Get the Designer Look for Less: Six Outfits to Shop Preloved Right Now
Designer dressing doesn't have to mean full retail price. At Luxury Resale Concierge, we curate preloved pieces so you can put together beautiful, considered outfits for a fraction of what they'd cost new. Here are six complete looks — inspiration image and all — styled entirely from our current edit.
Look 01 — Off-duty Utility
Utility dressing is one of those perennial looks that never quite goes away — and when it's done right, with quality pieces, it looks effortless rather than army surplus. This look layers two great jacket options over relaxed separates, with a serious bag to anchor it.
The Jacket
Rails Trey Camo Utility Jacket — £190 £135
Or: Simkhai Rollins Mixed Media Bomber — £600 £180
The Bag
Hermès Herbag Messenger 39 — £3,400 £1,550
The look from £1,685 — save up to £1,905
The Herbag is one of those under-the-radar Hermès pieces that holds its value extraordinarily well. Practical, structured and instantly recognisable to those who know — exactly what a great bag should be.
Look 02 — All-black Everything
The all-black look is a wardrobe classic, but the quality of the pieces is what elevates it. Here, a proper Saint Laurent tote, the softest cashmere wrap and a statement leather biker bring serious weight to what could otherwise read as basic.
The Bag
Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Canvas Tote — £1,380 £700
The Layer
Equipment Black Cashmere Travel Wrap — £350 £165
The Jacket
Pinko Black Leather Biker Jacket — £425 £80
The look for £945 — save £1,210
The Pinko biker at £80 is exceptional value. Pair it with the YSL tote and you've got an outfit anchored by two pieces that would cost well over £1,800 new.
Look 03 — Leather & Leopard
This is the look for when you want to make an entrance. A sleek black car coat with a leopard-print ponyhair bag underneath — it's a classic Parisian combination, the kind that looks both expensive and effortless.
The Coat
Chloé Black Leather Car Coat — £1,750 £700
The Knit
Pinko Black Cable Knit Turtleneck — £350 £85
The Bag
Saint Laurent Spontini Leopard Ponyhair Bag — £1,700 £750
The look for £1,535 — save £2,265
The YSL Spontini in leopard ponyhair is one of those rare pieces that you genuinely don't see often. It adds personality to even the most minimal outfit — the cable knit turtleneck is the perfect understated base for it.
Look 04 — Jet-set Classic
Not every great look needs a big saving attached to it. Sometimes it's about finding pieces that are simply right — and this pairing of a Patrizia Pepe black high-neck blouse with a vintage 1989 Louis Vuitton Keepall is exactly that. One-of-a-kind, in the truest sense.
The Top
Patrizia Pepe Black High-Neck Blouse — £48
The Bag · Vintage 1989
Louis Vuitton Keepall 45 — £450
The look for £498 — one-of-a-kind vintage
Vintage monogram Louis Vuitton has been having a moment for years now and shows no sign of slowing down. A Keepall from 1989 is not just a bag — it's a piece of fashion history, and at £450 it represents exceptional value for something this iconic.
Look 05 — Parisian Tailoring
Sharp, considered and quietly expensive-looking. This look builds around the Dior Saddle Belt Bag in burgundy — one of the most recognisable silhouettes in contemporary fashion — and grounds it with tailored separates from Veronica Beard and Balenciaga.
The Bag
Dior Saddle Belt Bag in Burgundy Oblique — £1,200 £750
The Jacket
Veronica Beard Leslie Wool Blazer — £155
The Trouser
Balenciaga Black Tapered Trousers — £800 £140
The look for £1,045 — save over £1,100
The Balenciaga trousers at £140 against an £800 RRP is the kind of saving that makes preloved shopping genuinely exciting. A sleek black trouser is endlessly wearable; in Balenciaga, it's a wardrobe staple with credentials.
Look 06 — Airport Chic
Travel dressing is often an afterthought, but it doesn't have to be. This look takes the Dior Book Tote in blue Toile de Jouy Palms — one of the most beautiful bags in the Dior archive — and pairs it with an easy oversized coat and sharp Loewe combat boots. Comfortable, considered, and completely put-together.
The Tote
Dior Book Tote in Toile de Jouy Palms — £2,900 £999
The Coat
American Vintage Wool Blend Coat — £100
The Boots
Loewe Black Leather Combat Boots — £395
The look for £1,494 — save over £1,900
The Dior Book Tote at £999 against a £2,900 retail price is extraordinary value for a bag that is both beautiful and genuinely useful. Large enough to carry everything you need, distinctive enough to do it in style.
