Welcome to the best designer lookalikes, a monthly round-up of affordable high-street staples that channel high-end style for less. As we turn into the latter part of the year, cosy winter coats and structured boots become our mainstay, but who says you can't add a little bit of luxury to your cold-weather attire?
Dropping temperatures signal that it's time for a wardrobe reset, so I'm looking for versatile staples that work for chilly office commutes, that can be thrown together easily for last-minute evenings out and that feel a little bit luxurious. And although I'd love to shop straight off the autumn/winter fashion 2025 runways, in reality, I'm shopping on a high-street budget.
Here are some standout high-street pieces that look designer, including a luxurious faux shearling coat, a bold tomato red jumper, and a glamorous brown leather skirt, all of which capture a high-end feel with more affordable price tags.

It is worth considering that when buying from a high-end label, it’s not just the design you're paying for; often, the higher prices reflect the level of craftsmanship and fabric quality that go into making the pieces.
COS Leather Trimmed Shearling Coat lookalike
The winter coat trends of 2025 are favouring cosy fur textures, and nothing quite captures this trend like a longline shearling-lined coat. COS's leather-trimmed piece feels high-end and effortlessly chic, but if you're not willing to splurge £1000, there is an incredible lookalike from F&F that will save you a huge amount without compromising on style.
This shearling coat will become a key player in your wardrobe for winters to come. It's made from plush, quality shearling, which makes it naturally insulating. The black leather binding adds a refined finish to this cosy coat.
F&F are delivering some fabulous cold-weather staples this season, and this faux coat confirms exactly this. It features the same longline silhouette, black piping detail and cosy cream colour as COS's version, all for a lot less.
COS Cashmere Crew-Neck Jumper Red
The COS cashmere crew neck jumper offers the ultimate way to embrace this season's love of bold tomato red hues. A crewneck jumper is an ideal base layer underneath coats or blazers, and opting for vibrant hues will make you stand out. M&S has a fantastic crew-neck jumper in the same bold tone for only £20. Wear this underneath your blazer and jeans outfits.
If you're looking to invest in one of the best jumpers, opting for cashmere is a wise choice due to its naturally insulating properties; it's also luxuriously soft. This jumper features a saturated red tone that's ideal for pairing with dark autumn neutrals.
This jumper is made from a breathable wool-blend, making it a comfortable and cosy choice. It's designed in a regular fit with a timeless crew neckline. Wear tucked into laid-back denim, or a leather maxi skirt and heels. For only £20, you simply can't go wrong.
ME+EM Panelled Maxi Skirt Soft Leather
A leather skirt is a failsafe staple during the cooler season, and ME+EM's brown leather maxi-skirt in dark chocolate brown is the epitome of understated luxury. Chocolate brown tones are still being favoured this season, bringing depth and sophistication to cold-weather dressing. For a more affordable brown leather-look skirt, M&S has a panelled skirt that's selling out fast.
This leather brown skirt features a stunning architectural design with it's pleated panelled and A-line silhouette. You pay a premium for the material, and this skirt is made from 100% lambs leather. Style with chunky knitwear, and heeled boots.
Offering an almost identical silhouette and dark brown hue, this leather-look skirt could easily be mistaken for ME+EM's design. The panelled seams form elegant pleats that will move with each step you take. It's key to note it's made from faux-leather.
Tony Bianco's Estelle Ankle Boots
The autumn/winter shoe trends 2025 are all about sleek, structured silhouettes, and Tony Bianco's Estelle boots embody that perfectly. With their sculptural shape, kitten heel and black leather finish, they are the type of boot that works with every look, from date night outfits to office attire. H&M has a remarkably similar pair, delivering the same elegant feel for a fraction of the cost.
Black leather heeled ankle boots are a cool-weather styling essential. Tony Bianco's boots feature sharp pointed toes, a kitten heel and an easy-to-wear ankle height silhouette.
Made from a smooth faux-leather and featuring a sleek, pointed toe silhouette, these boots feel effortlessly high-end. Their elegant design makes them a go-to for any outfit, from everyday denim to tailored skirts or trousers.
Prada Bonnie Bag Brown Suede Lookalike
The autumn/winter handbag trends 2025 are embracing textural suede, and Prada's Bonnie Bag has to be amongst one of the top coveted styles. With its structured rectangular shape and long handles, it channels a refined yet elegant aesthetic. If you're favouring the Prada Bonnie Bag style, but are shopping on a high-street budget, M&S have the chicest brown suedette lookalike for a fraction of the price.
Coming in a dark cocoa brown, and featuring strap detailing, the Prada Bonnie bag is an extremely sophisticated design. Prada is home to some of the best designer handbags, so you simply can't go wrong if you're looking for a quality investment piece.
In a dark brown hue with a roomy rectangular shape, this shoulder bag combines practicality with style. It's made from a soft suedette and features a long handle-top design that mimics Prada's Bonnie bag perfectly.
Anine Bing Knot Earrings
Knotted earrings are everywhere at the moment, and the Anine Bing Knot Earrings are simply some of the most polished around. Their twisted design adds a touch of understated glamour to everyday attire. What's even better, is that Boden offers a strikingly similar lookalike pair with the same knot silhouette and golden finish.
These vintage-inspired statement earrings are made from 14k gold-plated brass and feature a triple knot design that gives them a luxe finish. They are finished with classic butterfly backs and feature subtle engraving with the Anine Bing logo

