An expensive-looking wardrobe doesn’t mean a closet stocked full of actually expensive items. In fact, it’s actually quite simple to create high-end-feeling looks on a budget if you incorporate affordable (but elevated) pieces into your ensembles. To highlight further, I’m showcasing 46 of the cheapest and chicest staples that can be mixed and matched with other items in your arsenal to create top-notch outfits.
So without further ado, shop the coolest under-$75 pieces out there below, separated by category from tops to dresses to shoes. But you better act fast, the must-haves in question are already starting to sell out—and could easily be gone by next month. So enough talking and more shopping.
