So, you’re digging the whole Isabel Marant vibe – the effortless chic, the slightly edgy but still totally wearable stuff – but your bank account is weeping at the mere thought of those price tags. Don’t despair! There ARE alternatives.
I see a lotta people getting hung up on specific pieces, like that crazy-popular Bekett sneaker (remember those?! Boho chic, 90s punk, minimalism… that’s what i am talking about), or those Crisi boots everyone was obsessed with a few years back. And while finding an exact dupe for *everything* Marant does is kinda impossible, especially with their tops, which are like, deceptively simple but always perfectly draped, you can totally capture the essence.
First of all, forget trying to get the *exact* same top. Focus on the *feeling*. What is it about Isabel Marant tops that grabs you? Is it the flowy fabrics? The slightly slouchy fit? The subtle details like embroidery or cool necklines? Once you figure *that* out, you can start hunting.
I’ve seen some decent alternatives at places like H&M – sometimes you strike gold! I saw someone mention an Isabel Marant pour H&M wool coat they snagged for like, 80 quid on eBay! eBay and other second hand markets are a good choice. You just gotta be patient and do some digging.
And don’t underestimate the power of a good accessory! Remember that belt, the Aya Belt? Apparently, it’s a super good dupe for the Isabel Marant staple belt. So, that’s 99$ for an alternative belt, which is a perfect choice.
Okay, so maybe you can’t find the *perfect* Isabel Marant top alternative. But you *can* build a whole look around a similar vibe. Think: linen blouses, oversized sweaters, anything with a slightly bohemian feel. Add some killer boots (maybe some Crisi-lookalikes if you’re feeling ambitious!), a cool belt, and boom! You’re rocking the Isabel Marant spirit without selling a kidney.
