Over the years, there have been many fashion items that signal a certain 'status' to other people - whether it be a Pandora charm bracelet, designer hand bag, or even luxury workout clothes, some things are hidden in plain sight.

They are the secret 'class indicators' that are hidden in your wardrobe, like the Louis Vuitton Neverfull.   

And now, with the influence of platforms like TikTok and Instagram, those status symbol items have only gotten louder, with tons of people clamoring to get their hands on Drunk Elephant skincare or a spaghetti-strapped top from Tank Air.

But what happens when we want that viral item, but don't want to shell out tons of money? Or we don't want to have the same bag as every mom in the pickup line at school?

Daily Mail has rounded up a list of trendy alternatives to these popular items - and some of them will have you saving a significant amount of money, too.

Since it first launched in 2007, the $2,000 Louis Vuitton Neverfull has been a staple in many closets, as it's often one of the first designer bags that people splurge on.

In fact, it's widely known as one of the brand's most popular bags.  

It's a hit in Hollywood, having been carried by A-listers like Hilary Duff, Priyanka Chopra, Sofia Vergara and Reese Witherspoon.

But if you're getting sick of the patterned bag, or you feel it's done it's time in your closet, it might be time to upgrade.

If you're looking for a bag that is a similar shape but without the pattern, you may want to check out the $99.90 Classic Italian Leather Tote bag from Quince.

The tote from Quince comes in two colors - black and cognac, and unlike the Louis Vuitton, it features a zip-top, so nothing can fall out of the bag.

It also includes a 13-inch laptop slip. 

But if you're looking for something that's still technically considered 'designer,' Coach sells their City Tote bag, which is the same shape as the Neverfull, for just $179.

The Coach tote comes in a variety of different colors, and you can even select one that has their logo on it.

On the subject of accessories, if you're looking to upgrade that Pandora charm bracelet, there are plenty of options on the market right now.

The Pandora bracelet has become an iconic facet in the jewelry world, and they're easily able to be personalized.

Trendy brand Gorjana makes a silver, link-chain bracelet for just $70, while Uncommon James makes a similar paperclip bracelet that's on sale for just $24 right now.

These bracelets give a more subtle look for everyday wear, as they won't make much noise against your wrist.  

And, of course, any good accessories collection isn't complete without a great pair of shoes.

Over the years, the Stuart Weitzman 5050 over-the-knee boots have proven to be a hit - and come with a pretty price tag of $850.

They were especially popular in the 2010s, as many celebrities, such as Kim Kardashian and Sofia Richie Grainge, wore them in their heyday.

The boots feature a leather front, and a microstretch back - and you can obviously tell that they're two different materials.  

But if you've worn your Stuart Weitzman boots in, or you're just looking for a cheaper alternative, there are plenty to choose from.

Nine West makes the Allair Stretch Back Over the Knee Boots that looks almost identical to the Stuart Weitzman ones, using what appears to be the same material.

They're currently on sale for $132.30, marked down from $189.

Michael Kors also sells a look-alike pair, called the Lex Boot, for $175.

So whether you're looking to upgrade those 'status symbol' pieces or just want to save some money, there are tons of options to choose from.
