While it's rare that my boarding passes are ever imprinted with the words first class on them, that doesn't mean I can't have a first-class wardrobe. In fact, I'm a firm believer that we can achieve an elegant, rich-looking aesthetic with our outfits without having to spend a hefty sum. Today, I wanted to share some of my recent spring finds that ooze wealth, sophistication, and unquestionably say "first-class traveler." The best part? They all clock in at under $150. If you're looking for a wealthy-looking wardrobe without paying top dollar, then take a look at these chic picks below, from buttermilk tailored pieces to chic linen vests and sleek, minimalistic sandals.
