31 Spring Pieces to Buy If Your Dream Wardrobe Is All Prada All the Time
As much as I'd like to add Prada's entire S/S 24 collection to my wardrobe, it's not possible. I'd consider myself lucky to get my hands on just one piece. On that note, if you're a Prada girl without an all-Prada budget, I'm here to offer support in the form of Prada-inspired spring shopping. The S/S 24 collection was chock-full of beautiful pieces contrasted with utilitarian ones. There were gauzy pastel dresses and colorful satin shoes alongside utility jackets and sharp-shoulder blazers, elegant cardigans alongside eye-catching metallic-fringe belts. All in all, there's a through line of '90s minimalism that's helped to form the current Prada look that's so wildly popular.
I did some spring shopping through this lens and found a curation of pieces that'll give you that current Prada look without the Prada price tag. Keep scrolling to shop for chic spring wardrobe builders along with me.

When shopping for fringed pieces, think modern and elegant.
The pants on Prada's spring runway were pleated and high-waisted.
I can't put my finger on why this makes me think of Prada, but it does.
