They’re definitely expensive for a reason, but then again, most of us can’t afford them. And honestly, would you want to wear something that costs thousands, only for someone to spill a drink on it and ruin it? Of course the answer is NO (or at least that’s what we tell ourselves until we get rich). Plus, you have to admit that you’re sometimes too lazy to take your shit to the dry cleaner.

Truth be told, there are plenty of quality, price-point brands that not only step up your style game, but also won’t cost you an arm and a leg. That way, you can still buy your date a nice three-course meal instead of a chicken sandwich combo at Chick-Fil-A (don’t get us wrong, we love that place, but you want to do something nice for your girl every now and then). With that said, check out these designer looks and see how we recreate them with a little more thought and a lot less cash.

Summer’s around the corner, so take a cue from this guy!
