Posted onAuthorComments Off on I’ve Analysed Everything, and These 30 High-Street Buys Look the Most Expensive
How do you find expensive-looking summer buys on the high street? After working in fashion for quite some time, it’s now pretty much instinct on what I think looks good and what I know could pass off as a designer piece. However, after selecting the following 30 affordable items, there are definitely a few boxes I need ticking to ensure that they look as expensive as possible. My number one rule is look at the material. A non man made fibre is ideal. Cotton, lyocell and linen are always materials I look to for that more luxe-looking sheen, especially for during the warmer months. The next tip is the silhouette of the piece. Does it fit with current trends that have come straight off the spring/summer 2021 catwalk? If so, I tend to think they look more designer. That said, classic items such as blazers and shirt dresses in muted tones will also give you a more riche look.
While most of the items below are quite simple, elegant pieces that could easily be mistaken for much more luxe labels, there are a still a couple of bolder looks that I’ve included. The main reason being the remind me of brands that are more expensive and will make your outfit stand out. Keep scrolling for more.
