IDK About You, But I'm Upgrading My Basics—30 Expensive-Looking Styles From Zara, H&M, and Nordstrom
We all know how fun a little retail therapy can be. However, the reality is that swiping that card can quickly add up. I am all for investing in solid pieces, especially buys I'll get a lot of wear out of, but a few quality retailers like H&M, Zara, and Nordstrom are stocking expensive-looking basics that are surprisingly affordable. I've highlighted 30 stylish pieces that scream sophistication.
Keep scrolling to uncover lovely staple basics that won't break the bank. From elevated tops that give off a designer feel to simple dresses with unique details, there's a slew of beautiful styles that could be easily confused for high-ticket items. Scoop these pieces up while they're available because finds like these rarely stay in stock long.
