeous added touch.
So there you have it; just a few Zara dupes for some designer favourites. There's probably more that I've missed, so if you see any good ones let me know in the comments below. And if you enjoyed this post and want me to go looking for dupes anywhere else, let me know! I'd love to do it. What else would you like to see on the blog? Send all your suggestions my way.