From a sleek brown leather jacket from Mango that captures the look and feel of ME+EM's Patch Pocket Leather Jacket to a stylish Miu Miu Nappa bag dupe, take a look at the designer lookalikes I found last September below.
ME+EM Patch Pocket Leather Jacket
Both dark chocolate and soft mocha mousse are key players in the autumn/winter fashion colour trends 2025, so naturally, I've had my eye on this ME+EM chocolate leather jacket. The boxy fit and long sleeves offer the perfect transitional silhouette, ideal for wearing on days when the weather can't make up its mind.
With a price tag that makes it more of an investment piece – £650 –Mango's £79.99 alternative is a fantastic find. Layer over lightweight knitwear, smart poplin shirts, or simply your favourite t-shirt.
This cropped leather jacket is made from 100% lambs' leather. It features a smart boxy silhouette that's ideal for the transitional months and chic front patch pockets. The more fitted style makes it a great wardrobe addition if you're looking for how to style wide-leg jeans.
Offering a similar boxy silhouette and a rich chocolate brown tone, this leather-effect jacket is a striking match for the ME+EM jacket. Not only does it match in tone and silhouette, but the front pocket patches further add to their shared similarities. One key difference is the material; this style is made from faux leather over the real thing.
Citizens of Humanity Miro Barrel-leg Jeans
Whether you're new to the barrel leg jean style or simply want to try a pair out for the first time, this denim trend is taking the fashion world by storm. Dark indigo denim barrel leg jeans are a cornerstone in effortless dressing; their sculptural volume feels architectural and high-end, and paired with cropped jackets or smart shirts, they can easily work as part of a smart-casual outfit idea.
Home to some of the best barrel-leg jeans is the LA-based brand Citizens of Humanity; however, with prices well into the hundreds, I've found an affordable high-street alternative that captures the same look as their most coveted style.
The 'Miro' jeans have a relaxed barrel shape that makes them ideal for effortless daytime styling. They're cut from dark-blue denim, and they are made from low-impact materials because of Citizens of Humanity's commitment to sustainability.
With a sculptural barrel leg silhouette and featuring a dark wash denim, these jeans offer the same high-end feel for a high street price. Wear these with your best white trainers or style with leather ankle boots. If you prefer an alternative shade, there are over seventeen to choose from.
Citizens of Humanity Kayla Striped Cotton-Poplin Shirt
Button-front shirts are the backbone of any good wardrobe, easy to style with laid-back denim or underneath your best trouser suit, so having a selection of them handy is a must. If you're looking to update your current work rotation or want to liven up your everyday attire, warm brown or earthy tone striped shirts are an on-trend alternative to classic blue or white.
Whilst there are more high-end shirts to choose from, there are also a plethora of high-street options, such as this brown and white stripe Mango shirt.
Well-loved for its relaxed and easy-to-style cut, this striped shirt is a handy go-to for adding an elevated feel to your everyday attire. Citizens of Humanity's 'Kayla' shirt is often updated in different fabrics and finishes. This one is cut from striped cotton-poplin and has a slightly relaxed fit.
With a brown striped design and a smart button-up design, this shirt will transition seamlessly from smart work occasions to weekend outings. It features a sleek shirt collar, long sleeves, and buttoned cuffs. The Vicose blend material will provide a soft, breathable finish.
Adidas Samba OG Leopard-Print Leather Low-Top Trainers
Exotic animal prints, from leopard print to snake, are perfectly in line with the autumn shoe trends. In comparison to your best white trainers, snakeskin styles will add a playful touch to otherwise monochrome outfits. The Dries Van Noten trainers are an enduring investment piece; however, if you're looking for an affordable way to inject personality into your wardrobe, the H&M alternatives work just as well.
This season, snakeskin footwear is being well-favoured by fashion people. These all-over snakeskin embossed effect trainers will add a unique finishing touch to your autumnal outfits, from dark denim jeans to neutral tailored separates.
If you simply enjoy exotic prints but are shopping on a budget, these H&M trainers will serve just as well as the Dries Van Noten style. With cool snakeskin print and an almond toe finish, they capture the same playful design without the investment price point.
Miu Miu Aventure Leather Medium Handbag
If you're looking to invest in one of the best designer handbags, the Miu Miu Aventure leather handbag is certainly one to consider. This iconic style has been recovered from the Miu Miu archives and reinterpreted. It's made from a quality, supple leather that creates its slouchy finish.
In a distressed coffee colour, this tote bag captures everything we love about rich autumnal colours. The square silhouette, front belt, and soft leather-look mimic the coveted Miu Miu Aventure, making it one of the best designer lookalikes to get your hands on this season.

Cartier Panthère 18ct Gold Watch Lookalike
A Cartier watch is something people dream of purchasing; with its excellent design and quality craftsmanship, it's no wonder this brand is so desirable. However, with a high price point, lookalike styles are often more obtainable. So we’ve found an identical lookalike with an exceptional price to shop.
This investment piece features a squared dial, stylised lettering, a beautiful sapphire crown and a two-tone 18ct yellow-gold and steel finish.
If you want the Cartier look without the high price tag this sleek watch is an excellent find. It features the same octagonal shape and silver and gold colouring.
If, like me, you have a taste for designer fashion but a budget that doesn't always match, there's no shame in seeking out the look for less. The high street is full of hidden gems that have the same high-end aesthetic, the key is knowing what to look for. Quality fabrics, similar silhouettes, and unique colours and prints are small, subtle details that make a piece feel more expensive than it is.
