37 Things You'll Love If You're Bougie At Heart

Buzz Feed20-05-2025

Slingback heels because they've got the same quiet luxury style Chanel has, but without the high-end designer price tag. These beauties are versatile and elegant, and reviewers say they're extremely comfortable, too!
An elegant set of square wineglasses perfect as you ~wine~ down the day with a glass of rosé during a gorgeous sunset or casually sip on a fancy mocktail.
An affordable stainless steel face roller and gua sha set (which can range as high as $250!) — magnificent beauty tools that can help reduce puffiness, reduce inflammation, and define jawlines and cheekbones. And because they're designed with stainless steel vs the classic jade stone, they're able to get *much* colder for a more soothing cooling effect! A little spa sesh for under $100? Sign. Me. Up!
A striped matching set with a certain kind of vibe you'd find in a certain, boho-style store that would easily sell something this cute for double the price. Reviewers say that both the top and the shorts are lightweight and breathable, so don't let the long sleeves deter you. This is the luxe (-looking) loungewear you were meant to stroll around town in!
A set of luxe extra-soft bed sheets reviewers compare to high-quality hotel sheets! These are perfect for hot sleepers because they maintain their cool *and* their quality over time. They also come in a TON of colors, so don't be afraid to get more than one set!
And a Kitsch 100% satin pillowcase to ensure your hair and skin protection continues while you're sleeping! With satin, there's less friction, which means no more tangled hair (thank goodness!), and the cooling effect can help you sleep soundly.
A flirty corset lace-up sundress giving major Bridgerton vibes if you ask me... minus the custom-made price. In this era, you don't need to be royalty to have a stunning, great-quality dress! Plus, it looks extremely similar to the House of CB version that costs over $200 👀.
An ultra-soft faux-fur rug to make any room a tad more sophisticated. BTW, if you put it by your bed, your feet will be super cozy when you step out.
The cult- (and BuzzFeed editor-) favorite Essence Lash Princess mascara for long lashes without the price of extensions or false strips. The trick is the wand's conic-shaped fiber brush that's designed to separate, sculpt, and lengthen your lashes *without* clumping. This bestseller has clearly earned the 215,000+ 5-star ratings!
And since we're saving money and *not* making beauty appointments, some Vafee Lip-Plumping Gloss to give your lips the look of a plumper pout and the feel of all-day hydration. It's collagen and vitamin E-rich formula has reviewers obsessed with their *very* visible results!
A layered necklace set that makes it easy to add some oomph to your 'fit. These gorgeous chains are separate, too, so you can wear them individually and adjust them as much as you'd like! Reviewers are obsessed with how great the quality is at such a low price point.
An elevated laptop tote bag perfect for my 9-5 fashionistas, but great for my coffee shop dwellers, too. Either way, you *will* be stopped and complimented on this bag! This beaut has tons of room for not only your laptop, but also your makeup bag, books, and daily essentials. Some reviewers even compare this to (and favor it over) the Béis Work Tote that sells for $128!
A roll of marble contact paper you can use literally everywhere! Not kidding; this looks good on nightstands, countertops, picture frames, bar carts — the list is never-ending. This renter-friendly peel-and-stick paper will turn any drab thing into something that looks like you paid hundreds (maybe thousands!) for it.
And some thick velvet slipcovers so you don't have to spend big bucks on a brand-new couch. It'll look like you did just that by the time you're done! And to ensure they stay in place, these covers have nonslip straps, too.
A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses with stunning gold detail that makes 'em look pretty dang similar to those $400 Miu Miu shades you've been seeing your favorite celebs rocking lately. This timeless shape oozes "extravagance and wealth, dawling" and they have UV 400 protection on top of it all!? They're clearly a wardrobe essential at this point.
And a pearl sunglasses chain to stylishly keep your sunnies or eyeglasses within reach. Convenient *and* fancy? I'm in!
A cut crystal–style cocktail shaker you'll want to pull out and show off any chance you get. It's heavy, durable, and GORE-GOUS in person according to reviewers.
