12 Affordable Picks Inspired by the Brand Everyone Is Obsessed With

Pleated skirts, patches, backless loafers, 3D flowers, bird motifs, statement bombers, and more: While Gucci didn’t invent these trends, under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, the house has surely brought them to the forefront of fashion over the past year. This influence is made undeniably clear by the brand’s popularity among celebrities (see just a few examples on Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna, and Florence Welch), its near domination of the street style scene at fashion week, and its constantly sold-out pieces—which isn’t the only thing making it out of reach for some.

With their groundbreakingly forward designs and utmost quality of craftsmanship, Gucci pieces have the price tag to match—and rightfully so—but that doesn’t need to stop you from emulating Michele’s more-is-more approach to dressing. As with all major trends, affordable versions have emerged in the marketplace, and today, we’re bringing you the 12 coolest budget-friendly pieces to shop if you want to achieve the Gucci look.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
