Level with me for a second: in this economy, no one wants to splurge on designer products, especially when you can find some affordable alternatives that look and feel *exactly* the same.

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 3XS–4XL and 46 colors).

Promising review: "Love this belt! Super cute, I get so many compliments on it, and it dresses up any outfit. The quality is great, and it even gets mistaken as a Gucci belt sometimes haha!" —Michaela Winje

Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and four colors).

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 $61.99 (available in women's sizes 0–16 and 23 colors/patterns).

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 26 colors). 

Promising review: "Super easy to use, makes a mean cup of joe, and is nowhere near the price of a Chemex. I use mine on a daily basis and would absolutely recommend this product to any of my coffee-loving friends." —Brad Lemons

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and styles).

The styles include: a cork sleeve version, a black silicone band version, and a double-walled cork sleeve version.

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 women's sizes XXS–XL and four colors).

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 $36.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL and nine colors).

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 four sizes, 19 colors, and in two-packs).

Promising review: "They look so real, and I get a ton of compliments on them. Everyone always thinks my husband surprised me with tulips (my favorite flower), and is shocked to learn these are not real. I have several of them throughout my house, and plan to buy more because they are great!" —Abbey S.

Get them from Amazon for $17.84+(available in many colors and in sets of 12, 20, 28, or 60).

Promising review: "I never leave reviews, but this jumpsuit deserves one!! It is an exact alternative to the Aritzia flared jumpsuit. I actually even like this one more than my one from Aritzia!! The length of 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 $36.99 (available in women's sizes S–XL and nine colors).

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 $45.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–11).

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 women's sizes S–XXL and 25 colors).

I bought a few of the Lululemon ones and after discovering this version...I'm absolutely devastated LOL. 

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 that 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 at the top, which provides medium support and functionality, 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 $24.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 38 colors).

Promising review: "These are amazing soap dispensers. The amber glass is sturdy and strong, and the pump works great. They're easy to fill, and they look so good on your bathroom or kitchen countertop. Highly recommend!" —Emily

I just finally gave in and bought this, and it's my new go-to 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 fits 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. 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 34 colors). 

Promising reviews: "These are super comfy and cute! They remind me of the Hermès sandals! These are my second pair!" —Rocky

"What a great Hermès alternative. Why spend thousands when Steve Madden makes them for much less? And they last longer, too! Great sandal for casual, everyday wear!" —Brooke Price

Get them from Amazon for $69+ (available in women's sizes 5–11, in wide sizes, and in 47 colors/designs).

Each set also includes a label set and a funnel.

Promising review: "I absolutely love the look of these dispensers on my kitchen counter. These dispensers have an expensive feel and look. Added so much class to my countertop and blended perfectly with the current decor and items. The only change I would make is to maybe add an outline showing where the label should be placed on the jar. You really want them to be even and at the same height, but once they are on, they are on. I would still recommend this purchase to anyone! 10 out of 10. Gorgeous! These are stunning, and I am in love." —Kevin

Get a set of two from Amazon for $26.95+ (available in three pump finishes, in a smaller size, and in a set of four).

Some reviewers even 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 a smooth material and lies flat. Will def buy more." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24.97 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 17 colors). 

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 women's sizes 5–12 and 11 colors).

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, a pencil case, two books, a makeup bag, a water bottle, a wallet, lotion, a 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

"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 $35.86+ (available in nine styles). 

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). 

Promising reviews: "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 that the brand name is not on the side (obviously LOL). Love these so much!" —Shelley Cooper

"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). 

Promising review: "These containers look very stylish and expensive! They close tightly and match with different styles of kitchen fittings and dishes. I fell in love 😻 and highly recommend if you like beauty in the kitchen. 😉" —Liudmila

Promising review: "This watering can is so easy to use, and it holds much more water than you would think by the size. I also love the cap that comes on the end of the spout — a great way to avoid spills!! I appreciate the pretty mister that comes with it, too. Both look very nice on the shelf where I house my plants in front of a window." —MC Phillips

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three colors).

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 $19.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 17 colors).

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 it 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 $49.99+ (available in women's sizes S–XL and 28 colors).

Promising review: "Gorgeous bag. The material is so easy to clean, it's beyond sturdy. The zipper pocket inside is great for discreetly storing things. The length is great, it sits perfectly under my arm with a little bit of room still. Overall great purchase." —Mary

Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in six colors). 

Promising review: "The color of these books is actually more vivid and beautiful in person. I’m thrilled with how it looks on the shelf — plus it’s a very good hiding spot. I would 100% recommend these for anyone looking to add color to their home." —elishiva