A versatile floral mesh top with a mock neck and long sleeves, making it *perfect* for springtime layering! Wear this beauty under your favorite dress or on top of a basic spaghetti strap tank, and you'll be bound to have heads turning and people asking, "Where did you get that top!?" Many reviewers even compare it to a much pricier brand that shall not be named 👀.
Battery-powered picture lights because 1. they'll make your home feel like an art gallery, and 2. absolutely no wiring is needed! If you want to stand and stare at the photo of your cat like you're at the MOMA, you now have the perfect lighting to do so.
Cult-favorite Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drop — a must, simply because spending $40 on Dior's lip oil when reviewers say that this works just as great (if not better) would be preposterous. This lip oil hydrates and shines like you've spent the big bucks *and* works great as a lipstick topper, too!
Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume — it's inspired by YSL's Black Opium! It features similar warm notes like Jasmine, coffee, and, of course, vanilla. With sweet hints of mandarin and pink peppercorn, too. Dossier's version is long-lasting (up to eight hours!) and has elegant packaging that's worthy of display. But you know what it doesn't have? A $100 price tag.
A glamorous set of feather-trim pajamas reviewers say are ridiculously comfortable and oh-so chic. I mean... just look at that top! You might need to plan a pajama party just to show it off.
A draped, off-the-shoulder midi dress that'll have you strutting and posing like a high-fashion model. It's the perfect option for any weddings you've got coming up.
A pair of pointed-toe flats because they're breathable, comfortable, machine-washable, and — surprise! — not a pair of Rothy's, the high-end brand that claims all the same at a much higher price point. Rock these as your go-to office shoes *and* wear them as you galavant through Italy singing "This Is What Dreams Are Made Of". The limit truly does not exist.
A beautiful tennis bracelet giving Swarovski kind of sparkle for less than $20! Reviewers are obsessed with this bracelet thanks to the secure clasp and durability from constant wear. If you've been eyeing the real deal, this is the *perfect* way to test the waters!
A pack of scented shower steamers because fully upgrading to a filtered aromatherapy showerhead has a heavy price tag. These will turn your shower into a place of luxurious bliss with scents like citrus, grapefruit, and more energizing aromas.
Or a eucalyptus bundle to hang in your shower for soothing, spa-like energy and a fancy hotel-level of relaxation. It'll provide a delightful smell while you spend your everything-shower dreaming of white sand beaches and champagne in first class.
A faux leather belt because Gucci isn't the only one who can rock this buckle style. This beauty costs less than a designer keychain and will get ten times the use.
A pair of stylish teardrop earrings for anyone who wants the luxe look of Bottega Veneta without spending tons (and I mean TONS) of $$$. These gorgeous earrings will make just as big of a statement — just take a look at the nearly 3,000 5-star reviews!
A shabby chic ruched comforter set truly fit for royalty (aka you). The set comes complete with two matching pillowcases — each made of ultra-soft and fluffy material and giving a luxurious look you wouldn't expect to come from Amazon.
A silky satin midi skirt featuring an elastic waistband, so there are absolutely no worries about comfort or fit. Rooftop photoshoot season is upon us, and now you have the *perfect* skirt for the occasion.
A glamorous ruched top and pants set because these show-stopping trousers deserve to be seen by all! The set comes in A LOT of different colors and patterns (seriously, there are more than 30 options!) and can be dressed up *or* down, too.
A 10-piece set of rose gold makeup brushes with incredibly soft bristles that'll make for a seamless, airbrushed makeup look. Did you get your makeup professionally done? Nope. But it'll sure look like it! Bonus points for these brushes being gorgeous to look at and comparable to the much pricier Artis brushes.
A pair of sleek motion-sensor cabinet lights that'll be useful when prepping dinner, and also give your kitchen a more elevated look. Who says you can't get that fancy hotel vibe at home?
