31 Cheap Versions Of Trendy Pieces From Skims, Reformation, And Other Fan-Favorite Fashion Brands You'll Want For Fall#

Even if we're not fully embracing "No-Spend September," this'll save you a few extra $$$ on some fire 'fits.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. A ribbed square-neck, long-sleeve maxi dress that'll quickly become your most worn item this season as it works for any occasion *and* you know you'll look pretty dang good in it. 🔥🔥🔥 Now I know you've seen that expensive Skims version, but some reviewers say that this dress is even better.#

Promising review: "I’d been looking for a Skims [alternative] — I have the Skims dress, love it, and wanted it in 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 sizes XS–XXL and nine colors).

2. A pair of breathable, wide-leg petal sweatpants, giving major Anthropologie vibes and perfect for anyone looking to be effortlessly boho chic this season. Talk about the perfect easy-to-wear pants — from afternoons spent rotting on the couch with soft Lofi beats playing, to mornings spent strolling to your fave coffee shop.#

Promising review: "These are so freaking cute…I have them in several colors and they will be replacing my sweatpants this fall/winter. So much cuter than sweats but just as comfy. Nice and loose, waistband isn’t tight and the length is perfect." —Lidon5

Get it from Amazon for $25.19+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 14 colors). 

3. A cozy Lululemon-inspired mockneck half-zip pullover if you're a fan of adorable matching workout sets, but know you're gonna need a little bit more coverage as the temps start to drop. This pullover will just make your fit that much better! And it's got a large front pocket to keep your sweet little fingers from turning blue this fall. #

Promising review: "I now have two of these fleeces and I am obsessed. The fit and crop is perfect and the fleece is high quality and so so warm and soft. I’ve worn it hiking, paired it with jeans and dressed it up a bit, [and] even work from home in the winter." —Ali

Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in sizes S–XL and eight colors). 

4. A buttery soft layering T-shirt that looks like a Skims top without that big Skims price tag. This basic (and comfortable) shirt is going to become your go to piece this season to pair with some bold patterned pants or bright, cheery sweaters. The options are never-ending.#

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 sizes XXS–3X and in 29 colors).

5. And a Skims-inspired long-sleeve bodysuit — the perfect fall closet staple to wear under that itchy (but adorable) sweater you spent a little too much money on. It's also the perfect top to wear with some jeans to look like a nonchalant baddie out at the bars, while you stay warm. And BTW, reviewers say the double lining in the torso is supportive, so they don't need to wear a bra!#

Promising review: "Are you kidding me? This is the softest, most comfortable body suit I’ve ever owned. I got so many compliments lol; everyone did think they were Skims lol, but it’s definitely worth every penny. I love and will be getting more colors!!! You need it." —Wendy L. 

Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and 13 colors). And check out all the styles available in the Smoke Cloud fabric.

6. Nortiv 8 walking shoes that'll gaslight everyone into thinking you purchased some $$ Hokas. These sneaks have a "cloud-like" insole and a non-slip outsole, so they'll definitely keep your feet comfy and supported while you embrace the crisp, cool air with some outdoor fall walks.#

Promising reviews: "Like a cloud ☁️ These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn; it feels like a pillow hugging your foot. The same day they were delivered, I ordered another pair in a different color. I’m a healthcare worker, and these are perfect for standing and being on your feet a lot. Walking feels very smooth and low-impact. I never leave reviews on anything, but these are amazing." —Ian Durham

"As someone who owns a pair of Hokas, in my opinion, these are better. I have plantar fasciitis and work in a hospital. Believe me when I say this, I HAVE ZERO FOOT PAIN when I'm wearing these! For half the price and comfort, I will 100% recommend these to anyone." —Jennifer Emilien

Get them from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes 6–11 and seven colors).

