If anyone is able to tell the difference between your $20 tennis bracelet and the real deal, I will be genuinely impressed.
Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. BlankNYC cropped faux leather pants under $100 — aka the trendy wardrobe staple you've been searching for. Everything you own is about to get way cooler styled with these.
Amazon
Promising review: "I love these even more than my jeans. Super comfortable, stylish, true to size. Lots of compliments on them whenever I wear them. You won't regret these!" — Heidi B.
Get them from Amazon for $69+ (available in sizes 24–31 and in five colors).
2. A dazzling stacked ring set not a single soul will believe you got for 20 bucks on Amazon. Nope, it's definitely giving luxe jewelry line vibes. Plus, you also have the option to break up the set and wear the dainty piece and the larger stone separately!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"First, let me say I LOVE THIS RING!!!! I wear it all the time. I've been wearing it for over a month now, and in the beginning, I tried to take it off when doing dishes, showering, and washing my hands. After about two weeks, I just decided to leave it on, and it has been fine. I never take it off; the ring is true to size. It's not too thin or thick, feels great on, and is durable. The only con is that the stones can sometimes look cloudy. Other than that, I love it couldn't be happier, it's great for the price,e and I am very pleased." — tracy k revels
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes 5–10 and in four colors).
3. A sculptural, textured shoulder bag by JW Pei that people might think you paid 10 times the price for from a high fashion house. Is that a good excuse to get it in every color? DUH. According to girl math, you're basically saving money.
JW Pei, Amazon
This hip label is Chinese American- and family-owned and makes its gorgeous (and often designer-brand inspired 👀) bags with vegan leather made from recycled plastic!
Promising review: "This bag looks high-end! I loved the look of this bag online, so I took a chance and purchased it, and I am very happy that I did! The quality is A+, the perfect size, and amazing value for the money. I wore it out for date night with my husband, which helped pull the look together. The bag honestly rivals a few of the high-end designer bags I own. Get it, you won't regret it!" — Chantel Walden
Get it from Amazon for $99+ (available in five colors).
4. Or, if you're looking for something a little smaller and simpler, a posh as heck JW Pei faux-croc crossbody bag featuring an effortlessly chic structure that will give every look the panache of carrying a designer bag — without the designer price tag.
Amazon
Promising review: "Standout bag. Looks and feels designer but way more affordable. Right on trend. Plenty of room for items." — Myra Alejandra
Get it from Amazon for $67.99+ (available in eight styles).
5. An edgy yet professional asymmetrically belted blazer that honestly looks like it could easily be double the price. There will be no question about who the boss is when you strut in wearing this baby.
Eloquii
Get it from Eloquii for $149.95 (available in sizes 14–28).
6. High-fashion-looking chunky droplet earrings offering Bottega vibes without you having to spend Venet- all that cash.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Bottega, who? These are adorable and super close to the original ones! Perfect for work, events, or casual days. They don't get rusty or anything right away (I wore them while walking around in 90 degree weather). Love them and I'm gunna get them in gold too!" — Amazon Customer
Promising review: "Yep..this is it, FINALLY! For those of you who have been searching for the best, affordable, similar looking Bottega [swap], THIS IS IT!! I searched many places and bought from other places but this is the best one out there… I thought the price of these earring was sketchy but NO…it's legit." — Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and 16 colors).
7. Amazingly inexpensive round sunglasses sure to have you looking and feeling groovy for a fraction of the price of their designer counterparts.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
They've got over 13,000 5-star ratings!
Promising review:"I own several pairs of sunglasses from this company and I've had them all for at least six months, and they've been amazing. I was once of the belief that in order to get quality sunglasses, I'd have to get a name brand, but I've been proven wrong. I've owned glasses from every price range, and these are just as good. In fact, I love these because they look just like the Ray-Ban rounds, but the price can't be beat." — Danyal Howard
Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 13 colors).
8. Vintage-inspired embellished Mary Janes from cool, affordable label Circus NY by Sam Edelman. These would be equally dreamy with dresses or jeans — the only tough decision will be between the red velvet, black velvet, silver, and herringbone styles. 🤨
Amazon
Promising reviews: "I do not need these shoes but I want them in every color. They are so cute and comfortable. Love!" — Hill Fam
"Look very posh for the price. They were perfect for my holiday outfits. Pretty comfortable, too." — SD Girl
Get them from Amazon for $67.72+ (available in sizes 6–12 and in four styles).
9. A floral bikini top and matching bottoms giving me major For Love And Lemons vibes — but you can get both pieces for less than the price of one of the splurgier brand's bathing suit tops.
Lulus
Get it from Lulus: the top for $48 and the bottoms for $42 (both available in sizes XS–XL).
