I'm not going to lie. I like my outfits to look expensive. Give me a Loro Piana and Prada-filled wardrobe any day. I may not have the budget for daily designer looks, but I do, however, have a great eye for stylish fashion items that look expensive but aren't. (There's a reason I'm a fashion market editor.) This week, I did what I do best and scoured through all our favorite online brands, designers, and retailers to bring you the crème de la crème of seasonal buys that not only look expensive but are also fashion-forward. Best of all, every piece carries a price tag of $100 or under. Take a look below as I share my absolute favorite luxe-looking finds you won't regret buying this season. If you think these affordable pieces—from chic boots to elevated basics and luxe accessories—look designer, I wouldn't blame you.
This asymmetric knit looks so elevated.
A chic black belt will pull together an outfit in an instant.