7. A chic patch pocket "shacket" because it's a way more affordable option to the Sézane Betty Jacket. This top perfectly encapsulates all the best fall vibes — it's the perfect throw on for a bundled-up stroll with a light breeze and the crisp smell of leaves. #

Promising review: "I got the green one from Amazon in attempt to find a more affordable option after getting the rose one from Sezane, and I'm loving it. They are identical looking. Quality is great as well. It is cropped and shorter, but fits well with high rise pants. Will definitely consider getting more colors!" —Fer L 

Get it from Amazon for $42.99 (available in sizes S–XL and seven colors). 

8. A pair of oval style sunglasses with retro flair to give that ~rich~ Chanel Oberlin style and flare without dropping $400 at Miu Miu. These shades boast style and UV400 protection — the best of both worlds. But just because you're giving the iconic Emma Roberts character, doesn't mean you need to order a trenta, no foam, five-shot half-caf pumpkin spice latte with no foam, served at 210 degrees.#

Promising review: "I absolutely love these sunglasses! They suit my face beautifully and elevate any look with their stylish design. The gold details on the sides are such a stunning touch — reminiscent of high-end Miu Miu sunglasses but at a fraction of the cost. They’re lightweight, comfortable, and feel durable. I’ve received so many compliments already." —Arsalan sheikh

Get them from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five styles and packs of two or three).

9. An oversize, lightweight knit button-up cardigan so you can properly embrace your inner Lorelai Gilmore while you bundle up with a cup of coffee and watch the leaves change. And keeping things chic and classy doesn't mean you have to spend more, since this cardigan is a pretty spot-on alternative to the $475 Jenni Kayne "Cocoon" cardigan.#

Promising review: "The sweater is extremely comfortable and high quality, and the color selections were awesome. I chose the cognac color which is kind of a taupe-ish brownish color. Bought it to match some khaki boots, and the match was terrific. The pockets are nice. The sweater is roomy. The sleeves are a good length. The thickness is perfect for warmth without being overly bulky. I really like this sweater and will order more colors." —Alana Mohacsi

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 29 styles). 

10. OR an extremely versatile long open-front cardigan for that chic final layer that will keep people guessing if you're on the way to pick apples or just pick up your kids from school. No reason not to be fabulous all the time! And reviewers said this cardigan is a great alternative to the J. Crew version that's three times this price!#

Promising review: "I received this yesterday. I adore it. I have also ordered it in dark gray. This knit is heavy and very substantial. It looks sleek and European chic with a heft like a St. John coat. This will be perfect with black slacks or even jeans. I am overjoyed by this purchase." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in sizes XS–XXL and 24 styles). 

11. A pair of cheerful, super lightweight boxer-style shorts that closely resemble the $98 version from Reformation. Who doesn't love a little Gingham moment? 🍂 But this might be a pick for our more West Coast or Southern folks who are still fortunate enough to rock shorts year round. #

Promising review: "So comfy and they look just like the photo! The quality is great, they aren't see-through, and I love the bright color! They fit true to size. They are definitely a great value for the money." —Hope

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 22 styles). 

12. A pair of stylish teardrop earrings so you can keep up with all the latest fashion trends, without dropping hundreds of dollars at Bottega Veneta. Even if you're all bundled up in a turtleneck and jeans during this sweater weather, your little ears can pop out and show everyone you've got taste.#

Promising review: "These are AMAZING! I highly recommend them. They look so luxurious and expensive. I've gotten a lot of compliments on them already. 10/10!" —Hayley Ghormley

Get them from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 11 finishes, two-packs, and an XL size). 

13. A longline sports bra to look oh so put together while working out, because looking good is the biggest motivator to get your butt to the gym. Reviewers who have exclusively shopped at Lulu or Athleta before meeting this cheaper alternative swear they're never going back to the expensive brands. This top is soft, stretchy, and lightweight, so you'll never feel confined after sweating it up! And did I mention it has a built-in bra with pads — one less thing to wash on laundry day!#

Promising review: "LOVE. It is super comfortable to wear and is great for supporting my chest when I go on a run. Doesn't collect sweat. Very nice and cool material for hotter environments. I have it in so many colors because I love them so much. HIGHLY recommend!" —Cheyenne

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 36 colors). 

