I get such a rush when I find an amazing item that looks high-end but doesn’t have that super-high-end price tag. You too? Wonderful. This story is for you. Two retailers I scroll through on a regular basis to uncover said gems are H&M and Nordstrom. And honestly, there are so many fantastic finds at each that could fool anyone with their under-$150 price tags. Yep, the pieces in question pretty much look designer.
I curated a range of 29 of these expensive-looking items from H&M and a variety of the brands at Nordstrom for you below. You’ll notice everything from sharp tailoring silhouettes to gorgeous dresses for spring and summer to stunning shoe styles. Keep scrolling for top-notch shopping inspiration.