Chic wide-frame cat eye sunnies so stylish, it kind of doesn't matter what you're wearing below because you'll automatically look like you're heading to a meeting with Anna Wintour with these on. And BTW, these are the *perfect* alternative for a designer pair that's $300+. Major win!
A saddle shoulder bag that's the perfect option for anyone who doesn't want to spend thousands on similar designer versions. It comes with both a short shoulder bag strap and a longer crossbody strap. Reviewers say it's even cuter in person, too!
An affordable bidet from Tushy that will make your bum feel like royalty. You can adjust the water temperature for your preferred clean and reduce toilet paper use along the way.

A pair of beach socks to keep your feet protected from the hot-to-the-touch sand, turf, or rocks when you're attempting to enjoy a nice day on the water.

The bestselling Essence Lash Princess mascara, a long-lasting, flake- and clump-free mascara that adds some serious length to your lashes. Reviewers say it holds up well to sweating and humidity, so it won't melt off your face and leave you with raccoon eyes at your next outdoor function — and not because you were crying over your college roomie's nuptials! A two-pack of dark spot fading bar soap boasting a revitalizing and hydrating blend of retinol, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, turmeric, and vitamins C and E for a hydrating cleanse that can help even skin tone and reduce dark spots on your face, neck, and body if that's something you're looking to do. Say buh-bye to buying swim shorts if your inner thighs bother you (they certainly don't need to, we're pro embracing your dark spots!) — and either way, hello to bikini season! A popular Cupshe two-piece bikini with over 10,000 5-star ratings because it's cute and comfortable! The faux-wrap top is designed with a self-tie closure for easy customization, and the bottoms have a similar lace-up design to make sure it fits like it was created just for you.

A roll of faux ivy, which adds extra privacy to your boring fence, railing or trellis.

A high ponytail running cap that'll keep your hair out of your face and off your neck while you get your workout in — the open crisscross design even boasts two openings for your preferred ponytail placement. Plus, the convenient baseball cap style keeps the sun out of your eyes as you jog through a neighborhood that is *disturbingly* not lined by trees. A heat-resistant steering wheel cover to keep your hands comfortable on those days when you car has just been baking in the driveway or parking lot and the wheel is literally too hot to touch. The faux leather design offers a non-slip grip and protects your wheel from fading and getting too hot or cold because of the elements. A pair of stainless-steel gardening shears that are lightweight and perfect for cutting through thick stems, dead greenery, and gnarled up vines. The extra sharp, wear-resistant blades are designed for precision, so you can trim plants and garden for years to come. A deet-free and spray-less mosquito repellent patio shield — it creates a 15-foot shield around your yard or patio to repel those pesky bloodsuckers from party crashing. And the best part? No citronella smell! A pair of high-waisted quick-dry running shorts because summer is almost here, and with it: HOT WEATHER. Elevate your wardrobe with these lightweight shorts designed with a convenient side pocket and underwear liner so you stay cool and comfortable even when it's 85 degrees and your dog refuses to come inside and enjoy the glorious AC. A standing weed puller with three steel claws to grip weeds *and* roots, so you can pull them out without bending over. If tending to your beloved garden also means becoming painfully aware that you're getting older — cracking knees, sore back, calluses — you're going to fall in love with this must-have tool! And a crack weeder tool made of stainless steel and designed to reach deep into those annoying narrow sidewalk spaces to extract weeds, moss, thistles, and other invasive greenery that you can't get to with your bare hands. This will make your sun-baked Sunday afternoon gardening so much easier, and help relieve some of the stress on your back and knees from pulling weeds yourself! A hands-free bladeless personal fan to wear around your neck and keep you cool as you make your way through your favorite theme park where the temperatures are even higher because of all the heat bouncing off the concrete. 