14. An oversize lightweight quilted vest that'll keep your core nice and warm, but let your arms be free to dance in the wind. It's a super cute and affordable option to an expensive mall brand version you might've seen floating around your FYP.#

Promising review: "I love this oversize puffer vest! It is exactly how described. It is oversized for winter comfort. It is puffy with just the right puff. It has become a daily go-to. I enjoy it very much! I will be looking for another color to repurchase again. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for exactly what they have described." —Alyssa Anderson

Get it from Amazon for $35.99 (clip the 10% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in sizes S–XL and 10 styles). 

15. A stylish shoulder bag if you want to ooze that old money aesthetic without paying $$$ Bottega Veneta prices. Who doesn't love an everyday bag that is chic enough to transition to night as well? AND it has an adjustable strap for the days when you're feeling more of a cross-body vibe. #

Promising review: "Love this purse. The design is so cute [and] I like that you can adjust the size of the strap. It fits a good amount in it, including my Kindle, which I love. Has enough pockets and goes with a lot of outfits." —Katie

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in eight styles). 

16. And a cherry bag charm to make sure you both use and love your bags, just like the icons: Jane Birkin and the Olsen twins. If you've seen the $95 Coach charm on TikTok people are adorning their bags with, you're gonna love this $6 option to stay on trend.#

You can see a similar one on TikTok!

Promising review: "I was really debating buying the $95 one but figured I spent enough on the bag, so I decided to just get a replica for the cherry. I’m so glad I did! It looks almost exactly like it, except for the slight change in hardware color. The quality seems great, and it looks sturdy. I love it! It really gives the bag an extra nice touch." —Oriana Pineda

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (also available in gold). 

17. A ridiculously soft oversize hoodie that might convince you to curl up on the couch and watch your favorite fall movie. I can hear Tom Hanks reciting “Don’t you love New York in the fall?” already. Reviews compare this sweatshirt to versions from Skims, Aritzia, and Abercrombie because of how high-quality it feels. #

Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this hoodie. I’ve been looking for a warm, soft hoodie with a big hood for a long time. This quality is excellent and feels more expensive. It is an oversized fit. I usually wear an XL top and sometimes L. The large fit perfectly! I want one in every color now." —LindsayW

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XXS–3XL and 39 colors). 

18. A pair of comfortable clogs, similar to the Birkenstock Bostons, because an easy-to-slip-on shoe that doesn't hurt your feet is an amazing addition to lazy autumn. These bad babies + some fuzzy socks = pure bliss. The insoles of these clogs are lined with memory foam and a soft suede material that molds to your feet — talk about personalized comfort. #

Promising review: "They look just like my real Birkenstock clogs!! The shape, the buckle, the fit: They all make the clog feel legit. They are also super comfy! There is cushioning in the heel that makes them very comfortable to wear. If you are hesitant, just buy them. This is SUCH a bargain considering how expensive real Birks are LOL." —Quinlan Hanrahan

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 6–11, wide sizes, and in 17 colors).

19. An Aerie-inspired rib knit pullover if the real reason you love fall so much is because you can get away with wearing leggings and a sweatshirt every day (I don't blame you). This pullover will add just a bit more style to your fall uniform while the comfy and cozy element remains.#

Amazon

Promising review: "The material is smooth and soft! Up close, the pattern is well-made and looks more expensive than the sweater really is. It’s well made." —Mel

Get it from Amazon for $26.24 (get this price by clipping the 25% off coupon on the product page; available in sizes XS–XXL and 17 styles, including solid, striped, and colorblock). 

20. A sophisticated laptop tote bag for those who want to fully embrace the ~dark academia~ vibes of Dead Poets Society this season with moody poetry, library trips, and candlelight. While you tap into this cultured aesthetic, you won't be breaking the bank picking up the $$ Beis version of this tote. And you'll be delighted to know this bag can fit a laptop up to 15.6 inches, while offering large pockets and adjustable straps!#

Promising review: "It’s much more spacious than it looks. It’s very sleek and stylish. I use it as my work bag and I find that it looks professional and has enough space for all of my stuff. I carry a laptop, pencil case, two books, makeup bag, water bottle, wallet, lotion, phone and laptop charger, and other small miscellaneous objects. Still plenty of space. And when you see carry it, it doesn’t feel bulky or cumbersome. The bag does sag a bit after use. But has held up to wear and tear. I would recommend." —Su

Get it from Amazon for $24.86 (clip the $10 off coupon on the product page for this price; available in 11 styles). 

