The 5 Prints That Always Look Expensive
When shopping on a budget, it often feels like the easiest choice is to go for the simplest thing, which usually ends up being black. Sure, choosing a plain piece can be a safe bet, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only option. There are actually a handful of prints that always look high-end, even when they’re not. So, if you’re in a pinch and shopping on a time or money budget (or both), it helps to know what those are. As you guessed, that’s exactly what’s coming up.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
