It’s easy to see why the playful, ruffled vibe of boutique brand For Love & Lemons is such a fan favorite; its gorgeously embellished pieces are true statement-makers. While the price point may not work for everyone, there are lots of gorgeous, wallet-friendly alternatives to For Love & Lemons that still call to mind the brand’s signature sweet-meets-spicy aesthetic. Even better? All these affordable pieces are available on Amazon.

How To Shop For The Best For Love & Lemons Alternatives

If you’re into the For Love & Lemons look, you know it’s often characterized by bright, cheerful colors (with the occasional classic black moment thrown in) and floral prints and embroidery; and while many of its most popular pieces are lingerie, even its dresses and tops can feel boudoir-inspired. When shopping, keep an eye out for pieces that strike a similar tone: A saucy lingerie set in a colorful, floral-embroidered mesh, for example, or a ruffled babydoll nightie in a vibrant shade, will convey a similar feel. If you love the underwear-as-outerwear items for which the brand is so adored, try a corset top in a pastel color — it’ll add the perfect dash of whimsical spice.

Ruffles, bows, and neckline all play a major role in defining the charm of a For Love & Lemons piece, so clothes with those sweet, playful features will strike a similar tone. An already on-trend crop top becomes For Love & Lemons-approved when it features ruffled sleeves, while a little black dress turns sweet and special with the addition of long, ruffled mesh sleeves and a deep V-neckline.

For Love & Lemons describes itself as making “enchanting clothing for the vibrant muse unafraid to take risks,” so as you shop, remember there’s no need to find exact copies — simply be the vibrant muse you are (though a ruffled sleeve can’t hurt). Scroll on to discover a few of the best wallet-friendly alternatives to For Love & Lemons, all conveniently available on Amazon.

An Easy-Breezy Maxi Dress With Subtle Side Cutouts

The Tencel fabric of this maxi dress by The Drop might seem more structured than a typical For Love & Lemons piece, but it still has plenty of the charming details that characterize a FL&L piece — like the square neckline, cut-out bodice, tiered skirt, and puff sleeves that can be worn on or off the shoulder.

A Bodysuit With Garters In Stunning Floral Lace

Hit For Love & Lemons marks with this floral lace bodysuit. Like so many FL&L lingerie pieces, it combines show-stopping lace with a charming pastel color to devastating effect; it even features garters for an extra dash of spice. Made of soft blend of nylon and spandex, this bodysuit has adjustable straps and a decorative lace-up back with a thong bottom. Just note that it slips on (with no snap at the crotch) so those concerned about restroom trips may want to wear this for nights in. Which, with a piece as saucy as this, you surely will.

Enthusiastic review: “Lovely! Looks exactly like the photos. Quality is good [...] I like that all the straps are adjustable [...] The corset back isn't adjustable, but that's actually better, since the lacing won't get messed up. The lacing and the lace of the bodysuit itself has some stretch, so it's easy to get on and off. There's no snap crotch, which is definitely more comfortable but can also be trickier. All in all, I'd say this is well made and fun to wear. Would buy again.”