21. A pair of high-waisted ~Dreamlux~ leggings if you're a fan of Lululemon's Align leggings, but not a fan of how much they cost. Reviewers say these look and feel *so* good, they'll never be buying the Lulu ones again.#

Amazon

Promising reviews: "Super comfy. I usually don’t write reviews, but I tried these first before buying Lulu, and these are the most comfortable leggings for everyday and even for workouts. Highly recommended!" —Criselle Johnson

"My favorite thing about these leggings is that they are high-waisted and do not roll down. You can bend, squat, stretch, and they don’t budge, but are not too tight. They are very comfortable, and they do make a line that has pockets, although these do not. I own many pairs of these and have washed them repeatedly, and they wash up and hold up very nicely. Very affordable for the quality you receive." —Lisa Re

Get them from Amazon for $29 (available in sizes XXS–XXL, two inseams, and 21 styles). 

22. A lightweight versatile faux-wool baseball cap to add that extra *cozy* element to any fit without the prices of Quince and Bloomingdale's. Makes me want a warm cup of cider in between my mittens just looking at it!#

Promising reviews: "This hat is awesome, I love it so much! Love the adorable bow feature as well as the fuzzy look of it. Can dress up or down because of the bow. It has an adjustable closure in the back, so this should be able to fit any head size. I only have good things to say about this hat! I did opt to wash this in a garment bag in cold water, and it held up perfectly. Comes in great packaging that keep it looking sharp upon arrival. I would highly recommend this to a colleague or friend! And you'll stand out in a crowd with the fuzzy material and bow, not many people have this type of ball cap! It's so great!" —Lisa Krause

"This baseball cap is gorgeous. It looks like wool and has a full lining. It has a nice shape and fits nicely on one's head. It is soft and warm to wear on a fall day. The quality is great, in part because the material feels and looks great. It is worth the price." —P&C

Get it from Amazon for $16.19 (clip the 10% off coupon on the product page for this price; available in 16 colors). 

23. A dreamy hooded plush bathrobe (with pockets!) that'll give you an excuse to cuddle up on the couch and stream the All Too Well: The Short Film on repeat while you curse the man who kept Taylor's scarf from that very first week. This ultra soft robe is comparable to the expensive Barefoot Dreams option, so you can stay comfy and warm for wayyyyyy less.#

Amazon

Promising review: "Amazing, I absolutely loved it! Fits perfectly and the length is really good. The material is comfortable, warm, and hasn't faded after being washed. I also like the pattern of this robe. Now it is part of my daily wardrobe." —Ivy

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in eight styles). 

24. A Skims-inspired seamless, compressive ribbed bodycon jumpsuit, because colder weather does not mean your fits shouldn't still ~eat~. This is the perfect base to throw a fuzzy sweater or colorful hoodie over, so everyone knows your fashion sense doesn't leave you on September 1st.#

Promising review: "RUN. Don't walk. I never write reviews but legit as soon as I put this on, I knew I had to share with the world. So surprisingly thick (no fear of [being] see-through) and stretchy. The ribbed texture is fun and gives that extra snatch effect." —bmg

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in sizes S–L and and 10 colors). 

25. A gold-plated cubic zirconia cuff if you're someone who has been dreaming of one day opening a red Cartier box, but you also know that $17,000 Love Bracelet price makes that dream just a little unrealistic. This simple bracelet will give you that ~rich~ vibe without draining your savings. #

Promising review: "This is a product where you can’t say 'you get what you paid for' because it really looks sophisticated. It doesn’t look cheap. I bought this because the Cartier love bracelets are very expensive, and I don’t like doing the screw because I don’t plan to always wear them, since I have a little kid, and sometimes it’s uncomfortable. If you want a Cartier love bracelet [alternative], this is it! Easy to open and close. Very flawless. Why did I just think about this!? Lol." —Shiexil

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three finishes, nine other styles, and five sizes).

