The highly anticipated Balmain X H&M collaboration was launched last week and it didn't disappoint, selling out within minutes in stores worldwide and leaving many empty handed. If, like the majority of us, you weren't quick enough (or couldn't spare £399 for THAT dress) then don't panic, the high street is now bursting at the seems with affordable look-a-likes.
BALMAIN X H&M
Staying true to form, Oliver Rousteing filled the collection with heavily embellished, military inspired luxe-looking designs, giving the high street a chance to look and feel like a designer runway show. My favourite piece from the collection is the over-sized double breasted jacket which looks amazing worn as a dress. At £99 is wasn't the most expensive piece, in fact most of the collection was fairly priced considering, but the look can still be achieved at less than half the price.

MISSGUIDED
Missguided is not somewhere I usually shop however I stumbled across this Long Sleeve Tux Dress and instantly loved it. Available in both black and navy, and at only £40, (with never ending discount for students) it's a cheap and easy way to recreate the Balmain look. Preferring tailored suits to party dresses, I always struggle to find a dress that has that structured edge. The tux dress is a perfect blend of both and will definitely be my go-to outfit this up coming party season.
