1. Alternative for the £35 Dreamer Pointelle Tee – Off White As hinted by the name, the basics line from the Love Island star’s newly launched brand showcases simplistic must-haves for daily wear, and what’s more of a basic necessity than a plain white tee? If you didn’t manage to snag the Maebe piece, keep calm, as John Lewis has the perfect addition to your wardrobe that’s ideal for any ensemble. Just under Maebe’s price tag, the Ultimate Cotton T-Shirt in White is priced at £29 and offers sizes from XS to XL. This everyday staple can effortlessly be dressed up or down, depending on the event. Offering a relaxed yet flattering fit that suits all body types, this is a great ‘basic’ to have in your wardrobe throughout every season. This must-have from John Lewis has received glowing reviews from satisfied customers who are thrilled they chose this essential. One happy shopper gushed: “I’m delighted with the fabric and quality of this white cotton tee shirt. It’s a short length which is exactly what I want as I do not want to tuck it in. I like the sleeve length, they stop well above my elbow.” And another beamed: “I just ordered six different white T-shirts to find the best one. This is the hands-down winner. The material is thick but with some stretch, and the shoulder seams are on the shoulder, which makes it feel slightly smarter and more flattering. It’s loose but not baggy and the right length to tuck in or not.” 2. Alternative for the £50 Contour Popper Top – Off White/Black If you found yourself falling for the contour popper top from this collection, available in either black or white, but couldn’t justify spending £50 on a top – or simply weren’t quick enough to snag one before they sold out – then you won’t want to miss these alternatives from ASOS, reports the Mirror. Featuring a similar straight, boat-neck design and front popper detailing, these staples are available in a range of colours and sizes that far surpass the Maebe offerings. The ASOS DESIGN button-through tank top in textured black comes in white, green, brown, red and many other shades that are sure to not only become wardrobe essentials but provide plenty of versatility and style for every day of the week. You can snap up these button tops in sizes XS to L for a bargain £22, less than half the price of the Maebe top. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something a bit warmer as autumn sets in, ASOS has these knitted versions in black and white that exude the same chic vibes with a cosy twist for £28. 3. Alternative for the £140 The Ultimate Blazer – Grey Maebe Basic’s grey blazer, as seen on Molly-Mae in the lead-up to the launch, is undoubtedly the brand’s most iconic piece. However, with the item flying off the shelves, and the £140 price tag, it may have been out of reach for some budgets. That’s where this H&M alternative comes in – a budget-friendly steal that’s sure to suit every wallet. This single-breasted blazer is perfect for creating 90s-inspired outfits, whether for office trips or weekend coffee dates. It can seamlessly blend with any attire to deliver chic style while replicating Molly-Mae’s signature look. Available in sizes XS to XXL, this dark grey gem retails for a lower price of £38, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking Molly-Mae’s effortlessly cool style without breaking the bank. One thrilled shopper raves: “The grey blazer is fabulous. The fabric is soft and it looks more expansive than it really is. I love it! “.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK! MagazineFacebookTwitterMore OnLove IslandMolly-Mae HagueShoppingFashion
