We’ve all been there and it seriously sucks.

WATCH: Australian Fashion Week First Nations fashion shows

While Aussie fashion has come a long way in the last few years, we still don’t have some of the staple stores teens are obsessed with in the US.

And the ones that do ship to Australia can cost an arm and a leg and take weeks to even arrive.

We’ve tracked down some of the best local and close-to-home ‘dupes’ for the US fashion brands that you see in every TikTok fashion haul and on every trendy Pinterest moodboard.

While the clothes may not be identical, you’ll be able to shop the trends you’re obsessed with, minus the crazy shipping costs.

Want Urban Outfitters? Try Ghanda

If you love Urban Outfitters but want to shop closer to home, Ghanda is your best bet for fun, casual pieces and a throwback vibe. Both brands offer some of the latest trends as well as basics like graphic tees, comfy denim and vintage-inspired styles from the ’70s and ’80s.

The best thing is that Ghanda stock styles based on Aussie seasons, so you can shop comfy knits in our cold months. July usually sees US stores selling bikinis and sundresses, which aren’t always ideal for Aussie weather.

For a dupe of the BDG Rori Boxy Sweater Vest ($77.00) from Urban, shop the Billy Vest ($39.95) from Ghanda.

Want Free People? Try Faithfull The Brand

No one does a boho dress like Free People… except for Faithfull The Brand that is. If you’re after a hit of bohemian style without the US price point, this is the place for you; Faithfull stocks everything from cute flowy dresses, to trendy co-ord sets and even swimwear.

Both brands are on the pricey side, but at least Faithfull The Brand charges in Aussie dollars and shipping won’t take forever.

For a dupe of the Zhandra Rhodes The Sunday Set ($228) from Free People, try the El Paso Midi Dress Seymour Floral Print ($209) from Faithfull The Brand.
