This £40 Dress Looks Exactly Like The Designer Style Every Fashion Editor Owns

Sleek and sculpted, this Jacquemus-inspired dress will become your denim go-to.

There’s something particularly exciting about uncovering a high street alternative to a designer cult buy – from the viral M&S scarf coat inspired by Toteme to the best-selling Zara dress that bears more than a passing resemblance to Réalisation Par’s Gia maxi. After all, who doesn’t love getting designer style for a fraction of the price? So when high street retailer New Look released a new dress that looked eerily similar to the Jacquemus de-Nîmes Spoglio dress, we were understandably excited.

New Look’s Denim Square Neck bodycon Midi Dress mirrors the Jacquemus original impeccably well. The Spoglio, of course, needs no introduction as it’s practically an A-lister in its own right. Loved by fashion’s inner circle and worn by every other stylish person you follow, it’s known for its sculpting denim and cinched silhouette. The only downside? A cool £745 price tag, which, fortunately, New Look’s version gracefully sidesteps, delivering the same polished silhouette for far less. £705 less, to be precise.

Featuring the same flattering silhouette as the Jacquemus prototype, New Look’s alternative comes in an almost identical dark denim wash and is devoid of any embellishment, delivering that same polished charm. Of course, that’s not all, because just like the original, New Look’s version comes with endless versatility.

It’s practically the gift that keeps on giving, sartorially speaking. Style it with black cowboy boots for a subtle Western nod, or channel Hailey Bieber with barely-there heeled flip-flops to stay on trend. Wear it solo during the summer months and take it straight into autumn with tights and a cool leather jacket once indigo denim inevitably makes its seasonal return. Shop it below, before (like every other designer dupe) it sells out.
