There is a common misconception that it takes a large budget to put together a stylish, expensive-looking wardrobe. With a little bit of time and the help of a well-trained eye (aka us Who What Wear editors), you will be stepping out of the house with an unmistakable rich-girl vibe in no time. You'll also have that lasting satisfaction of finding a stellar piece that only looks expensive. Enter the results of my latest scouring of the internet for the chicest pieces that do just that.
The key to searching for finds that give off a wealthy feel is to focus on elevated basics that have a timeless and polished presentation. This can be anything from a chic long coat to classic jeans, minimalist sweaters, effortless heels, and much more. What's great is that you will be able to mix and match most—if not all—of these finds together to create a cohesive outfit rotation. Keep scrolling to peruse 31 chic, rich-looking pieces worth adding to your closet—everything with the exception of one standout coat is under $200.
