8 Items Our Editors Are Wearing That Look Luxurious But Don't Exceed $70

Not to sound biased or anything, but dang do my fellow editors know how to dress. Welcome to the latest episode of our editor try-on series in which we showcase our expert styling capabilities and highlight the newest pieces from our namesake clothing line. If you're familiar with these posts, then just keep scrolling to get your download of the latest affordable shopping picks and how to style them. But if you happen to be new here, then let me fill you in. 

As a refresher, we drop new pieces for our Who What Wear line each month, and today's roundup highlights the pretty dresses, chic jackets, and comfy loungewear from the November collection. Even though nothing rings up for more than $70 (with most pieces in the $40 range), the cool looks our editors put together are making these affordable buys look like they're straight-up luxury items, no lie. Ahead, see how we each wear our picks, and then shop our favorites if you're so inspired.

Okay, I'll admit that I'm not much of a dress person but wow is this is a stunner. There's a lot to love here from the pretty puff sleeves to the easy-to-wear print and sultry leg slit but all of those details aside, it's the fabric for me. It's got a bit of stretch to it so it's weirdly way more comfortable than you'd expect for a dressier piece like this—a very 2020 holiday party dress, if you ask me. I'm already planning to repeat this styling with leather knee boots and a gold necklace for Thanksgiving dinner.

This isn't a regular puffer, it's a cool puffer. With a shiny, patent finish that just looks so elevated, I can already imagine myself wearing this jacket on repeat to make all my winter outfits pop. In fact, I already test-drove it on a particularly frigid early winter day in Ohio and it kept me nice and toasty. Plus, it comes with a removable tie waist if you're into a more nipped-in look.

"I'm a sucker for cozy sweaters, and this white crew neck one had me the moment I saw it. It's not only incredibly soft, but the bell sleeves are so intricate that it looks way more expensive than it actually is. And it's super easy to style. Since receiving it, I've styled it with everything from leather pants to skirts and jeans. If you're only looking to buy one sweater for the winter, this should defiantly be a contender."

"Nothing says cozy season to me like a cable knit sweater. I'm not too hard to please on this particular item, but I do prefer a more relaxed material over a super-stiff one. This sweater hits the perfect balance. The knit is pretty loose so it feels comfortable while still providing all the structure you want from a winter sweater."

"I've always been a sucker for a printed pant, as it's an easy way to elevate the basics in your closet. This one mixes in fall hues perfectly, while also keeping me warm and comfortable."

"This faux-fur coat is soft. So soft that I really want a blanket made from the same material. I love that it makes a statement, and doesn't require too much else besides basic jeans and a tee to make an eye-catching outfit."

"Some of my baggy, basic sweatpants make me feel a bit sloppy, and even when I'm just hanging out at home, that's not really a look I'm going for. Besides having a cute paper bag waist, these sweatpants look considerably more polished than sloppy, especially since you're kind of forced to tuck whatever top you're wearing with them in. I paired them with this cute sweatshirt (also Who What Wear) that's basically the softest thing you'll ever put on. And who doesn't love a comfy matching set?"

Wearing: Who What Wear Balloon Sleeve Sweatshirt ($30) and Joggers ($30); Clegerie Gillief Loafers ($695)

"I love basics with a twist, and this top is exactly that. A T-shirt finished with faux-leather puff sleeves, it's the ultimate upgrade to your standard tee. Paired with ripped jeans and slingbacks, it's an easy outfit formula to wear on repeat."
