It's no secret that I consider Miuccia Prada and everything she designs to be my sartorial North Star, and this fall is no different. In fact, if anything, I'm only doubling down on my infatuation with the Italian designer and specifically with everything she put out in Miu Miu's F/W 23 collection, from reinvented staples like gray cardigans to experimental items like sheer pencil skirts.
It doesn't take an insider's knowledge of fashion to see that Miu Miu has been the number one brand to set viral trends, though. Nearly every runway of the past two years has given birth to at least one season-defining trend, whether it be the pleated miniskirts from spring '22 or the satin ballet flats from fall '22.
Anyone who follows trends regularly knows that it is easy to fall in love with a fabulous runway piece on sight, but it's also just as easy to become heartbroken when you realize it's far too pricey for your budget. As much as we all wish we could be Miu Miu girlies, sometimes, it's just not accessible (unless you're shopping secondhand), so being able to find pieces that hit on the overall aesthetic is essential.
Of course, finding pieces that do just that is a skill set of its own. I'm not one to brag, but I think I'm pretty skilled at it as an editor. So I've dug to round up 25 affordable fall fashion finds under $220 that give Miu Miu vibes, IMHO.
