The Look for Less - Max Mara Teddy Bear Coat Dupes

The now iconic Max Mara teddy bear coat first made its debut on the fall 2013 runway, and style insider Carine Roitfeld took notice. With a price tag of over $3600, it's quite the investment coat. It didn't gain major traction until 2018. Since then, it's been surging in popularity. The statement cold weather coat has been spotted on Hailey Bieber, Karlie Kloss, Kim Kardashian West, Julia Roberts, Eva Chen and countless other celebrities and influencers. The ultimate in luxury outerwear, the Max Mara teddy coat offers warmth and cozy comfort because of its soft camel hair and silk construction. With its twisted arm seams, dropped shoulders, and oversized fit, it's a certified street style gem. Max Mara even introduced the coat in look-at-me bold colors such as turquoise, cornflower blue, and coral.

I just bought this teddy bear dupe under $70 and I can't wait for colder temperatures to wear it with everything. It runs true to size, is super soft, and has a shorter length which works well for petite shoppers and people in warmer climates (like me). Plus, I adore the pale oatmeal color because it's easy to match with other neutrals and all the animal prints that are on trend right now.

The Look for Less - Prada Padded Headband Dupes

When Miuccia Prada sent her models down the spring/summer 2019 runway adorned with baby bangs and padded headbands, a new beauty trend was (re)born for the season. Set aside all those pearl hair clips you've been wearing (and admiring on the 'gram) and get ready for the resurgence of the headband. This time around, the trend has a whole new look. These aren't the preppy styles of Blair Waldorf's Gossip Girl era; they are retro and modern all at once. Prada's puffy versions, adorned with jewels or made from lustrous satin, were paired with striking baby bangs for a fresh new take on the schoolgirl classic. The padded construction makes them quite the statement piece, infusing them with a unique futuristic feel.

Influencers and royalty alike are already getting in on the padded headband trend. Kate Middleton wore a black velvet one in November to an event at Westminster Abbey. Camila Coelho and Leonie Hanne are also fans. 

A padded headband instantly elevates any outfit, especially when made from velvet or adorned with faux pearls.

The Look for Less

If the Prada headband isn't in your budget, no worries. (If so, you can shop the pretty pink style here for $240.) There are so may ways to get the padded headband look for less. Insta favorite accessories designer Lele Sadoughi makes super affordable styles that are easy on the wallet. Choose from knotted versions, printed styles, velvet, and more.

The Look for Less - By Far Heeled Sandal Dupes

If you've spent any time looking for fashion inspiration and shoe trends on social media lately, you've likely spotted your favorite influencers wearing must-have footwear by an up and coming Bulgarian brand called By Far. Started in 2016, By Far is known for their popular Libra and Virgo mule sandals. The brand's signature square-toe silhouettes and ladylike kitten heels are right on trend for the '90s revival and the skinny/strappy sandal trend that's escalating on the trend cycle right now. By Far sandals have simple, clean lines and are Italian made, making them a chic addition to spring and summer looks. Below are pictured some of the most sought-after styles.

Ranging in price from $295 for sandals to $530 for ankle boots, By Far shoes are more attainable than high end designer styles but they are also quite the splurge. Aimee Song is a fan of the bow-adorned January style and the cutout Virgo style.
