I still remember the first time I laid eyes on a Fear of God piece.
The quality of the materials, the detailed distressing, the perfect oversized fit – I was instantly obsessed.
But my wallet wasn’t quite as enthusiastic about the luxury price tags.
That sent me on a mission to find more affordable alternatives that could capture that same essence and aesthetic.
After lots of searching, I discovered there are plenty of brands producing that relaxed streetwear vibe without costing an arm and a leg.
You just have to know where to look.
H&M
This fast fashion staple offers an impressive selection of Fear of God-esque pieces each season.
I especially love their oversized tees, hoodies and bomber jackets.
The materials may not be quite as premium, but for the price, H&M can’t be beat.
I always check out their Divided line first, since that’s where they put most of their trendy streetwear pieces.
Last season they had these amazing dark gray cotton hoodies with dropped shoulders and cropped lengths that looked just like FOG.
I’ve also found really similar biker jeans and joggers in their denim section.
They used the perfect heavy fabrics with moto-style knee details.
And I can always rely on H&M’s outerwear selection – they constantly have new bomber jackets, faux leathers, or oversized coats that channel FOG’s vibe.
Their ribbed sleeve tees are another great option.
You really can’t beat the quality and trendiness for such inexpensive prices.
I style my H&M finds with my pricier designer pieces all the time.
No one ever guesses some of the staples actually came from the fast fashion racks!
Zara
Similar to H&M, Zara churns out new collections constantly.
They always have some relaxed sweats, bombers and hoodies that give off serious Fear of God energy.
I’ve found some killer faux leather joggers there too.
Zara’s jeans selection is top notch for nailing the FOG baggy denim aesthetic.
They use nice and heavy fabrics with just the right amount of stretch.
I’ve scored several pairs of light and black denim with cool biker details that look just as good as my pricier pairs.
Zara is also my go-to for fleeces and quarter zips that match the oversized, sporty vibe of Fear of God.
I love the unique details like contrast hoods, side zips and overlong sleeves.
Their outerwear is always so on point too.
Last fall I found an amazing faux suede moto jacket lined with sherpa – total FOG vibes.
Zara even does designer collaborations occasionally that really emulate the high fashion streetwear look.
One of my favorite hoodies is actually from their Balmain collection.
It has the perfect boxy shape and distressed details of FOG basics.

ASOS is my go-to for accessorizing my FOG looks for less.
Their hats, bags and shoes have a very similar vibe.
I especially dig their selection of dad caps – they add the perfect finishing touch to a relaxed streetwear fit.

The fanny packs and crossbody bags are great too.
