9 Target Brand Dupes That Are Just as Stylish as the Designer Brand

Sticking to a budget doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice fashion. Fashionistas can strut the latest styles this season while working toward their financial goals. 

You just need to know how to find the best deals. These dupes available at Target look like high-end designer pieces, but they cost a fraction of the price.

Target’s mini sleeveless blazer dress by Future Collective costs only $38. It features large buttons and is made from cotton-blend fabrics, both features of the Claridge Blazer Dress by Veronica Beard. However, fashionistas rocking the designer version pay much more, at $498.

Another Future Collective piece, this denim mini dress will only set you back $45 at Target. It includes real side pockets, buttons fully down the front, and features a trend-belted waist. The Elena Belted Denim Midi Dress at Aje looks strikingly similar.

However, you won’t find any pockets with this designer version, and sporting this dressy-casual look with the Elena dress could cost you nearly $300 more, and that’s with the sale price. The designer version normally sells for $475.

Aside from the color, this belted mini skirt by Target’s Future Collective looks nearly identical to the Acler Valleybrook cotton mini skirt available at Saks Fifth Avenue. Both feature real pockets, but the Acler skirt has a price tag of $320, and the Future Collective skirt costs only $34. The most prominent difference, other than the price, is that Target’s version is made from a cotton-rayon blend, whereas Acler’s is 100% cotton.

Target’s A New Day Women’s Eyelet Midi A-line Skirt in white is made from cotton poplin fabric, is fully lined, and has a full elastic waist for all-day comfort. But the best part about this skirt is that it will only cost you $30. This skirt looks extremely similar to the petite organic cotton poplin hand-cut block eyelet skirt by Lafayette 148 New York. However, the Lafayette 148 skirt costs $998. That’s nearly $970 more than Target’s version!

Summer is almost here, and it’s the perfect time to sport those trendy sunglasses. You’ll find these stylish oversized tortoiseshell sunnies at Target for just $17. Your friends might think you splurged for the $348 Prada look-a-like because they look so similar. The main visible difference between the two pairs is the iconic Prada lettering, but who is really going to look that closely?

These chunky brown hoop earrings by A New Day are available at Target for a mere $7.99. They feature a nickel-free finish and post backs. This versatile set can be worn all day and night, whether at work or out on the town.

The brown coloring of these earrings resembles tiger’s eye jewelry, like these Sophie Buhai Donut Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings available at MYTERESA. The sterling pair, however, will cost you much more than the Target brand, with a sale price of $348. The earrings are normally $580.

Who doesn’t love the beach, especially this time of year? This trendy little seashell bracelet is whimsical and reminiscent of sandy shores and crashing waves. And the best part is that Target sells it for $12.99. Designer seashell bracelets that look similar often sell for more than 10 times the price. For example, this Sunset Cove Pearl Charm Bracelet

At Brighton comes with a price tag of $138.

This knit dress, available at Target, is comfortable enough to lounge around or hang out with friends in but stylish enough to wear out on the town. It comes in several sizes and five colors, including pink, white, and black.

It’s almost hard to believe that this trendy dress has a price tag of only $15, especially considering the cost of designer muscle tank dresses. One such dress that shares several similarities is the Featherweight Gather Mini Dress by Beyond Yoga. Beyond Yoga’s version, however, is nearly ten times more than Target’s at $110.

The classic shirtdress is a spring and summer staple. You can rock the short sleeve midi shortdress at the beach, poolside, or getting groceries. Add a belt around the waist to dress it up for going out or at the office. This midi dress by A New Day is available at Target for only $20.

That’s much less than what similar-looking designer dresses go for. The Colbie Maxi Dress by Tuckernuck looks nearly identical but sells for a whopping $148.

Several items available from Target’s private labels look strikingly similar to designer pieces that cost 10 times the price or more. In fact, most of your friends likely won’t even know the difference, but you will, and that’s a good thing.

Shopping smart and saving money on trendy fashions means you’ll keep more money in your wallet and look just as good as the people buying name brands.
