Sorry, but not all clothing basics are made equal. Some are
cheap and look cheap (here’s your guide to what
makes jewelry look cheap), some are expensive and look it, and
even fewer fall into the elusive category of being cheap and
looking expensive. These are the tanks, skirts, boots, and other
wardrobe staples that look undeniably luxe no matter what their
price tags say. I’m not sure about you, but I’ll always choose the
expensive-looking version over the others any day.

So instead of leaving all the guessing up to you, I went ahead
and sourced all the best cheap clothing basics on everyone’s
favorite affordable sites Urban Outfitters, Mango, Reformation, and
ASOS that look twice their price tags. From the chain-link
necklace that looks so luxe to the skinny
jeans that will rake in the compliments, look no further for
the best under-$150 items to buy right now. Don’t tell the people
at these retailers, but I’d shell out way more for these items than
what each is currently listed for.

Seeing
this whole outfit just turned me into a fan of brown.

The
wide straps and subtle square neckline make this plain tank stand
out.

The
kind of basic you should always have on hand.

Accessorizing
your fall outfits with this chunky necklace will make them look way
more luxe.

This
could easily pass as a rare vintage find.

Not
all chunky knits are made equal—this is an especially good
one.

These
feel more special than your average skinny jeans, and Ref shoppers
agree (the black version sold out like lightening).

It’s
all about the ribbed material here.

From
the color to the texture, I can only really describe this dress as
“rich.”

The
kind of classic jeans you’ll have in your closet for years and
years.

This
neckline though.

I
added this to my cart the moment I saw it.

Square
necklines for the win.

This
shape is so unique.

I
honestly can’t believe these are on sale. If you’re smart, you’ll
snatch them up before they sell out.

The
mossy green color and tie waist makes these stand out from every
other faux-leather pant on the market right now.

Another
piece that could easily pass for designer vintage.

This
powder blue shade can make just about anything look luxe.

Not
your average white tank.

Trust
me, you won’t find another leather coat quite this good for under
$100.

Can
you tell I’m swooning hard for all things chocolate brown?

The
high neck is the subtle detail that elevates this top.

This
is giving me Katie Holmes’s viral sweater outfit vibes.

Slouchy
suits exude an elevated elegance like nothing else.

Why
pick one animal print when you can have them all?

Up next: I spot
trends for a living and here’s everything I’m buying for
fall.
