These Pieces Look and Feel Like Luxury, But They're All Under $250

As someone who's perpetually on a budget but has expensive taste, I have become pretty adept at finding pieces that feel like luxury without breaking the bank. Wanting to dress from head to toe in the likes of The Row and Khaite and not being able to afford it isn't going to stop me from trying. Thankfully, there are a plethora of expensive-looking items under $250 that curb those designer cravings.
The key is to keep an eye out for pieces with luxe-looking details like a tailored fit, natural fabrics, and leather-like materials. Beyond that, I search for options that are inspired by the latest designer collections without the price tag. Nordstrom, H&M, Zara, and Mango happen to be some of my favorite haunts in this regard.
