Three things that are sure to ruin any good outfit are cheap-looking, shoes, jeans, or jackets, all of which no fall wardrobe is complete without. But avoiding "cheap-looking" fashion items doesn't necessarily mean spending more money. As we say often here at Who What Wear, not all expensive-looking things are actually expensive. And I'm here to prove it.
In coming up with this story, I focused on jeans, jackets, and shoes because these three things are often focal points of a fall outfit and they're not all that easy to find for under-$100, so I thought I'd help with that. I scoured the internet and am happy to say that I was successful in my search. These 27 items are ones that you'll wear over and over, lowering the cost per wear even more. And they're as stylish as can be.
Keep scrolling to shop my jacket, jeans, and shoes edit, filled with brands like H&M, Mango, and Levi's.
JACKETS
Shop the jackets:
I strongly advise getting your hands on this beauty before it sells out (and it will).
You've probably noticed by now that faux leather jackets can look deceptively expensive.
A tan coat is always a safe, chic bet.
You can always count on Everlane to make great expensive-looking basics.
Call me biased but this looks really expensive!
The sherpa collar is what makes this one so special.
You never really know how much a puffer costs (some are even wildly expensive), so keep 'em guessing.
A blazer makes the perfect fall jacket.
Cropped jackets and high-waisted things are a match made in fashion heaven.
JEANS
Shop the jeans:
If you're like me, you're going to think about these amazing jeans a lot.
Don't sleep on & Other Stories' new denim collection—this is the pair that's selling out.
These distressed jeans would look amazing with slouchy sweaters.
The latest arrival in Everlane's denim collection might be the best yet. (Side note: Black jeans always look more expensive.)
Nothing can stand between me and a pair of pleated jeans.
You deserve a pair of fun jeans (which these are), too.
Per usual, Levi's is bringing us all the trends.
These are very popular but the petite sizes are still readily available.
Sorry (but not actually sorry) for the Levi's overload.
SHOES
Shop the shoes:
So many great trends are happening here.
From the square toe to the croc embossing, these are perfect.
I gasped a little when I came across these new arrivals.
These leather mules are versatile and timeless (i.e. worth every penny).
One of the many pairs of shoes I want from Mango right now.
Snag these chic boots while they're majorly on sale.
The little chain detail is so cute.
If you divulge to anyone that these are $100, they definitely won't believe you.
I clearly love a chain embellishment these days.
