Free People / Oliver Bonas / Farm Rio
I still own the very first item I ever purchased fromAnthropologie—a gray pleated midi skirt with each pleat featuring a different floral Liberty print. At the time I didn’t know any other stores like Anthropologie, which had completely transformed the plain white cube of a shopping mall stall into something more akin to anEnglish cottageor Spanish villa. Roughly 15 years later, the brand still has that elevated boho vibe that lets shoppers in the U.S. and internationally picture themselves vacationing off the coast of Italy, growing their own vegetables in their backyards orembodying a vintage vibewithout the stress of vintage shopping, all through the power of impeccable styling.
Nowadays there are also many more brands and multi-retailers similar to Anthro, for both clothing and home décor, such as Tuckernuck, Free People, Farm Rio, Serena and Lily and Urban Outfitters. Here, with the help of recommendations from PureWow editors, decades of shopping experience and customer data, we’ve rounded up 21 of the best stores like Anthropologie to shop if you’re looking for that elevated boho chic apparel, home, accessories and bridal goods that Anthro does so well.

Best Elevated Silhouettes
1. Tuckernuck
What We Like
- flattering, chic and stylish silhouettes
- distinguishable designs
- feature well-known brands in addition to in-house label
What We Don’t Like
- some items can be pricey
Tuckernuck
This beloved brand was created in 2012 when the founders stumbled upon a quaint town named Tuckernuck in Nantucket, full of whimsy, discovery, fun and nostalgia—qualities you’ll find in the clothing. Since then, it’s become a PureWow favorite to shop for beautiful numbers with flattering silhouettes that are chic, comfortable and priced anywhere from $39 up to the four-digit range. You’ll see classic shapes and styles that are slightly altered in design for a more fashion-forward twist, whether that be adding feather cuffs to a blouse or putting a spin on a staple shirt dress. Moreover, Tuckernuck offers shoes, accessories and stylish sportswear, too. While you’ll find many in-house Tuckernuck designs, you can also shop plenty of well-known designer brands, from Anine Bing to Loeffler Randall to Pomander Place and many more.

Best Vibrant Prints
2.Farm Rio
Why We Like It
- gorgeous vibrant patterns
- bold, vibrant prints
- impeccable craftsmanship
Why We Don’t Like It
- limited size range
Farm Rio
This cheerful Brazilian brand actually sells some pieces through Anthropologie, but there are many more exclusive to its brand website. Sustainability and the spirit of Rio de Janeiro are paramount toFarm Rio’saesthetic. Here you’ll find vibrant prints, bold colors and mixed patterns a plenty. Prices are slightly higher than Anthro, with dresses coming in between $200 and $300 (although there are some styles under $100), but the craftsmanship is impeccable and you’d be hard pressed to find prints more fun. Farm Rio currently offers sizes XS to XL, but fingers crossed it expands into plus sizes soon.

Best ‘90s Style
3.Madewell
Why We Like It
- inclusive size range
- utilitarian, laidback style
- affordable
Why We Don’t Like It
- could have better sustainable practices
Madewell
Madewell definitely has a more utilitarian feel than Anthropologie—its leather goods, denim and chore jackets are more down to earth than Anthro’s floaty frocks and wide-leg pants—but there are a number ofblouses,dressesandskirtsthat would blend in there well. Right now, Madewell has a whole host of dainty floral patterns and tiered midi dresses you’ll likely love, as well as some fun jewelry worth checking out. Most items are under $200, and most tops are under $120, and sizes range from an XXS to 3X (or 00 to 22) with options to choose between various fits and lengths, too.

Best for a Capsule Wardrobe
4. Jenni Kayne
What We Like
- Cali-coastal staples
- minimalist looks and capsule wardrobe pieces
- seasonless designs
What We Don’t Like
- pricey
Jenni Kayne
If you’re not already familiar with Jenni Kayne, the brand is most known for Cali-coastal staples like cashmere crewnecks, slip dresses and T-shirts. In other words, wardrobe minimalists and capsule wardrobe collectors will adore these luxe selects that are seasonless. As the brand likes to say, getting dressed should be simple, not a chore, so Jenni Kayne pieces are designed to elevate your style and make you feel like a million bucks while keeping refined and comfortable. The brand also continues to implement sustainable practices, such as producing some of the best materials and ethically sourced fabrics, including 100 percent linen, cotton and cashmere. These practices and textiles make the clothes pricier, but you’re paying for better quality and longer-lasting, durable pieces. TLDR? Looking for a classic, clean and timeless wardrobe? Jenni Kayne’s got you covered.

