#MondayMotivation: How to look like you're wearing Givenchy for much less

accreditation

Clare Waight Keller, a British stylist, designer and the woman currently holding the position of artistic director at Givenchy is certainly one of the most talked about women in fashion at the moment, and it’s for all the right reasons.

It goes without saying that when the list of women you’re designing outfits for includes Queen Bey, Riri and the Duchess of Sussex, you and the luxury brand you represent are, in fact, THE powerhouse. 

So yes, if you’re looking to indulge in a premium brand this year, Givenchy is certainly the one. But babes like us, on a tight budget, can also indulge in the aesthetic for less.

The sweet sweatshirt

You really don’t need to break a sweat or your bank balance to strike the perfect designer sweater look, especially not when H&M has got it all in one dress. Nail this entire Givenchy look with a cinched waist and a pair of killer heels.
