Scoping: Dôen-Inspired Style
For Less $$
I’m a long-time fan of Dôen’s whimsical styles — the flowy dresses, tops, and skirts. It’s one of my go-to brands for styling, finding one-of-a-kind vacation pieces, and capsule wardrobe choices.
While they’re certainly investment pieces, I wanted to share a handful of favorite Dôen-inspired pieces I’ve found that are at a much lower price point.
So I’ve rounded up a few pieces that give that effortless, chic look. The “very French, countryside meets I’ve gone into the village for baked goods and look amazing” kind of look. What I do love about this style of dressing is that it works across several landscapes, from cities to the countryside and the coast, which is why I’ve built my wardrobe around the style.
So, a few pieces that give a Dôen-inspired look for less.
*Anything marked with “**” are pieces I own and love.
This first section is curated from J.Crew because they had a wonderful collection this summer, and many of these styles are currently on sale.
