Looking at the Paris couture pictures and wondering what the hell they've got to do with you when everything costs more than a deposit for a flat? Us too. But you can totally steal ideas from the couture runways without doing any actual stealing.

Here are the hacks for looking like you know what's going down in Paris right now. And if you don't care, then just use the line 'Oh this? Yeah, it's referencing Alexandre Vaulthier's SS15 couture collection...' on people who do.

The Dior Stripe

Dress, £226.69, Milly

I mean this couldn't be easier. Buy a multi coloured striped dress, and ideally throw on a cropped black T shirt over the top. Not sure about those orange leather boots though. Might be best to go for black in the real world.

The Alexandre Vaulthier Tux-Dress

 

Tux dress, £48, Topshop

Such a cool look if you can nail it without your boobs falling out. Invest in decent boob tape, and make sure your boots are wider than your legs. That waders gap is so couture.

The Chanel Veiled Beanie

 

Beanie, £4.50, ASOS

You don't even have to buy a hat for this one - you could just buy some netting and do a quick stitch job. If you're truly dedicated you will glue on some feathers too.

**The Alexis Mabille Boiler Suit **

 

Jumpsuit, £25, Motel

Errr, hello saturday night outfit. This might be terrifying at first look, but wear a pink silk jumpsuit and I guarantee you will feel bloody briliant. And you can spill wine on this one without freaking out.
