Lately, it seems like you can't go outside or online without being faced with one hard reality: Prices are high. While the fiscal well-being of each person differs, there's no denying that the rise in the cost of everyday necessities has made most household budgets a bit tighter, making shopping less of a priority. However, just because our belts have tightened doesn't mean that we want to look like things have changed. In fact, one could argue that the cultural interest in fashion aesthetics, such as quiet luxury and old money, is driven by our collective desire to cosplay as the wealthy.

Whatever the rationale, it's quite common among the fashion crowd to want to curate a closet that looks expensive without spending too much money. Of course, that's easier said than done. It can be challenging at times to find chic and cheap items—it's a skill that takes time to build. Lucky for you, that's the point of my job. To help you find the best rich-looking summer finds, I've spent hours searching through the new-arrivals sections of some of our favorite retailers, including J.Crew, Nordstrom, Zara, and H&M. Whether you're looking for a few new summer staples or just want to look like you're a walking stack of cash, any of these 37 rich-looking summer items, all under $250, will do the trick.
