You know that feeling when you find something so perfect, you want to live in it? That’s how I felt the first time I slipped into Frank & Eileen Travel Sets. Effortless. Elevated. The kind of set you can wear on a red-eye flight or to your favorite brunch spot and still feel put together.

But here’s the thing—it’s definitely an investment.

Enter: the Amazon dupe. Same vibe, same silhouette, a fraction of the price. And yes, I tried both. (In the name of comfort and research.)

Let’s Talk Details

The Frank & Eileen Set

• Pricey, yes—but here’s why: The fabric is dreamy. It’s 100% cotton, no polyester in sight. It feels luxe, breathable, and holds up beautifully over time. It’s the kind of timeless you’ll wear for years without it ever looking tired.

• Fit: Relaxed, drapey, and just structured enough. You feel like you made an effort, even if you didn’t.

• Vibe: California-cool meets everyday chic. Effortlessly elevated.

The Amazon Dupe

• The price is a huge plus. It’s comfy, soft, and gives you the same put-together look.

• Fabric: A blend with polyester, so not quite as breathable as the OG, but still very wearable.

• Fit: Surprisingly flattering. Not identical, but close enough that it totally works for errands, travel, lounging—you name it.

My Honest Advice?

Try the dupe. Seriously. If you end up living in it (like I did), that might be your sign to invest in the Frank & Eileen version. The dupe is a great way to dip your toe into the look without the big price tag. But if you’re already a sucker for high-quality, breathable fabrics that feel like a gentle hug—go for the real deal. (Check out the latest color Heather White. Pair it with a pop of gold jewelry and gah! Timeless elevated comfort perfection.) 

I’m a fan of both. There’s room in the closet for cozy and budget-friendly and timeless and splurge-worthy. Comfort doesn’t have to be one or the other.
