There's nothing like the thrill of unearthing a luxurious-looking fashion item that screams expensive but isn't. It's part of my job to wade through all the newest items from the coolest retailers and brands to bring you only the chicest items worthy of your wallet. If you're into clothing that has that "rich" vibe, then today's shopping picks are just for you.
Included in the mix are elevated essentials that lean into the quiet-luxury aesthetic along with some of the biggest trends of the spring season. Below are my favorite finds from three retailers—Zara, H&M, and Nordstrom—where I've spotted incredibly luxe-looking pieces lately that no one will guess are under $100! And honestly, I can't believe they are either. Keep scrolling because it's an "add to cart" kind of day.
