One Outfit, Two Budgets

Same style idea, two different price points.

A great outfit isn’t about how much you spend, it’s about how you put it together. We’re breaking down a look we love and recreating it two ways: an investment version with higher-end pieces and a more affordable version that delivers the same overall look. Pick a lane, or mix and match from both.

Option 1 (invest)

If you haven’t heard of Imogene + Willie we’re honored to be the ones to introduce you. They’re a brand from Nashville known for their incredible denim (you should definitely check them out). We’re loving this Imogene + Willie brown and white striped tank with Nili Lotan’s Megan Pant or these TOTEME white trousers as the base for the outfit. Tory Burch has a collection of beautifully made, classic belts right now. This one is perfect for the outfit. We’d opt for these delicious chocolate suede sandals from Anonymous Copenhagen and this pave charm layered necklace that’s on sale! And the piece that steals the show: this stunning 18K gold cuff from KHAITE.

Option 2 (more affordable)

We’re going with linen pants for this version. Madewell’s relaxed straight pants are a classic, on sale, and you’ll wear them again next season. Add this tank that you can wear for the next couple months when it’s still warm but want to move into fall colors (and the texture is more sweater-like). We found this great belt from Quince, and these sandals under $100. And finally, this dainty coin necklace and gold cuff finish off the outfit.