10. Or a classic-looking one-piece swimsuit with a posh buckle detail that'll make you feel like a model posing for an oceanside photo shoot. 📸 🤩
Promising review: "Comfortable and practical shape. I wanted a longer length swimsuit that was not halter neckline as I find that pulls on my neck. I wanted one for swimming regularly. Most swimsuits are too low cut or too high cut so you keep having to adjust everything. This one looks gorgeous and fits the bill. The first time I tried it on I missed the belt and it hung down behind me like a tail, so slight issue as there is no clasp to open it. I'm very happy with it overall and would buy again in another color." — Emily
Get it from Boden for $125 (available in sizes 2–22 regular and long and in three styles).
11. A tennis bracelet that could pass for real-deal crystal or diamonds — trust me. This beauty will look so stunning on its own or stacked with other bracelets, and you don't have to worry as much about losing it as you would a splurgier version!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
I just got this beauty for Christmas last year and was BLOWN away. It looks so, so classy, shiny, and REAL!!!! I am someone who wears everything from expensive jewelry to the cheapest of costume stuff, and I'm treasuring this like I do my designer pieces. People seriously ooh and ahh over it and are amazed when I tell them where I got it and for how much — some friends have even bought it for themselves after seeing mine! Like all tennis bracelets, the clasp is a bit pesky, but it feels secure. 100/10 recommend as a gift for yourself or anyone you love!!!!
Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It's 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." — Trysten Walters
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in two styles, three colors, and three sizes).
12. A faux-shearling moto jacket so you can keep looking cool in the cold. This fuzzy bb pretty much makes compliments a guarantee and no one will believe it was under $100!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This jacket is amazing. It looks expensive, is extremely comfortable and warm, yet not too hot. Seriously, I wore it in 60-degree weather and was not too hot. I wore it in -5-degree weather, yes that's right, and I was comfortable. I wore it in my house, and I didn't overheat. There's something about the material. The lining does not shed or flatten. It's thick and spongy like real shearling. It doesn't really attract lint or hair or anything either. I just can't say enough about this." — Huesitos
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 10 colors).
13. A sultry slip dress in a moody floral print that's ideal for warm-weather destination weddings, of course, but I'm also drooling at the thought of tossing it on with a cool jacket and boots for brunch on a chillier day. 😍
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "GORGEOUS AND COMFORTABLE. I am obsessed with this dress! It was sooo comfy! I felt like I was wearing a nightgown." — Astrid Proffitt
"The most comfortable and beautiful dress ever! I received so many compliments and they couldn't believe it was from Amazon! Ordering more colors asap!! I ordered my usual size XL and it was perfect, a little extra room, not baggy at all, but only because of the amount of stretch! Size down if you want a bit more of a fitted look/feel!" — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $49.98 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 18 prints).
14. An incredibly affordable and cool pair of combat boots that are a super convincing Dr. Martens alternative if you're in the market for a totally trusty everyday boot without the splurge. Plus, the side zip means no constantly undoing and redoing the laces!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I wear these boots almost every day. Bought these as an inexpensive version of Doc Marten's boots, because I love the look. Was worried about durability and fit. These have surpassed my expectations! They are super comfortable and easy to dress up and dress down. I wear them on the trails, and I also have dressed them up and worn them into the office. Had them for about seven months now and they are still in perfect condition. Love them!!" — Nicole
Get them from Amazon for $35.09 (available in sizes 5.5–10 and four styles).
15. A jaw-dropping gown complete with a lace-up back, cutouts, tiered ruffles, and a sultry slit that'll have your best dressed title all ~tied up~.
Lulus
Promising reviews: "Honestly, this dress is perfect. Really supportive in the bust, and the material is sturdy while also being fun and shimmery. I got a million compliments on this and cannot wait to wear it again!" — Kelli J.
"The dress was perfect! Easy to move/dance in and I was comfortable the whole night. It is a bit on the longer side, so if you are taller or plan to wear heels, I think you will be fine. For the shorter girlies, you may need to have the bottom hemmed or wear a really high heel. Overall, I got so many compliments and felt beautiful!" — Alyssa K.
Get it from Lulus for $98 (available in sizes XXS–XL and in three colors).
16. A chic blazer with gold buttons that could pass for a more expensive brand, is guaranteed to become a staple in your closet, and will help you ~blaze~ new sartorial trails.
www.amazon.com
Reviewers say it runs small!
Promising review: "For an inexpensive blazer (that [looks like] the $2,500 Balmain version) I don't expect every detail to be perfect, but mine fits me really well and I LOVE how it levels up my outfits. It looks amazing, and my husband thinks so, too. I ordered it in white and wound up buying a second in navy. It's a good value. I'm 5'6" and 152 pounds and the medium looks tailored, not slouchy. Size up only if you want an oversized look." — SuzieMac
Get it from Amazon for $99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and three colors).
17. A super chic initial necklace featuring chunky semi-precious beads in a rainbow of colors that'll match literally every outfit. Make this your signature piece that you wear daily for an eclectic, effortlessly luxe vibe that screams "I vacation at the White Lotus."
BaubleBar
Get it from BaubleBar for $48 (available in 26 letters and three colors).
