I'm not going to lie. I like my outfits to look expensive. Give me a Loro Piana– and Prada-filled wardrobe any day. I may not have the budget for daily designer looks, but I do, however, have a great eye for stylish fashion items that look expensive but aren't. (There's a reason I'm a fashion market editor.) This week, I did what I do best and scoured through all our favorite online brands, designers, and retailers to bring you the crème de la crème of seasonal buys that not only look expensive but are also fashion-forward. Best of all, every piece carries a price tag of $100 or under. Take a look below as I share my absolute favorite luxe-looking finds you won't regret buying this season. If you think these affordable pieces—from chic boots to elevated basics and luxe accessories—look designer, I wouldn't blame you.

This asymmetric knit looks so elevated.

A chic black belt will pull together an outfit in an instant.

Sleek and bold silver earrings are a must this season.

This draped blouse looks so luxe.

Gray tailored trousers are a fall/winter 2023 essential.

Silver cuff bracelets are having a major moment this season.

Lean into the It color of the season—fiery red.

Effortlessly chic jeans for under $50? Sign me up.

I own Zara's Full Length Pleated Pants in practically every color.

A silky slip skirt will take you from day to night in style.

These slingbacks will add a chic touch to every outfit.

There's something about a charcoal-gray crew-neck that oozes luxury vibes.

These look like they came straight off the runway.

A silky black slip dress you can dress up or down.

Sleek shades for the winter sun.

Moto boots are everywhere this season, and I finally found an affordable and elevated pair.

Just add knee-high boots, and cinch the waist with a belt.

No one will believe it's under $90.

This will go with literally everything.

Wear from meetings to margaritas in style.