🥵 It features three speeds and 60 outlets to help cool down your neck and face for up to nine hours! Orrr a TSA-friendly, water-resistant Neutrogena SPF 50 sunscreen stick for your face *and* body, so you can stay protected at home or on your spontaneous beach trip to Costa Rica after you saw the unbeatable flight prices while perusing the internet last night. 👀 And an SPF 50 Airy Sunstick Smoothing Bar with a curved design to glide effortlessly over your skin for quick touch-ups throughout the day. This lightweight, protective balm is perfect for wearing underneath your makeup because it delivers a matte finish and zero white cast! A set of lightweight racerback tanks because most places require a shirt even on those ridiculously humid days when the thinnest piece of clothing you own clings to your skin. The oversized arm holes and racerback design mean there's less fabric, so you'll feel cooler when you're sweating like the dickens! An airtight cold-brew maker just perfect for iced coffee fanatics who want to save a couple of dollars and more than a few midday trips braving the summer heat to re-up from the local cafe. This nifty kitchen gadget allows you to become your new favorite barista, whipping up iced coffees, lattes, chai, and more without leaving the comfort of your home. An ice roller to help de-stress your skin and remove puffiness with a few rolls across your cheeks, eyes, and forehead. This innovative tool can be popped in the fridge or freezer, and then it's ready for use! Plus, it can even offer some relief for sinus pain or migraines. Pro-tip: roll it over your favorite sheet mask for a super soothing sensation! A portable 100-inch movie screen, so you can skip using the side of the house for summer movie night. This freestanding screen sets up effortlessly, making it perfect for a late-night showing of your favorite Disney movies — time to get some popcorn! A versatile maxi dress if you're already over having your legs out just because the weather is nice. You'll still look very stylish and even remain a little cooler without having to worry about the sun heating up your entire body while you're out at the neighborhood community festival enjoying a lemon shake up. It even has pockets! An E.l.f. color corrector for camouflaging unfortunate sunburn discoloration or under-eye circles after a long night at cruise karaoke blemishes without caking or creasing your foundation and concealer. There are five different shades for complexion-specific correcting, including a green for concealing redness and a peach for correcting dark spots on medium skin tones. A set of satin pillowcases, which are great for your skin *and* hair because the silky material helps lessen friction, meaning reduced damage to your tresses and salon looks that'll actually last! Plus, it's cooler than your typical polyester or cotton blend, making it perfect for sweaty and hot sleepers. Plus, a set of breathable rayon made from bamboo bed sheets to make it seem less like you're snoozing next to a radiator (whether that's your human or pet companion) thanks to a lightweight, moisture-wicking material. Hot sleepers rejoice! You won't have to wake up in a pool of sweat every night or change your sheets every morning! And a cool-to-the-touch rayon fabric made from bamboo sleep set, which is so breathable and comfortable, you won't have to count sheep to fall comfortably asleep on those extra stuffy nights when your emotional support fan, ceiling fan, and AC just aren't getting that third floor bedroom cool enough. A Windex outdoor glass cleaner because you deserve to admire the view from your windows instead of looking through streaks of bird poop, pollen dust, any lingering winter sludge scum, and bug spatters. This concentrated cleaner is connects to your hose and delivers a streak-free clean, so you don't have to bother with a ladder! Just rinse it off after spraying. A wide-leg linen-blend jumpsuit that'll get you through all the summer functions because it's so versatile. Dress it up with a jean jacket when it's time to head out for dinner on a patio or wear it solo with your favorite wedges for a midday picnic. Ugh, in love! A retro-style cornhole set to elevate your backyard entertainment options during those warm summer nights when the family would rather be outside than stationed in front of the TV. You can choose your own bag colors and enjoy a little friendly competition while the fire is being built for s'mores! A lightweight, full-coverage gel primer featuring an ultra-moisturizing blend of collagen and green tea extracts, which help tighten pores, control excess sebum, and smooth over uneven texture. Even on the hottest of days you won't have to worry about your