Finding a decent Reiss ankle boot lookalike is totally doable, though. Don’t even sweat it. The trick is nailing the vibe, not necessarily finding an exact copy. I mean, if you find an exact copy for, like, a fraction of the price, hit me up! I want in.
First off, think about what *actually* draws you to the Reiss boots. Is it the sleek silhouette? The buttery-soft leather (or suede, depending on what you’re eyeing)? That effortlessly chic vibe that screams, “I know what I’m doing, even if I’m actually just winging it”?
For me, it’s usually the minimalist design and the quality-looking materials. I’m a sucker for a good Chelsea boot, especially in black leather – classic, goes with everything, and hides all the inevitable scuffs from my clumsiness. Bloomingdale’s is mentioning ankle boots & booties and Chelsea boots, I am sure I can find something similar.
Nordstrom’s mentions Vince Camuto and Lucky Brand which could have some options. It’s really about prowling those online stores and seeing what catches your eye. Stylight boasts up to -78% off. That sounds promising, even if it’s probably just on, like, one specific boot that’s two sizes too small. (Story of my life.)
Here’s the thing: don’t be afraid to experiment! Maybe the *exact* Reiss lookalike is elusive, but you might stumble across something even better. Something that’s *your* style, but still captures that polished, sophisticated vibe. Maybe a pair with a slightly chunkier heel, or a different color that surprisingly works even better with your wardrobe. The “AW17 Ankle Boots Inspiration” mentioned must have some ideas.
Honestly, a little bit of creative styling can go a long way. Pair those “almost-Reiss” boots with a killer outfit, and nobody will even notice they’re not the real deal. Confidence is key, my friend! Just rock those boots like you dropped a fortune on them (even if you just scored them on sale at some random online shop).
