The UGG boot dupe
A Canadian winter necessity, love ‘em or hate ‘em, the UGG boot style is here to stay. And with an iconic fashion staple comes a long line of imitators. Few are as good as the Joe Fresh version, with a few colours and height variations coming in and out of stock throughout the season. This black mid-calf pair is currently on clearance, so grab your pair while you can and skip the high price tag for the original.

The SKIMS substitute
One of the most popular sections of Joe Fresh to stumble upon viral dupes is the brand’s intimates and sleepwear section. Using a variety of soft cotton, slinky silks and cozy textured knits, Joe Fresh has often been hailed for having a serious stock of SKIMS-worthy substitutes — at a fraction of the cost. The Joe Fresh Microfibre T-Shirt Bra is a dead ringer for the SKIMS T-Shirt Bra, with the biggest visible difference being in price. Score the Joe Fresh version for under $20.

The Aritzia-style shacket
The shacket that started it all, Aritizia’s Ganna jacket is definitely an iconic seasonal staple. While there is no shortage of imitators season after season, Joe Fresh’s textured version this winter has shacket fans taking it viral for its similar features — with a textured twist. The best part? Joe Fresh’s shacket is priced at a more affordable $79 versus the original, which can cost you more than double that price.
