Praise the shopping gods for the British High Street which often helps us achieve our dreams of living that 'dripping in designer' life at a fraction of the cost.

And while M&S brought us the Manolo Blahnik heels for just £35, Topshop is here to give you the best 'ugly' Balenciaga trainer dupes on the market.

Toppers first released their chunky 'dad' trainers - aka the Ciara Chunky Trainer - earlier this week and the styles have been so popular that they're already selling out.

Designed in a very similar way to Balenciaga's Triple S trainer, £595, these versions are just as chic but at about a 16th of the price, retailing at £38 only.

This is what the fancy designer kicks look like:

So come on, who's on that ugly trainer hype with us right now?

Now that we've got the trainers, the dress from M&S that everyone's going to be wearingand stocked up on designer sunnies we just need the SUN TO COME OUT. And then we're ready for summer.

Cheers.
