| Expensive Version | Cheap Version | Thoughts |
|---|---|---|
| Common Projects Suede Chelsea Boots | River Island Chelsea Boots | Common Project Chelsea's pretty desirable at $525 and are a classic chelsea boot. The combo of nice colored suede and crepe sole makes them semi difficult to replicate. River Island Chelsea's are gonna be pretty damn close to the CPs in terms of looks. The only main difference being that they don't go quite as high on the ankle. A pair of long pants should cover that up. These are only $79 so don't expect high quality craftsmanship, but they appear to be a tier above asos and zara boots. |
| Saint Laurent Chelsea Boots | Shoe The Bear Chelseas | Saint Laurent Wyatt 30s are in my opinion the best chelsea boots out there. I've owned one for about 2 years and they've never given me any trouble. I did get them used though because I can drop a grand on a pair of boots. Shoe the Bear Joel Chelsea's are almost identical except for the curve at the heel. These are $160 and would vastly outperform the River Island Chelsea's in the previous row. Honestly these seem like a really good purchase. |
| Balenciaga Harness Boots | Frye Stone Harness Chelseas | These Balenciaga Boots are a bit more ‘cowboy-ish’ in nature than either of the boots listed before. The cuban heel and harness look awesome together. These are also stupid expensive, and in classic 🅱️alenciaga style and are also available distressed for a couple hundred more. Frye stone harness boots are pretty close looks wise to the Balenciaga boots and honestly probably have a similar construction. For $250 these are the most expensive alternative on this list, but are probably the highest quality |
| Saint Laurent Suede Aviator Jacket | Stradivarius Suede Biker Jacket | This Saint Laurent Jacket is modern version of a classic look. It costs about 5.5 grand, so unless this jacket seems better than a decent used car it’s pretty much unattainable. I wasn't able to find anything perfect, but this Stradivarius Suede Biker Jacket was the closest I could get. It seems a bit thicker that the SLP Jacket and doesn't have the ribbed cuffs and bottom. Ultimately it's not gonna be perfect, and the cheaper jacket isn't super cheap, but its likely the best you will find if you want that look. |
| Balenciaga Triple S | Puma Thunder Spectra | I'm probably gonna get ablsoluely destoryed for throwing these boys on the list, but here goes. If you happen to like the look of the Balenciaga Triple S you're gonna like the price even less. These sell out at 1 grand, so chances you’ll get them are slim. In the next week or two puma is releasing shoes that look suspiciously like the aforementioned triple s. They’ll be about $150 and will probably sell fast, so if you like the look and want them, do some research and you'll snag a pair for sure. |
