Necklace Print T-shirt: Balmain vs Karen Millen

Balmain's A/W stock is starting to trickle in and you can bet it will fly out of stores, fashionistas are already going crazy for the grunge-luxe look. Their necklace print tee from Bowns is a great way to get the hardware look without actually piling on the metal, but the £710 price tag might deter some.

Karen Millen's t-shirt is a far more affordable £69.95 and features a similar jewellery print. Team it with tailored, carrot leg trousers and heels for a chic look. If you've been taken in by Balmania then wear your tee with distressed, acid wash denim and an exaggerated shoulder jacket for an accurate take on the look. Susie Bubble also knocked up an impressive necklace print tee in association with Borders and Frontiers, so you're spoilt for choice!

  • I quite like the oversized cut on the Balmain tee, but I agree it could be unflattering. You have, however just inspired your CQ ed to come up with a crafty solution! Stay tuned x

    I want it, I must have it (The Balmain)...But lets face it, I can´t afford it. Maybe its time for a little DIY???

    Frankly, I think the Karen Millen one is much nicer than the Balmain one.

    The KM t-shirt looks more fitted, and figure flattering, while the Balmain one just looks shapeless.
