30 Under $30: The Best Expensive-Looking Items That Are Anything But
If you're an avid Who What Wear reader, chances are you appreciate luxury but love a good deal. At least, that's the case for me. Of course, there's always a time and a place for buying that designer purse you've been lusting over or investing in those shoes you've been eyeing, but I believe it's important to balance out expensive luxury pieces with affordable luxe-looking pieces. For this reason, I'm always looking for timeless pieces to add to my wardrobe, whether costly or not. I've found that you can find affordable quality items almost everywhere, but you need to know where to look.
Stores like Zara and H&M are great places to start, but you may not have the time to dive-deep into the hundreds of accessories on its website. That's where I come in. I've scrolled pages upon pages of affordable accessories to find ones that are actually worth your time. Of course, I included picks from the staple brands for cheap accessories, but I also rounded up some items from places you might not have expected. Believe it or not, even Amazon has tons of luxe-looking things under $30 if you look hard enough. Plus, stores that aren't necessarily known for inexpensive accessories, like Shopbop and Revolve, have sale options that fit into the category. Ahead, you'll find 30 luxury-looking items that fall under $30.
Amazon is a treasure trove for luxe-looking affordable accessories. These faux-fur mittens are proof.
Leg warmers are so on-trend right now, and this luxe-looking pair will keep you warm without breaking the bank.
Affordable sunglasses can be hard to find, but these round shades feel high-quality and are currently marked down to $16.
