1. A full-zip track jacket that reviewers are comparing to the viral Lululemon jacket. It's got thumb holes, it's lightweight, stretchy, and just plain cute. Wear it to yoga, the gym, hiking, while running errands, whatever! You'll look ahhh-mazing wherever you go in it.
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 $23.95 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 11 colors).
2. A set of crop tops — a perfect alternative to the adorable, yet expensive ones. Reviewers are loving how supportive and comfy these tops are and lucky for you you'll get more than one of these. Even though it's a basic it's a baddieeee.
Promising review: "I have seen these all over TikTok as [an alternative to an expensive brand]! I’m so glad I ordered these! I can wear these without a bra and I think they are awesome for the price point. I just wear these as tops I don’t wear these to work out. I’m happy with my purchase and I’ll be ordering more. They are all the hype! Hope this review helped!" —Customer
Get a pack of three for $28.98 (available in sizes XS–2X and in 74 color combos/styles).
3. A ribbed square-neck, long-sleeve maxi dress reviewers are comparing to the popular Skims one. Just as cute but much more affordable; you'll barely be able to tell the two apart. And you'll look like a total snack — a pack of Gushers, if you will, you know, since they're superior.
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!" —JK
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes XS–2X and in nine colors).
4. Or a TikTok-famous maxi dress that's *also* compared to another popular Skims dress and makes a perfect sleeveless option. This dress will hug you tight and have those curves looking smokin' hot. You can't go wrong with a basic maxi bodycon dress.
Promising reviews: "I was so hesitant about ordering this dress. I’m a Skims lover, I swear by them, but I said 'let me just try it.' Y'ALL this dress is everything! So stretchy, feels good on the skin, and gives BAWDYYYYY! I ordered another color" —Alexis
"I loved the dress when I had seen it on TikTok and ordered it with no hesitation without reading any reviews. It stole my heart 😂. I tried it on and it was SNATCHED! I went right back and ordered every color they had. Go get the dress already, it’s for YOU. Thank all of us later. It’s your TIME." —Lulu Gambino
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes 2XS–XL and in 10 colors).
5. A darling faux shearling jacket so you can feel as warm and fuzzy as a teddy bear and as stylish as the super expensive Alo Yoga one.

6. A mini belt bag with an adjustable strap that's super stylish and will hold your things while you go hiking, to concerts, travel, ya know. Also a reviewer-beloved Lululemon belt bag swap! We love a less expensive alternative!
Promising reviews: "I honestly use this product every day and it's so amazing. A great Lululemon alternative! So many pockets, really great color, easy to throw in the wash, easy to adjust the straps, and I really like how it clips in FRONT of you so you don't have to worry about anyone unclipping it from the back. Really great bag and I love it so much." —laura kulish
Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (available in 42 colors).
7. A long-sleeved bodycon jumpsuit that'll be a closet staple this season. It's super cute on its own or paired with a vest or jacket. I personally love these because boom, it's a whole outfit without thinking of what pants or shirt to wear.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this bodysuit! I discovered this brand from my coworker who was wearing this bodysuit in a different color. It looked so good on her I knew I had to give them a try. For reference, I’m a 32DDD with a 23” waist so finding items that fit my body nicely is next to impossible; but THIS?! It was literally perfect — full coverage + support, and not sheer at all! I’m buying this in so many colors, the quality is SO good. I love this more than my Skims!" —Zoe T
Get it from Amazon for $24.19+ (available in sizes S–L and in six colors).
8. A pair of short pull-on boots with memory foam that are super warm. Plus, everyone on TikTok is styling the heck outta these and they look sooo much like Ugg boots.
Promising review: "Perfect Ugg ultra mini alternative. They were just what I was hoping for and I cannot wait to buy more! I wore the crap out of them last winter and they look a little rough but I am a mom of two young kids and just love how convenient they are to slip on with whatever and go! Also they are warm and comfy!! Very happy with them. —Taylor Brown
Get them from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes 5–12 and in 10 colors).
9. A quilted zip-up jacket reviewers are praising as a cheaper alternative to the super popular name-brand one. Best part is you get the look without breaking the bank and we always LOVE that!
See it in action on TikTok here.
Reviewers mention that it's oversized, so size down if you want a closer fit.
Promising review: "This is a literal cheaper alternative to the name-brand jacket that’s $200. The material is amazing. It is thicker and heavier than I expected, but I totally love that! I loved it so much I bought it in three colors! The dark gray, brown, and the dusty pink. The online pictures don’t do justice for the colors. They are much more vibrant in person! The fit is oversized and perfect!!" —Ashley M
Get it from Forever 21 for $45 (originally $64.99; available in sizes XS–XL and in 10 colors).
10. An expensive-looking faux-leather belt to throw on and rock with your jeans. It's the little things that make the outfit and this little thing will make a big difference for a small price.
