Chanel Is My Goal, But Zara Is My Budget—Every Item You Need to Get a Luxe Look

The Style StalkerIf I had to choose one fashion designer I could wear for the rest of my life, it would, hands down, be Chanel. My love for the timeless French luxury fashion house runs deep. I always pay close attention to the classic yet evolving styles the brand presents, from its vintage pieces to its seasonal runway shows. Chanel is unquestionably my style goal, but it's safe to say my budget is more aligned with the likes of Zara. Is anyone else with me?
If you're in the same boat as me, then fret not. After plenty of scouring, clicking, and researching, I want to share 52 luxurious-looking items that embody the Chanel aesthetic perfectly but don't cost a fortune. In fact, all my Chanel-looking picks clock in at under $150. Below, you'll find plenty of effortlessly chic, expensive-looking pieces that will be the answer to all your Chanel desires, including Parisian-inspired items such as slingbacks, tweed separates, and cardigans as well as luxe-looking accessories such as chain belts and quilted bags.

A modern pearl necklace is always a good idea.
