3 Cheap(ish) Elevated Finds That Will Make Your Closet Look More Expensive

No matter the season, I am always striving to bring my outfits to the next level without breaking the bank. As a fashion editor and professional shopper I've learned how to pull this off without stress. When piecing together an elevated rotation of outfits, some affordable rich-looking pieces can do much of the heavy lifting with very little effort. Whenever I come across a standout while shopping, adding it to my cart is a no-brainer.
This winter there are three key pieces that I have my eye on that get the job done: sleek trousers, a polished long coat, and chic pieces with a built-in scarf. Thankfully, the selection across my favorite retailers is abundant in the under-$150 range. Keep scrolling to shop my top picks across these three elevated categories that are guaranteed to make your closet look more expensive.
Sleek Trousers
A sleek trouser is an instant way to elevate any look. Pair your favorite style and color with everything from sweaters and blazers to a basic T-shirt.
Shop Trousers:
Polished Long Coats
A long coat in a black, gray, or neutral hue, has the power to transform even the most casual of looks into an ensemble with an undeniably rich-looking feel.

Pieces With Built-In Scarves
I don't know what it is about a built-in scarf, but, to me, it just looks so effortless with a coat or sweater. Not to mention that the style is incredibly convenient on a chilly day.