Promising review: "These are awesome! They are good quality, function just as a belt should, and oh my gosh, they are so cute! I originally purchased one for my daughter — she gets compliments on it all the time and it is constantly mistaken for a Gucci belt. I have since ordered one in another color for her and one for me. Very happy customer!" —Glacier girl
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in sizes XS–XL, in multipacks, and in 10 colors).
11. A comfy ribbed bra and short set you'll fall in love with as quickly as Disney princesses fall in love with princes. Perfect to work out in or to wear out and about while staying comfy and stylish.
Promising review: "Literally SHOCKED at how good this is — my friends guessed Aritzia, Zara, Skims, etc. when I asked them where they thought it was from when I wore it. The set is super thick and good quality. Fits like a glove, true medium. Legit shocked." —Allison K. Batinelli
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–L and in 30 colors).
12. Or a so cute workout set that'll double as your *throw on and run errands* 'fit. Reviewers ~also~ say it's similar to the Skims set BUT without that Skims price so you don't have to break the bank.
Psssstt! Reviewers recommend sizing down.
Promising review: "BUY IT NOW!! I purchased this a couple of months ago and I absolutely love it. It’s a perfect fit, stretches, and is super comfortable. I usually wear it as an airport outfit or to work out and it’s amazing. People are also always confusing it for Skims so if that’s what you're looking for, just buy!! I will definitely be purchasing more." —Maya Memere
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available with shorts or leggings, in sizes S–2X, and in 28 colors).
13. A pair of comfy flared high-waisted crossover leggings with slits at the ankles to add a not-so-average touch to your everyday leggings. The perfect lounge-y look and feel while also looking like the fashionista you are.
Promising review: "Great Aerie alternative. Love these! Wish they did not go viral on TikTok, as they are now hard to find." —Jamie Zins
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–2X and in 12 colors).
14. A stunning mixed print puff-sleeve dress because I heard you wanted something jaw-droppingly beautiful for a low low price and this bb serves up both. Plus, this can seriously pass for the Rixo version — you know, the one that's over $400. This dress is literally a itsy bitsy fraction of that cost!
Get it from Asos for $51 (available in sizes 16–30).
15. A popular half-zip pullover, which is so cute, I totally get the hype. Simple, oversized, cozy-looking, and stylish — a winner.
Promising review: "This sweatshirt is billed as a brand-name alternative and I'll tell you, I don't own the name brand one, but this sweatshirt is the real deal awesome. I wore it one day and immediately ordered a second color. Soft, thick, and warm, I'm very pleased." —RhondaK
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes S–2X and in 27 colors).
16. A rose gold Fossil watch because you want a blinged out watch but the price of the Michael Kors one has made you go *ehh, I don't want a watch THAT bad*. This beauty is under $100 with all the glamorous detail you could ask for from the crystal bezel to the stainless-steel bracelet. Chef's kiss.
It's also water-resistant up to 330 feet so it's safe for bathing, swimming, or snorkeling!
Promising review: "I was going to get the Michael Kors rose gold watch, but decided to go with this one due to the great price and my familiarity with Fossil watches and how great they're made. I was not disappointed. The crystal dial is just enough to make it look really expensive and add a touch of bling! I totally recommend it." —Tina Beanie
Get it from Amazon for $80.
17. Oversized square sunnies with polarized lenses with UV 400 protection so you can give designer looks while avoiding designer prices. Elevate your ~lewk~ without elevating your credit card balance too much.
Promising review: "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
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 13 lens colors).
18. A pair of faux-leather leggings that are also fleece-lined, so a total winter win. You'll look soooo cute and feel soooo warm all at once.
Promising reviews: "Love these leggings, can't say enough good things about them. They look great and have a soft, fleece-like lining on the inside. Definitely will keep you warm on chilly days. Got these as an alternative to the leather Spanx that are over $100 and these exceeded my expectations." —Ashley monaghan
Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–4XL and in four colors).
19. A pair of earmuffs to keep your ears warm and stay cute while ya do it. These are perfect if looking like a Bratz ski resort doll was at the top of your to do list this fall and winter. Plus, they soooo look like the Ugg ones!
Okay so my entire style is basically based off of Bratz dolls and 8-year-old me would have loved that. These earmuffs are a literal perfect match for my style. I just bought these and as much as I'm not looking forward to cold weather, I am looking forward to busting these babies out. Oh, the outfits I have planned. If I'm gonna freeze my butt off imma look cute doing it and these cuties will contribute to the serve. Now I need them in more colors.
Promising review: "Extremely cute and comfortable earmuffs! Love it! The size is perfect to cover the ear but not too big that they look oversized. The material is very soft. I almost spent nearly $70 on a pair of Ugg earmuffs. Glad I found these instead for a wayyyy more affordable price!" —Knockiie
Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes and eight colors).
20. Some chunky Circus by Sam Edelman ankle boots with a thick lug sole that'll make everyone think you have Prada money even though you only paid $55 dollars for these babies (that'll be our little secret). Remember when Chanel from The Cheetah Girls said she wears Prada or nada? I'm sure once she compares the prices between the two she'll change her mind.
