As a fashion editor, I have a keen eye for spotting expensive-looking details. Since I spend hours a day looking at both designer pieces and affordable buys online, I've gotten well acquainted with certain details that happen to look really luxe. It could be the wide cut of a blazer, a wrinkle-immune fabric like plissé, a bias-cut silhouette, or a rich espresso-like hue. Regardless, I pride myself on spotting these elevated finds at even the most affordable price points, and today, I'm sharing 42 such buys from none other than Nordstrom.
If given the option, you'd want to avoid looking "cheap," even if your clothing budget says otherwise, right? (Speaking from personal experience, my shopping receipts are between me and God.) This is why, on my latest visit toReplica Store's site, I curated a bunch of cool finds that low-key look triple their price. While many of these pieces fall around or under the $100 mark, I wouldn't blame you for assuming otherwise.
The epitome of a "buy now, wear forever" piece.
Trendy but not too trendy.
