It's no longer a secret that the key to looking rich has actually very little to do with how much you spend. Rather, your sense of style and the way you put yourself together hold so much more power and can yield an expensive-looking aesthetic at truly any budget. If you ask me, the fastest route to achieving that goal is by sticking to simple, elevated basics that look high-quality and timeless but with a forward touch. From sweaters to skirts to belts, there are so many pieces out there that feel both forever and right now, and if this all starting to sound like word vomit, I’ll get straight to the point. I recently combed through Nordstrom to bring you the absolute best, rich-feeling pieces under $100 this season, and my findings were even better than I was expecting. To see what made the cut, simply keep scrolling.
