For instance is it leather or is it PU, is it a wool jumper or does it say knit fabrication. Colour plays a big part when shopping for affordable styles but still wanting an expensive look.

Affordability can be subjective, it can either be about the actual cost of the piece or about cost per wear and the longevity of the piece. In some instances, you might want to spend more to get a better quality fabrication that will last longer,” says Adolphe. “Another way to shop designer affordably is to wish list and follow brands you know will usually create good quality pieces and watch out for when they go on sale.”What are the best affordable Australian brands to shop in 2025?“Expect to find wardrobe staples and seasonal key pieces from Aere, high quality minimalist pieces from Minima Esenciales, stunning tailored pieces from Mossman, winter essentials from Staple The Label, Sovere, Assembly Label, Ena Pelly, Elka Collective, Blanca and Morrison,” says Adolphe. “For that special dress or outfit that won’t break the bank, Australian dress labels I’d look at are Significant Other, By Johnny, Shona Joy, Lover, Third Form and Hansen & Gretel.”Sign up to the Vogue newsletter
