Let's be honest: Most of us seem to be seeking out looks that scream wealth without breaking the bank. Unsurprisingly, the obsession with all things quiet luxury is still going strong, no matter how many times we've heard the now-ubiquitous term. There is nothing like the confidence boost you get when you are wearing a great outfit that gives off a rich vibe (or the boost you get from all the compliments when you are out and about in one of these looks).
When I wear certain pieces, friends start doling out comments like "You look so rich in that" or something to that effect. Any time this happens, I make sure I take a mental note of the key part of the outfit so I can replicate the vibe in the future. For spring, this has looked like everything from trendy cinched blazers to woven bags and slingback heels. Scroll on to check out six key pieces guaranteed to give any outfit a rich-looking feel—all but one piece is under $300.
Linen Pants
It's officially linen-pant season, and the options are endless when it comes to colors and styles. White and neutral are the usual go-tos, but don't overlook gray and black options, which are just as chic.

Cinched blazers instantly elevate any look and transform the silhouette in the chicest of ways. Wear them with everything from jeans to linen pants to skirts.

One surefire way to make an outfit look more expensive is with a chic pair of slingback heels. The kitten-heel height is trending, and this style comes in a variety of colorways.

Boatneck tops are a versatile forever favorite. They make for an elevated swap to your usual T-shirt or tank top and can be easily dressed up or down.