foundation melting off your face like a Salvador Dalí painting. A plunging V-neck one-piece — it has flirty mesh accents on the top and bodice to add a little *lowers glasses* to your pool day style. And like the reviewer on the left, just throw on some jean shorts if you need to run down the ice cream truck for one of those wonky-eyes Powerpuff Girl bars, LOL. A pair of reusable and waterproof silicone nipple covers that magically disappear your nipples or piercings from being visible though your shirts or dresses with seamless coverage that stays put! You'll be able to wear your favorite strapless or backless outfits without worrying about stubborn bra straps, and if you're a member of the tig 'ol bitty committee — you can even get Nippies that offer lift. An outdoor misting system you can install underneath your pergola, triangle sun shades, or patio umbrella to enjoy a cooling fine mist when the weather really feels like you're boiling alive. All you need is a garden hose to attach it to and then clip it wherever you want, and you'll feel like an expensive organic veggie in the produce aisle on those balmy summer afternoons. Or an adjustable mister — it can bend to your preference for an enjoyable mist that'll cool you off by up to 20 degrees as you lounge about in the sun. As someone without a porch or pool, this ranks highly on my wishlist for me and my outdoor-lovin' pup to enjoy our little city oasis (aka tiny backyard). A pair of breathable bamboo gloves to keep your hands comfortable and protected as you tend to your garden. The bamboo fibers help keep hands cool when it's hot and warm when it's cold, plus the fingertips are reinforced, so you won't get pricked by any thorns! A gas firepit table featuring blue glass to make your bonfire gatherings a lot more cozy and ethereal. It also comes with a covered lid, so you can use it as a dependable table top when the fire isn't going!

35 Alternatives To Pricey Fashion Items In Your Cart

Buttery soft high-waisted leggings, which are deceivingly identical to Lululemon's Align leggings — and reviewers are calling it out! The only difference? These give you all the buttery soft material and comfiness for a mere fraction of the name-brand price. 👀 Slingback heels because they blend comfort and elegance in the most gorgeous way. Their timeless style might just make these one of your most-used pairs — they'll take you from your daily office routine to casual lunch dates to evening drinks. Many reviewers agree that these also give *major* Chanel vibes. Or some breathable pointed-toe flats ready to keep your feet cushioned and decked out in style. They look and feel as high-quality as Rothy's or Vivaia, without having to spend the extra $70–$100. The stretchy knit upper is comfy and trendy-looking (office days just got a whole lot better!) and you can toss 'em in the wash before they even have the *chance* to get stinky. An oh-so-elegant ribbed button-up tank, which is giving the side eye to the similar Abercrombie & Fitch style that's double the price. 👀 You know what that means? You don't have to limit yourself to just one color. And a cherry bag charm so you can stay on-trend without having to shell out $95 for the Coach charm. This'll add a cute lil' pop of color to any plain bag. Plus, you can get one for every single bag you own without breaking the bank. A flirty corset lace-up sundress with a cute slit and a bustier design that's sure to fit you like a glove. It gives major Bridgerton vibes, but the price tag makes it easier than ever to show up looking like the diamond of the season. And it looks extremely similar to the House of CB version (which goes for over $200 👀). A ribbed workout jumpsuit that reviewers claim looks and feels like Skims-level quality, but asks for way less money out of your wallet than Ms. Kim K. It's compressive but breathable, with four-way stretch so you can pull off all your squats with ease (plus it's thick enough that it won't show your undies). And a long-sleeve bodysuit because it's basically saying "Look at me! Look at me!" before you pull the trigger on that Skims bodysuit. The "Smoke Cloud" fabric is buttery smooth and *not* sheer, and the sweetheart neckline will add a little extra charm to your ensemble even if it's being paired with your fave faded jeans. A faux-leather bag that you'll be dying to show off at your next office day. Just let your work nemesis assume it's Polène's Cyme. And send them an unnecessarily long email while you're at it. Some Nortiv 8 walking shoes because they're designed with pillowy comfort and bold color combos that let them