Trickle down style is among us everywhere, and it’s important to know you don’t have to bite labels to look good.  Depending on your budget, you can mix and match or go entirely high street – it’s all up to you.

ASOS is an excellent ally for the online shopper; their grey felt trilby is just like J. Crew’s Billykirk, only 1/5th of the price.  ASOS also has a comparably shaped pair of sunnies to Kurt Geiger’s Sienna shades, and a close blue satchel to Proenza Shouler’s PS1.

The next three items are the seasonal heavy hitters – skinny cargos, striped sweaters and over the knee riding boots.  Compare Steve Madden’s Sabras to Stuart Weitzman’s Hilo boots – they have similarly streamlined structure, a low stacked heel and rounded toe, only the Maddens are less than half the price.

Debenham’s house label Red Herring has a grey sweater that echoes of Tory Burch’s Maude jumper, though cream and black sweaters are one of the easier items to come by in a great shop search. Tuck in a pair of American Eagle’s military jegging (compared to Current/Elliott’s slim cargo), and top off with a grey wear-anytime Sign scarf (over Faliero Sarti’s)… you’re going to look sharp enough to cut glass.
