There are a few key stores I consistently turn to if I’m looking for more affordable gems that look highly expensive. Yes, H&M and Nordstrom happen to be two of the retailers in question. I’m constantly amazed at the assortment of picks that look quite luxe, but don’t come with that luxury price tag. On that note, I found quite a smattering of elevated selects during a recent peruse through each of the sites. Naturally, I’m sharing my favorite buys with you.
Below you’ll uncover 29 items to consider if you want something quite forward and chic, but don’t want to spend more than $75 on the said item. Each of the pieces in my edit has that expensive-looking feel thanks to relevant design details and modern cuts. Keep scrolling to check out the best spring items to buy from H&M and Nordstrom right now.