disguise themselves as Hokas. Guess this means you get to splurge a little bit more on your *non*-workout 'fits. A Lululemon-inspired tennis skirt with built-in shorts and a secret inner pocket for your phone so you can hold your iced coffee in one hand and gesticulate with your other as you tell your bestie the latest tea in your love life while on your hot girl walk. Also, no need to worry about a strong breeze. A pair of pilot shield sunglasses that'll make you do a double-take because they're verrrry similar to the $699 Bottega Veneta pair you've been stalking online. Seriously, the attention to detail on these will leave you *spooked*. Or a pair of retro-style oval sunglasses — even the snobbiest of sunglasses connoisseurs would *swear* these are the $400+ Miu Miu ones. And who are you to correct anyone that comes to that conclusion? Or!! A pair of oversize square sunnies to throw on for an instant style boost, no matter what you're wearing. The polarized lenses offer UV 400 protection, so not only will you look amazing, but your eyes will also be shielded from those harsh rays. Plus, reviewers say they look just like the $425 square sunglasses from Bottega Veneta! A beautiful tennis bracelet, because a small, twinkly accessory can add an upscale factor to any outfit. And just look at that Swarovski-like sparkle it gives off (no one would ever know that it's actually cubic zirconia). Or, go all out with a set of golden bracelets so you bling your wrist out without wearing your wallet out. Like this reviewer says, "Cartier who?!" A beaded shoulder bag — alright, I'm gonna have to see some ID because there's no way this isn't the $295 one from Staud. Hey, better to get a little splurgey at Anthro with this little beauty and *not* have to completely wipe out your ~treat yourself~ budget. An elevated laptop tote bag so clean-cut and beautiful it might just empower you to strut through that office like the baddie you are (even though you're dreading sorting through those Monday-morning emails). This stylish piece offers spacious compartments for all your essentials (laptop, makeup bag, books, and more) and keeps them organized and within reach. Reviewers even compare this to (and favor it over) the Béis Work Tote that sells for $148! A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that'll have you looking absolutely chic *and* staying comfy at the same time. Reviewers *love* how the material is just as soft as the trendy Skims version... and some even say it's better! A fanny pack people say is veryyy similar to Lululemon's belt bag, which is over double the price! Use it to keep your phone, wallet, headphones, (and maybe even a protein bar to snack on) close to you and easily accessible. Perfect for travel or everyday use! The strap is long enough to wear crossbody or around your waist, which keeps your arms and hands completely free. Plus, it'll surprise you with just how roomy it is. A pair of sandals that many reviewers say are a wonderful alternative to Birkenstocks (there are 1,000+ reviews comparing them). Their cork footbed quickly adjusts to the contour of your foot *and* they're designed with soft lining and adjustable straps. The comfort of a tennis shoe combined with the effortlessness of a sandal? Yes, please. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers because they have a tapered design and a stretchy waistband that'll probably make them one of the most reached-for pieces in your closet. And let's not forget the side pockets! Plus, reviewers have not failed to notice how remarkably similar they are to Lulu's Align joggers. 👀 And a soft, stretchy longline sports bra drawing comparisons to a tank from the same collection, so you could achieve the whole Lulu Align ~look~ for a whole lot less. It's designed with a classic V-neckline, sweat-wicking fabric, and goes with, well, anything! You can also pair it with your fave biker shorts or leggings so you can go straight from your errand-packed morning to your afternoon yoga class. Platform slippers in case you've added the similar Ugg Tazz pair to your cart about a million times but haven't been able to checkout just yet. Once you slip your feet into the faux-fur shoes, you'll find you'll be wearing them so often, they'll basically be an extension of you (yup, even in the heat of summer). A pair of stylish teardrop earrings, which simply ooze Bottega Veneta vibes. Accessorize any 'fit with these beauties for an instant ~chic factor.