We are coming off the summer of quiet luxury. Sofia Richie Grainge got married, and the rest of us went out and bought ballet flats and put Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc all over our wedding Pinterest boards. The obsession with understated elegance and looking expensive without screaming it is still very much alive and well, and the fashion crowd (myself included) is leaning in even further for fall. My aesthetic for this season is all about looking as elevated as possible without actually overspending on every piece in my closet. I rounded up 31 chic pieces for fall that will have your friends thinking you moved into a new tax bracket.
You can thank me later. Scroll down to see which affordable but expensive-looking pieces have my attention for fall.