Best Dainty Frocks
5.Dôen
Why We Like It
- unique silhouettes and patterns
- free returns
- bohemian inspired
Why We Don’t Like It
- pricey
Dôen
This floaty boho brand has something of a cult following in SoCal, and it’s been gaining in popularity across the country over the past few years as well.Dôen’sdainty printed dresses sell out pretty quickly, so we suggest you buy what you like ASAP (you can always return it with free shipping if it doesn’t work out). The frocks, tops and sleepwear don’t come cheap—almost everything sits between $100 and $400—but the pieces are beautiful and will garner you a ton of compliments, guaranteed. You can also often find Dôen clothes on resale sites like Poshmark or ThredUp in great condition if you’re looking for a lower price point.
For the Naturalist
6. Garnet Hill
Why We Like It
- fine natural fibers
- designs inspired and derived from nature
- includes kids and home items
Why We Don’t Like It
- $9 return shipping fee
Garnet Hill
Think of Garnet Hill as a one-stop shop for the finest natural fibers and softest cotton flannel sheets. The company runs on the belief that “goodness lives in every fiber of who we are,” which drives the brand’s designs, which feature high-quality pieces derived from nature. Think: unbelievably soft cashmere sweaters, warm coats, patterned sleepwear and boho skirts that remind us of Anthropologie’s soft and delicate nature. Not to mention, there’s a kids shop and home and bedding section, too. Sizing of the clothes typically runs between XS to XL or 0 to 18, and the site includes helpful size, fit and fabric details for every garment. You can expect the prices to range between $100 to $200, though they can run upwards of $400 depending upon the fabric and style.

What We Like

What We Don’t Like

Show Me Your Mumu
Sparkly sequins, retro jumpsuits, bridesmaids dresses, beachwear cozy knits and boho frocks…you can have it all at Show Me Your Mumu, the online clothing brand based in Venice, California, that was started by two friends. The prices are similar to Anthropologie’s and typically range between $100 and $200 with some noteworthy finds way below $100. What’s more, they have a myriad of causal, everyday options and elegant, evening wear available, so you can go from shop for almost any occasion.

For the Vintage Lover
What We Like
- pledged to treat workers and adopt sustainability practices to better the planet
- ethically made clothing

What We Don’t Like
- styles tend to sell out fairly quickly
Christy Dawn
This sustainably and ethically made clothing line is great for those looking to make their wardrobes more eco-friendly.Christy Dawnis a spectacular place to pick up a trendy new nap dress orbreezy blousein beautiful rich hues and dainty prints.

There’s also akids lineif your daughter or niece is often envious of your outfits.

Best Dreamy Silhouettes
What We Like
- minimalistic silhouettes
- muted color palettes
- reasonably priced
What We Don’t Like
- few bold or bright prints
& Other Stories
This Swedish retailer has a similarly dreamy vibe to Anthro, but is more pared back in terms of color palette and design. There are fewer bold prints or super bright colors to be found, but lace detailing and delicate buttons are definitely part of the& Other Storieswheelhouse. In fact, we’d venture to say it’s like a combination of Everlane and Anthropologie, combining sophisticated, minimalist basics and special, vintage-inspired pieces. The brand also sellsshoes,bagsandbeauty, and sizes run from 0 to 12 or XS to L, depending on the item. Most everything is under $300, making this a nice alternative for those who don’t want to spend a ton, and & Other Stories has also been slowly but surely improving its sustainability efforts over the past few years.

10. Shopbop
Why We Like It
- high-end, high-profile brands
- plenty of variety
- free returns
Why We Don’t Like It
- sizing could be more inclusive
SHOPBOP
Folks of all different personal styles can find something they’ll love atShopbop, including those with an elevated boho sense. We suggest checking out theFashion Finds Under $200section for more affordable options (sitewide prices range from under 100 bucks up into the low four-digit range), or look throughOur Favoritespage for more trend-focused pulls. You can also shop by brand—Ulla Johnson(as seen above),For Love and Lemons,CleobellaandShoshannashould all fit the bill, but there are others for you to explore as well. And while Shopbop has yet to branch into plus-size, it’s begun offering extended sizes for certain pieces, so will hopefully continue in the same direction.

Best Boho Frocks
11.Free People
Why We Like It
- dreamy Boho aesthetic
- functional activewear collection
Why We Don’t Like It
- may not suit those who prefer tailored, minimalistic fits
Free People
Free People, Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters are all owned by the same parent company, so it should come as no surprise that there is some definite overlap in style notes between all three. We think UO is best for home goods (more on that later), but Free People is a great place to pick up boho dresses, pants and blouses. Prices are typically a bit more affordable than Anthro, but this isn’t always the case, as some specialty frocks can run you upward of $400. Our favorite pieces to shop are FP’sfloaty maxis,easy basicsandactivewear. And while Free People offers sizes XS through XL, many pieces are designed to have an oversize fit, so if you’re new to the brand we highly suggest reading the reviews to get a better sense of which size will fit you how you want.

For a Seaside Vacation
12.Mara Hoffman
Why We Like It
- partners with organizations like Blue Business Council and Canopy to protect the environment
- chic swimwear and dramatic ready-to-wear pieces
- inclusive sizing
Why We Don’t Like It
- pricey
Mara Hoffman
Mara Hoffman is another eco-conscious brand, although it is more high-end than most of the others on this list. Its perhaps best-known for its chic swimwear, but the brand also makes gorgeous ready-to-wear pieces, often in subtly dramatic silhouettes (like large balloon sleeves, maxi lengths and bold color-blocking). Although Mara Hoffman has been steadily expanding its plus-size options, withmost items going up to a size 3Xfrom an XXS, not everything is available above an XL. If you go to Anthropologie to find pieces that’ll make you feel like you’re on a luxurious seaside vacation someplace like Positano or Santorini, get ready to fall in love with Mara Hoffman.

