8 Iconic Designer Dupes Every Girl Needs: Black Heels Edition
Whether it is girls night, date night, or you are attending a fancy gala you can always count on her. A timeless fashion statement that will never go out of style. Black heels are a necessity and your safest option to pair with every outfit. Lately the girls have been head over heels for designer goods. Though I am all for luxury, it can be pretty costly. Let’s face it, it's not ideal for us to be spending hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars on heels, especially when our day to day living is already expensive as is. For someone who has no self control when it comes to cute shoes and a great deal believe me when I say it is possible to find the best designer dupes. Here are some of my personal favorites that have helped me achieve a bougie wardrobe the budget friendly way.
* A is the Designer and B is the Dupe
1. The Classic Heel
A) Christian Louboutin So Kate $795.00
B) ASOS DESIGN Wide Fit Passion Stiletto Pumps $43.00
Red bottoms continue to be a staple in the fashion world but Carbi B told no lies when she said “these expensive”. Not to add they are extremely uncomfortable for many. ASOS has a pair with the same arch structure, glossy appeal, but better you’ll actually be able to walk in these.
2. The Padlock Heel
A) Tom Ford Lock Stiletto Sandals $1,290.00
B) Chain Padlock Detail Clear Pointed Toe Metallic Heel $29.00
Tom Ford has the cutest signature padlock but my find is just as cute if not cuter. The gold chain gives it a bit of extraness which is a great match for my personality.
3. The Logo Heel
A) Yves Saint Laurent Opyum Sandals $1,290.00
B) ASOS Farah Chain Heel Detailed Sandals $52.00
These Yves Saint Laurent heels take the cake for pain. Instead choose a heel with a unique platform AND provides support. Cute and comfy is key.
4. The Slingback Heel
A) Amina Muaddi Satin Begum Slingback Heels $1,090
B) Vetaste Crystal Slingback Pump $59.99
You can't tell me these are not completely identical. Amina Muaddi has been on the rise but so has Amazon fashion.
5. The Extra AF Heel
A) Jimmy Choo Averly Bow Ankle Strap Pumps $1,125
B) Azalea Wang Sweetie Trendy Bow Pumps $59.90
This pair is probably my favorite from the list. I love anything asymmetrical. It automatically looks chic and expensive. Jimmy Choo did his thing and gave the heels the attention they so rightfully deserve. Talk about a party in the front and the back.
6. The Beaded Heel
A) Rene Caovilla Chandelier Ankle Wrap Sandals $1,800.00
B) Aqua Duet Embellished Ankle Strap Sandals $138.00
Wrap up heels are another one that have my heart. The beads add just the right amount of glamour to take any outfit from zero to one hundred.
7. The Platform Heel
A) Valentino Garavanti Tan-Go Platform $1,200.00
B) Rhinestone Pendant Decor Chunky Heel $56.99
I haven't forgotten about the girls who love to stand tall. Platform heels have been the shoe for 2022 and even though I am not a big fan these are for my girls who are. Who knows...maybe I might come around someday.
8. The Mule Heel
A) Bottega Veneta Lido Mule $1,500.00
B) Vince Cameo Brelanie Strap Mule $49.99
Mules are great for sunny days. Whether you want to dress them up or dress them down they are great for any occasion.
See, bougie on a budget IS possible. Why do you want the designer instead of the dupe? When you think about it they are just the same despite a little logo differentiating them. Nine times out of ten you pay for the brand but with dupes you get quality and save money all while adding to your shoe collection. Now that's a win.
