When it comes to fashion, I'll admit that my sartorial preferences don't quite reflect my available bank balance. I always seem to be drawn to those low-key luxurious designer pieces—sumptuous fabrics, sophisticated silhouettes, elevated styles—that tend to carry a hefty price tag. In other words, I have "expensive taste, small budget" syndrome. And I know I'm probably not alone.
Fortunately, as WWW's fashion market editor, it's my job to test and see every new-season trend and product as soon as it hits the market, and you'd be right in thinking I have a running list of trend-forward items on my computer that not only look luxurious but also carry favorable price tags. Today, I wanted to share some of these trending spring pieces that undoubtedly look expensive and, more importantly, don't cost a fortune.
