SHOP THESE FASHION BRANDS IF YOU WANT TO LOOK EXPENSIVE

Introduction:

Your personal style is one of the most power forms of self-expression and should be considered an investment in yourself, but you don't need to break the bank to achieve an expensive look. There are many fashion brands out there offering high-quality, luxury-like clothes that look expensive at affordable prices. In this article I have rounded up my top five favorite fashion brands that look expensive (but actually aren’t). You ladies will fall in love with these brands as you find pieces to create the illusion of expensive outfits and have you looking like a well-dressed woman.

1. The Drop

Because I am a self-proclaimed Amazon Fashion enthusiast, I had to start us off with one of my favorite luxury-like brands to shop on Amazon, The Drop. It’s a private label fashion brand owned by Amazon that features both timeless closet staples and limited edition trends alike. If you appreciate the convenience of two-day shipping, free returns, and are ready to be amazed by quality clothes that you didn’t know existed on Amazon Fashion, The Drop is the fashion brand for you.

Pros: Fast shipping and hassle-free returns

Cons: Limited edition items sell out quickly

2. H&M

H&M is one of the most affordable fashion brands that I have come across with a talent for producing high-quality clothes that look expensive. You will appreciate the fact that the average price point is around $20 (USD) and you can buy complete outfits for under $100 (USD). Their price tag isn’t the only draw though, they top the list for variety too. Whether you’re shopping for streetwear, workwear, or activewear, H&M offers a wide range of styles making it an easy brand to shop for all of your clothing needs.

Pros: Affordability, wide range of styles

Cons: Popular sizes sell out quickly

3. Zara

Zara is perhaps one of the most well-known fashion brands across the globe. They offer luxury-like tops under $50 (USD) and jeans, trousers, and dresses under $100 (USD). There are a multitude of different styles and aesthetics on Zara’s website ranging from old money to super trendy and everything in between, which means you are bound to find something you love no matter what your personal style is.

Pros: Styles and sizes for everyone

Cons: Website can be complex

4. Mango

With a variety of elevated basics under $100 (USD) to shop, Mango earned it’s spot at #4 of the fashion brands to shop if you want to look expensive. Not only are their pieces versatile enough to incorporate into your capsule wardrobe, but the company’s strong commitment to quality makes each piece well worth the money and one that will last for years to come.

Pros: Simple and minimal style, timeless and versatile

Cons: Pricier than other affordable fashion brands

5. ASOS

ASOS is an online retailer that offers a compilation of reputable fashion brands along with their own private label. With such a wide selection of brands, styles, and price points, ASOS is the place to shop if you love to create high-low outfits that will elevate your style. This fashion brand currently offers over 11,000 different style dresses for under $50 (USD), hundreds of heel styles under $40 (USD), and handbags averaging $20 (USD).

Pros: Sell other popular brands on their website

Cons: High end items mixed in with affordable options

Conclusion:

The art of dressing like a high-value woman and looking expensive is based on the quality of the clothing and the way you present them, not on the brand name or price tag. These five fashion brands will become your go-to as you elevate your style and piece together outfits that look expensive. I recommend saving your splurge moments for those can’t-live-without heels, handbags, or pair of jeans that hug your curves in all the right places.