~ Plus! Reviewers say they're so lightweight and comfortable, some even forgot they had them on. And a highly rated pair of hoop earrings reviewers compare to Jennifer Fisher hoops that go for up to hundreds of dollars and say they don't hurt your ears! Whether you're going to lunch with jeans and a plain tee or to an upscale dinner with a dress, these will be the *perfect* touch to tie your whole fit together. A puff-sleeve dress you can wear on *or* off the shoulder, giving us the versatility we need in our lives. It features darling lil' flowers and has been said by one reviewer to be super similar to the popular Nap Dress! BRB, gonna go get it in every color. A pair of gorgeous, super versatile heeled slip-ons if you want all the *slip on, slip off* ease, but in a classic open-toe design — plus they could pass for the version by It brand Dolce Vita. These babies have a thick heel for stability as well as soft, thick braided straps to keep your feet in place. (Because having them slide all over the place can be so annoying!) A plated ring because reaching for that cup of iced coffee will never feel more bougie than this. And since this one doesn't cost thousands of dollars (chill out, Cartier 😭), you live to see another day of affording that $10 coffee. A faux-pearl choker that Vivienne Westwood herself might have to linger on a moment or two to ensure this isn't actually her Mini Bas Relief pearl choker. This'll tie all those sunny brunch ensembles with a pretty bow! And a pair of Buff Bunny–inspired booty-highlighting biker shorts for anyone who would love to add 48 fun colors and prints to their workout wardrobe without spending $48 on each. That booty (and that wallet) are about to be lookin' thicccc. A pair of absolutely *stunning* sparkly stilettos because it'll make you the belle of the ball. They'll easily become the centerpiece of your outfit, and reviewers rave about how surprisingly comfy they are! This reviewer even compares them to the Christian Louboutin So Kate heels. 👀 A glitzy long-sleeve sequin dress in case you admired the 16Arlington dress Hailey Bieber wore, which goes for $765 (*chokes on my Cup O' Noodles*). This under-$100 version is just begging to make an appearance at your next date night and drop. some. jaws. A pair of elevated, effortlessly chic wide-leg petal sweatpants — if you put these in the same room as the ones from Anthropologie and Free People, it'd be looking like that one Spider-Man meme. Reviewers love how cozy and breathable these are, and that the style is perfect for indoor lounging *and* outdoor errands. A half-zip pullover sweatshirt that serves as the ideal layering piece to take on and off for those airport days. It's light enough to make it easy to travel with but warm enough to keep you from getting cold. It'll also run you far less than Lulu's $118 scuba hoodies.

Read Between the Lines: 5 Ways to Style the Striped Polo

Riffed off, deconstructed, or replicated to a tee, preppy style has provided fashion houses and labels plenty of source material to work off of in recent years, filtering it through their own lens. Last spring, two mainstays of the look, namely boat shoes and pleated skirts, showed up on the Loewe and Miu Miu runways with a twist—super short, in luxe leather, and styled in fresh, irreverent ways. The striped polo, too, has gotten the designer treatment. Most recently, the sporty staple appeared (and reappeared) in Chanel's resort 2026 collection in unexpected pairings that were anything but prim. Vogue's Favorite Striped Polos: Surprisingly, the striped polo is shaping up to be one of the most versatile pieces of the season. Its clean lines and graphic punch make it easy to style in ways that feel fun without veering too preppy. Pair it with minimalist essentials like a sleek maxi skirt and flip-flops for a modern approach, or give it in a more directional tone by contrasting it with sparkling statement pieces (another key summer trend) for a high-low mix that toes the line between playful and elevated. This isn't your dad's striped polo (and even further away from the one you might find in Lisa Birnbach's The Official Preppy Handbook)—it's the kind of evergreen style that can anchor a thoughtfully-layered summer wardrobe. Here's how were interpreting it for the season. Earn Your Stripes A striped polo and striped board shorts work together to create a cool, off-duty summer look. Ballet flats and a straw tote add a prim touch for a balanced finish. Opposites Attract Here, a boxy striped polo contrasts with Tory Burch's mirrored skirt for an irreverent juxtaposition of casual and statement pieces. Fine Lines Miu Miu's oversized striped polo works well with slim capri pants, clean flats, and a subtle statement summer bag.
