27 Jackets, Jeans, and Shoes That Look Much More Expensive Than $100
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.

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.
You can always count on Everlane to make great expensive-looking basics.
You never really know how much a puffer costs (some are even wildly expensive), so keep 'em guessing.
Cropped jackets and high-waisted things are a match made in fashion heaven.
JEANS
Shop the jeans:
Don't sleep on & Other Stories' new denim collection—this is the pair that's selling out.
The latest arrival in Everlane's denim collection might be the best yet. (Side note: Black jeans always look more expensive.)
SHOES
Shop the shoes:
These leather mules are versatile and timeless (i.e. worth every penny).
If you divulge to anyone that these are $100, they definitely won't believe you.