Promising review: "I'm so happy I bought these! They are an excellent alternative to spending $1,200 on the Prada Chelsea boots. They look basically identical and are ridiculously comfy. Sure you can get other Chelsea-style boots for like $35–$45 but they are usually super uncomfortable, these just feel so nice. They don't pinch or and my foot doesn't slip around inside them. This is my best shoe purchase on Amazon, I'm just so impressed." —Azure Look
Get them from Amazon for $54.87+ (available in sizes 5–13 and in 22 colors/styles).
21. A pair of buttery soft high-waisted leggings so good, you'll surely want more than one pair. If you're obsessed with Lululemon but your wallet yells "please stop!" every time you pull your credit card out to buy their leggings, you'll thank your lucky stars that you found these nearly identical little babies.
Promising reviews: "AMAZING. I bought these to test against my Lululemon leggings ($100+) and I think I love these more. I wish there were more sizes in stock right now but its a fad on TikTok so I understand and will be patient to buy more. 😇" —Reina
"Currently 20 weeks pregnant and these are all I wear, I basically live in these leggings. They’re so stretchy and comfy, definitely recommend for pregnancy!" —Alba siviero
Get them from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL, with 25" or 28" inseam, and in 30 colors/patterns).
22. A pair of faux-leather straight-leg pants reviewers are comparing to the popular Abercrombie version. They're *also* loving the stretch these have, making them comfortable to wear all day. Plus, they just look soooo trendy.
Check out a TikTok of the pants in action.
Promising reviews: "I love leather pants and I have been looking for a new pair for a while. The perfect fit in leather pants is hard to find but these fit me perfectly. They are really cute and comfortable! I got my normal size, they are also stretchy so don't worry about sizing up." —Jamie Brune
"Literally an exact alternative for the Abercrombie leather pants." —Gabi B.
Get them from Amazon for $51.99+ (available in sizes 2XS–4X and in 23 colors).
23. A simple tennis bracelet, which will have everyone thinking you spent some serious coin on a Swarovski one. It's jaw-droppingly gorgeous and the price?! Wooo! Luxury for the low is always a win.
Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It’s 100% a Swarovski alternative for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters
Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in two styles, a two-pack, and in three colors and sizes).
24. A longline sports bra with padding that's a Lululemon tank swap! Cute to wear to the gym but also would totally look great with jeans or pants.
Promising review: "I am SO incredibly impressed with the quality of this. The quality of the fabric can be compared to Lululemon and other high-quality brands. I’ve worn it as a tank with and without a sports bra underneath and it truly can be worn without and still provides great support. This is the perfect tank to wear in workouts or as athleisure when running errands or hanging out. Super cute. Fits true to size." —JBrewer
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and in 25 colors).
25. A pair of hoop earrings that come in four different sizes and three colors so you can grab yourself the *perfect pair* to complement your outfit. Or grab 'em all; options are always lovely.
Promising review: "Jennifer Fisher alternative. I've been wearing these earrings nonstop since receiving them. They're incredibly lightweight, I always forget that I'm wearing them. I prefer these over my nicer Madewell hoops." —KFam
Get them from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in four sizes, three colors, two styles, and in a two-pack).
26. A pair of platform ankle boots with a stretch knit around the ankle so you can easily slip them off. Since all your other boots are black, grab a pair of these and get to styling some super cute 'fits!
These *also do* come in black!
Promising review: "I’m obsessed with these! They are my go-to boot! So similar to the Steve Madden boot that is double, if not triple the price. Compliments all the time! Shipping on non-Prime did take a bit but it was worth the wait!" —Morgan Leigh
Get them from Amazon for $48.98 (available in sizes 5–11 and in 19 colors).
27. A velour tracksuit that'll look like the expensive name-brand ones just without the ~needing to spend all your coins~ part. If you only run errands in style, this is so for you!
Reviewers recommend sizing up!
Promising reviews: "I absolutely love this set, it makes my butt look amazing and it’s so cute. It looks just like the Y2K Juicy Couture sets. It does run a little small though, so I recommend sizing up." —M
Get it from Amazon for $30.26+ (available in sizes S–3X and in 22 colors).
28. A stunning sleeveless maxi dress with the *cutest* open back. Uhmmm, these review photos?! Literally everyone looks soooo gorg in this! Instagram is definitely gonna know this dress cuz of all the pics you'll wanna take in it. Best of all? Reviewers are comparing it to similar dresses from other brands that are $100+!
Promising review: "I have been wanting this same dress but it was $118. I was leery about this considering it was much cheaper in cost but it is PERFECT! Great length too. Keep in mind you can't wear a bra with it and if you are larger-busted (I'm small, an A cup) then it may fit totally different. It's thin and lightweight but with skin-colored undies, I had no problem with lines or visibility. I'm considering buying it in another color. 😍" —Bullitt02797
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 27 colors).
