Tuckernuck Style on a Budget

If you’ve ever shopped at Tuckernuck, you know the pieces are so good. Classic silhouettes, feminine details, timeless patterns—they nail that elevated, preppy-with-a-twist style. And for me, it’s almost always worth the price. I’ve kept some of my Tuckernuck staples for years since the styles endure season after season. The cost per wear ends up being low because I reach for them again and again.

That said, if your budget doesn’t allow for the splurge right now, I get it. I’ve rounded up a few pieces that give you the look without the price tag. There’s no true “Tuckernuck dupe,” because the quality, tailoring, and fabric choices just aren’t the same, but these are solid alternatives that pull off the vibe.

The Best Tuckernuck Dupes

Dresses

Tuckernuck is known for throw-on-and-go dresses that instantly make you feel put together. These are some of the most recognizable styles—with look-for-less options you’ll actually wear:

Chloe Dress

Tuckernuck Chloe Dress – Romantic and classic, elegant and simple. It’s perfectly structured, but still hugs in all the right places. It’s not too heavy, so I can still wear it in the summer! It’s a dress that pairs with heels or flats, sunnies or statement earrings, and works for day or night (and assures you look fabulous). Here’s me trying on the Chloe Dress.

Amazon Chloe Dupe – Same flattering cut with puff sleeves and a structured drape. It hasn’t come in yet, but when it does, I will update this with my review!

Callahan Shirt Dress

Tuckernuck Callahan Shirt Dress – I’ve had this dress for 5 years now and even have a couple of different colors based on the season! It’s one of the best casual summer dresses for moms, it’s work friendly, and so easy to throw on (these are some of the biker shorts I’d recommend paring underneath). Polished enough for errands or casual workdays! You can see me in the XS here.

Amazon Callahan Dress Dupe – I‘m so impressed with this Tuckernuck lookalike! The fabric is better that the real thing and I prefer the shoulder detailing, too! It’s a little tighter in the booty, so if you’re glutes are bigger, I’d probably go with the Tuckernuck version. I’m trying on the XS Amazon lookalike dress here.

Quince Callahan Dress Dupe – I haven’t personally tried the Quince version of this dress, but the reviews are great and the striped detail is so cute! Based on the items from Quince I have tried (you can see my Quince review here), you could probably size down if you’re on the fence!

Ophelia Dress

Tuckernuck Tweed Ophelia Dress – This is such a classic structured look that will stand the test of time. The fringe detail is adorable! I’d likely pair this dress with my favorite ballet flats.

Amazon Tweed Opelia Dress Dupe – Same elegant silhouette for a much prettier price tag!

Jackie Tweed Dress

Tuckernuck Jackie Tweed Dress – Another dress that’s super timeless– it definitely gives old-money.

Amazon Jackie Tweed Dress Dupe – The quality at first glance looks nicer on the Tuckernuck version, but for the price, this one would definitely be worth trying.

Finley Flutter Sleeve Dress

Tuckernuck Finley Flutter Sleeve Dress – A sweet, feminine everyday dress. The notched neckline is such a fun detail on this dress! It would pair perfectly with any of the best white sneakers rounded up in this post, or neutral sandals (my favorites here).

Amazon Finley Flutter Sleeve Dress Dupe – This looks so identical to the Tuckernuck one that it took me a while to spot a difference! One thing to note is the Tuckernuck dress is 100% cotton, whereas the Amazon version is Cotton, Polyester, and Spandex. It would totally be worth trying the dupe!

Mabel Maxi Dress

Tuckernuck Mabel Maxi Dress – So effortless and unfussy. The perfect all-day dress. I think I’m going to buy it since I liked the style of the Amazon one so much but not the fabric.

Amazon Mabel Maxi Dress Dupe – I don’t own the Tuckernuck version in this, but I don’t love the fabric– it feels pretty thin and doesn’t drape super well, so it may be better on those with small chests. I tried this dress on in a small here. However, I love the style, so I think I might buy the Tuckernuck version.

McKenna Dress

Tuckernuck McKenna Dress – This tan stripe McKenna dress from Tuckernuck is such a chic, effortless staple with a timeless, tailored fit.

Amazon McKenna Shirt Dress Dupe – The quality is good, but it’s oversized and ran a bit too big on my petite frame so I’d recommend sizing down. I tried this dress on here.

Tops

When it comes to tops, structured silhouettes and feminine details are key. These pieces give you that polished-meets-playful look:

Sofia Shirt

Tuckernuck Sofia Shirt – This is one of my favorite Tuckernuck tops– it’s definitely thicker and more structured.

Amazon Sofia Collared Shirt Dupe – Such a great dupe– I’ll be keeping the Amazon version! Still crisp in structure, but the material is a little lighter, which is perfect for summer!

Selena Blouse

Tuckernuck Selena Blouse – The perfect blend of chic and traditional. I love the elevated pleats and subtle volume for an effortlessly polished look. Wear it to work or date night!

Amazon Selena Blouse Dupe – Has more of a babydoll silhouette, and maintains the pleated details of the Selena blouse at a fraction of the price.

Americana Sweater

Tuckernuck Americana Sweater – You guys probably already know how much I love this sweater, considering it’s my personal favorite in my 4th of July outfits blog post! I reach for it every year and every American holiday!

Old Navy American Sweater Dupe – This Old Navy sweater is budget-friendly but still captures the same classic Americana charm as the Tuckernuck version.

Other Tuckernuck Dupes I’ve Found

White Eyelet Skirt

White Eyelet Skirt – The perfect warm-weather staple. It has an A-line silhouette that is SO flattering.

Amazon Eyelet Skirt Dupe – Nearly identical look at a fraction of the cost. I didn’t love how this hugged my curves so I sent it back, but it does have great reviews so it may be worth trying to see if you like it.

Woven Flats

Woven Flats – I love the texture on these Loeffler Randall flats! I actually put together a blog post on the best Loeffler Randall dupes here since they can be super pricey!

Amazon Woven Flats Dupe – Looks almost identical except for the strap– it looks a little thicker.

Raffia Bag

Mini Raffia Lady Bag – This darling little raffia top-handle feels so timeless and polished.

Mango Raffia Bucket Bag – The perfect look-for-less bucket bag with that same breezy, coastal vibe – chic and affordable. Plus, it comes with a long crossbody strap if you prefer.