26. A compressive Lululemon-esque cropped zip-up workout jacket to add that extra layer of warmth while you get in your last outdoor hot girl walks or marathon training runs before it gets too cold. Anyone who's a fan of thumb holes is gonna love this one!#

Promising review: "Lululemon WHOOOO? Great quality, washed well with my regular laundry. Retained it color and shape**. I wore it for a back day at the gym and it was extremely comfortable/durable,** no issues! I will keep buying these crop jackets. Also, if you have a bigger chest, I suggest you size up!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 14 styles). 

27. A chain purse, closely resembling Gucci's Dionysus bag, to add a bit of edge to your closet this season. And with its eye-catching snake print and buckle, it might mean that it's officially time to binge Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (and the other seven films). If you're not up for the normal cross-body moment this bag offers, just fold the chain in half, and you're left with a shoulder bag.#

Promising review: "Let me spill the tea — it's giving major Gucci vibes! This bag is a total [alternative], and I'm here for it!!!!! It's super cute, perfectly sized, and I'm completely obsessed. The snake print design adds that touch of luxury and edginess that I crave in a purse. Whether I'm rocking a casual look or dolled up for a night out, this bag pulls everything together like magic. The chain detail? For the price, it's everything. Talk about a chic statement piece. If you're all about that Gucci-esque style without breaking the bank then get ready to turn heads and have everyone wondering, 'Is that a Gucci?' Oh, honey, it's a fashion secret we'll keep to ourselves." —Rita

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 22 colors).

28. A pair of oversize fleece cargo joggers for anyone wanting to experiment with street style without breaking the bank on a pair from Nike. These joggers are going to be the easiest (and cutest) thing to grab whenever your friends decide it's finally time to grab the first pumpkin-flavored drink of the season.#

Promising review: "High-quality baggy sweatpants. I love them so much I also bought four different colors. I wanted the slightly baggy, hang off my mid-waist look. They are very warm and soft inside. They have not changed size since washing and drying." —MacBethany

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 11 colors). 

29. A faux-leather bag if you've had your eye on Polène's Cyme, but know your checking account just wouldn't allow that purchase. This is the perfect everyday tote, especially if you're someone who keeps a few too many things with them at all times (like a random toothbrush and seven phone chargers). #

Promising review: "I’ve had this bag for months now and use it everyday. I wanted a grown up bag for my office job that could carry my iPad without looking like a bulky book bag. The material is thick with nice grain texture. Color has not faded, no cracking on the folds and the inside has a nice suede texture. I eventually cut off the smaller handles because they got in the way. The wallet inside is nice and roomy and detaches from the handles. I can fit my 10-inch iPad. I saw comments on the magnets being weak, but haven’t had that issues. Since there are no internal pockets, this is a very spacious open bag. Even with an added pen pouch it still has room for my phone, an Apple, even a water bottle. A good buy overall and would repurchase if it ever falls apart (which I don’t see happening soon)" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in eight colors and two sizes). 

30. Hanes Ultimate ankle socks for all you ankle > no show baddies who don't want to drop $35 on Aritzia's TNA versions. These make it super easy to stay on trend *and* stay on budget!#

Promising reviews: "BESTIES, if you don't own these socks yet, buy them NOW! I purchased these over and over again after finding them. They beat every other ankle sock I've tried in comfort, durability, and price! They are the perfect height on my ankles and look great with every shoe or slipper. A NEED!" —Carly Mabli

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $11.69+ (available in sizes 5–9 or 8–12 and in two colors).

31. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers, if Lululemon Align joggers are always on your wishlist, but that $$ price tag is hard to justify a purchase. Reviewers say the stretch, durability, and comfort of these pants are just as good but at a fraction of the cost — there's no sight of just "settling" here.#

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 $26.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 23 colors).
