26 Cheap Tops That Actually Look Expensive
I’ll be the first to admit that I hate spending a lot of money on tops. I’m not sure why, but on the list of priorities among which to distribute my shopping budget, tops are near the end, coming after jeans, outerwear, shoes, and bags, but maybe ahead of sweaters and jewelry.
Perhaps it’s because of all the items we wear and buy, tops feel the most susceptible to the ever-changing trend cycle and thus are riskier to purchase. No one wants to spend all their money on a "trendy” top only for it to feel dated weeks later. That’s why, unless it’s a basic or super-classic style, I tend to stick to the cheaper end of the spectrum when buying shirts, blouses, and anything else in the category. Luckily, doing so is easy thanks to some of my favorite brands and sites. So to shop 26 cheap tops I’m loving now and for the months ahead, just keep scrolling.
Lingerie-inspired details are about to be everywhere for spring, so this top is a wise choice.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
