When it comes to putting together an expensive-looking wardrobe, many people get caught up in the idea that the pricer the pieces are, the better. I'm here to completely change your mind. With the right pieces, any closet can look designer, regardless of the price tag. It's all in the cut, the fabric, the fit, and, most importantly, the styling. One type of fashion item that almost always achieves an expensive feel is an elevated basic.
One retailer that is well-known for offering stellar elevated basics that only look expensive is H&M. I recently did a deep dive with all this in mind and came up with a plethora of options that fit the bill—all but one piece is under $100. Below, you'll find a chic selection of sweaters, dressed, coats, shoes, and even bags that will easily give you that rich-girl vibe you seek. Make sure to take note of how each piece is styled for the added benefit.