Best French-Inspired Pieces
13.Sézane
Why We Like It
- beautiful feminine aesthetic is to die for
- Parisian-inspired designs
Why We Don’t Like It
- does not offer plus sizes
Sézane
This French brand has a very grown-up, feminine aesthetic, with plenty of ruffles, florals and puff-sleeves, but also a tailored, posh approach.Sézane’sfans, of which there are many, go there in search ofdelicate knitsandParisian-inspired dresses, but the brand has also expanded intohome goods, with notable items like a monogrammed mug and a ‘Je t’aime’ dish for the kitchen. It is about the same price range as Anthropologie, but unfortunately does not offer plus sizes (it only goes up to a 16 or XXXL).
Best British Staples
14.Boden
Why We Like It
- offers clothing styles for the whole family
- endless styles and patterns
- “forever” pieces
Why We Don’t Like It
- quality of the material can vary per reviews
This British fashion brand has endless styles and patterns with modest lengths in its arsenal. While there are trendy picks available, Boden is best known for classic, wear-forever pieces. The site has shopping options forwomen,men,kidsandbabiesso you can shop for the whole family. The brand's sustainability pledge includes aiming to be carbon neutral and have 80 percent of products made using sustainable materials by 2025, so you can do less shopping and keep the pieces for years to come.

Best Trendy Furniture
Why We Like It
- lower price points for vintage-inspired clothing and decor items
- eclectic designs
- large selection of products
Why We Don’t Like It
- restocking fee on select furniture items
Urban Outfitters
We mentioned Urban Outfitters earlier as being owned by the same parent company as Anthro. While the brand’s clothes tend to lean younger and edgier than Anthropologie’s sophisticated bohemia, we think UO is a fabulous place to hunt for Anthro-esque home goods rather than blouses. Thefurnitureandbeddingin particular have a similar vintage feel, but are often much less expensive. So if you’re looking to redo your bedroom (or living room or kitchen) sometime soon, we suggest looking here first before you splurge at Anthropologie.

Target
Ah, Target, how we love you so. Of course this one-stop shop for anything and everything would have Anthro-worthy decor included in its offerings. While you can find boho chic pieces scattered across the store, it’s theOpalhouseline that we specifically recommend checking out. There are tons of adorable little pieces likecandlesandthrow pillowsto place about your home, but the line also includesfurnitureandwall decor. And, being Target, prices are super affordable, meaning you won’t have to blow your whole budget on one fabulous side table.

17.Terrain
Why We Like It
- a fabulous mix of real plants and beautiful plant vessels
- outdoor furniture
- lower price point
Why We Don’t Like It
- limited interior goods options
TERRAIN
Terrain is actually part of the Anthropologie/Free People/Urban Outfitters family. It focuses mostly on outdoor furniture and luxe garden goods, but you can easily use many pieces indoors as well. There are woven baskets, hanging light pendants, dried flower bouquets (and vases) andreal plants(and pots) to decorate your home, inside and out. Terrain also hits a lower price point than almost all of Anthro’s furniture pieces, which is a major bonus for you and your wallet.
Shop Terrain Standouts
Oliver Bonas actually sells both home goods and clothing, but it’s the selection of eclectic wares that we really love most. The brand is best for stocking up onsmaller goods, liketableware,candlesand otheraccessories. Pretty much everything is under $100, meaning you can go ham adding lots of brightly colors to your cart without worry of going way over budget.

Best Neutral-Toned Furniture
Why We Like It
- wide selection of styles
- range of prices
- neutral and earthy color tones
Why We Don’t Like It
- lack of bright, vibrant aesthetics
Lulu and Georgia
Lulu and Georgia has a wide range of pieces ranging from under $18 up into the four-digit range, but a lot of its selection could easily fit into an Anthro x Restoration Hardware catalog living room featuring a plethora of neutral and earthy color tones. The site has sections dedicated to mid-century, farmhouse, modern, industrial and artisanfurniture, so you can really pin-point what it is you love about Anthropologie’s selection and then search for complementary or similar styles, often at similar—but sometimes higher—price tags, here.

Best Artisan Furniture
Why We Like It
- access to artisanal pieces from many different countries
- curated unique gems
- affordable
Why We Don’t Like It
- unique items may not be to everyone’s taste or home decor
The Artisan Variety
The Artisan Variety is actually a collective of lots of artisans across multiple countries, including Bangladesh, Kenya, Senegal and India. It’s kind of like if someone created a beautifully curated Etsy shop just for Anthropologie fans. While it doesn’t have much in the way of furniture, The Artisan Variety does have plenty of tablewares, garden goodies and decorative vases, baskets and throws to choose from. Prices are generally under $200, and you can feel good knowing your purchases go toward helping artists across the world earn a better living for themselves and their families.
