As a fashion editor, I happen to do a lot of online window-shopping. I'm shopping for stories most of the time, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I sometimes end up diverting and picking out things for myself. While updating my wardrobe this year, I've been eyeing a variety of luxe items. I wish I could add every designer item that catches my eye to my cart, but my wallet (and self-control) wouldn't allow it. My recent shopping endeavors have been consisting of finding those expensive-looking items at cheaper price points. My go-to destinations? H&M, COS, and & Other Stories. While all three vary in price points, they all have a great offering in everything I want to add to my wardrobe, from classics like great blazers to of-the-moment silhouettes like oversize bomber jackets.
I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't share my finds with you, so you can keep scrolling and join in on my shopping fun. Whether you want to add the luxe-looking items below to your current wish list or are just curious to see what I found on my deep dive, keep reading to shop them all.