18. A Bridgerton -esque puff-sleeve embroidered gown, aka what your romantic fantasies are made of. Turns out your soulmate might actually be this dress.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:"Felt like a queen. Got this dress custom fitted and it was like a glove! Super comfy and the tulle is actually really soft." — Steph
"Absolutely gorgeous dress! I got so many compliments wearing this! My goal was to be fairy-like and I crushed the vision with this dress. The corset back is great, even my husband was able to help me do it. The sleeves were a bit loose, even after I tried to shorten the strap part but honestly loved the look either on my shoulders or off them!" — Becca L
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in sizes 2–26 and 45 styles).
19. Tory Burch jelly sandals to infuse a designer touch into your look without totally breaking the bank. Warning: your basic flip flops are gonna be jealoussss.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "True to size and super cute and comfy." — Chantelle
20. A comfy short-sleeve knit cardigan with embossed gold buttons that'll lend sooooo much more polish to your faded jeans than that sweatshirt you were gonna reach for.
Ann Taylor
Get it from Ann Taylor for $83.30 (originally $119; available in sizes XXS–XXL classic and XXS–XL petite).
21. Chic, somehow-only-$15 sunglasses that some folks say are comparable to a certain brand that rhymes with Shmay-Span. Pop these on with literally anything and you'll radiate posh celebrity vibes.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I am still in shock that these sunglasses were so nice. I bought them for the style and look (trendy yet comfortable) and figured the polarized label was a gimmick (polarized sunnies I've bought in the past have been well over $200). I was going on a trip and needed some sunglasses I wouldn't cry over if I didn't return with them (always lose mine). These sunglasses were packaged beautifully. They came with a polarized tester! They passed the test as well as my Ray-Bans I knew were polarized, but when I kept switching back and forth between these and my Ray-Bans I'm pretty sure the lenses on these are even CLEARER. Maybe because they were brand new, but I was so impressed!! They are so cute and stylish while also so comfortable with an amazing lens. BUY THESE!! Super-good deal, you won't be disappointed! They also seem so sturdy, so I'm hoping they will last me a while. Update: I still have these sunglasses and I'm still obsessed!!! ONLY issue I have had with them is the lens glue is kinda melting down but I think it's because I left them out alone in Arizona 110-degree weather, just boiling them out there. Still look amazing, still so strong. I've sat on them 8,574,927 times and they are still alive. Amazing. I'll never buy expensive sunnies again." — liz
Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in 18 colors).
22. Super on-trend high-waisted leopard pants to turn basically every top in your wardrobe into a fashion-blogger-worthy 'fit.
Asos
Get them from Asos for $81 (available in sizes 12–22).
23. Stylish and slouchy faux-suede heeled boots boasting a soft lining and such hardcore Serena van der Woodsen energy, you wouldn't even mind Gossip Girl spotting you in 'em. These paired with a dress = transitional weather perfection.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Mind blown at the quality and comfort. 👍🏼 I usually wear a 5.5 but sometimes order a 6 in boots to accommodate my athletic calves. The six is a little too big; however, these are the most comfortable boots I've ever ordered. I'll use a sole insert to help with the fit. The quality of these boots is outstanding — a close comparison to my $800 designer boots! I'm absolutely shocked and pleasantly surprised! There is also a super soft interior finish that makes these great for wearing barefoot. The blue in the photos is a bit brighter than what they look like in person. I will be ordering additional colors! Outstanding!" — Amanda S. Battistoni
Get them from Amazon for $56.59+ (available in sizes 5.5–11 and in 10 colors).
24. A knockout pencil dress with over 14,000 (!!!) 5-star ratings that'll slay for work or parties and could easily pass for quadruple the price.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Reviewers recommend sizing up!
Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on this beauty.
Promising review:"I have two now. This is one of the best-fitting dresses I have ever owned. I have owned a lot of dresses in my 73 years lol. Honestly, a fabulous dress. It's so well-made. Substantial construction. Ruched in the most perfect places. It's a dream dress." — Cynthia Caywood
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 17 colors).
25. A twirl-worthy dotted tulle skirt sure to stand out in a sea of cocktail dresses. Oh, and red lipstick is basically a must.
Eloquii
26. Stunning appliquéd pumps reminiscent of Taylor Swift's Grammy dress the year she won for Folklore. Even if you're just headed to the bar with pals and not setting music industry records, these are a fabulous choice.
Betsey Johnson
Psst...if you prefer low heels, the block-heeled sandal version of these is also gorgeous!
Promising review: "So lovely and I can't wait for spring. Beautiful, the flowers are so cute, and the shoes are a bit mesh-like. They are very pointy-toed so they are a teeny bit snug but still fit my size. They packed them so well for shipping; some of the more prominent flowers had little cardboard cuffs to keep them from squishing." — Christy
Get them from Amazon for $139 (available in sizes 6–11 and in three colors) or Betsey Johnson for $129 (available in sizes 7–12 and in two colors).
27. A red-hot strapless cutout jumpsuit it might be impossible to walk normally in — I think you have to strut.
28. A crystal-embellished black shoulder bag to add some glitz and glam to outfits day or night. Way more practical than a tiny clutch but still v fancy.
