So, You Want to Look Wealthy? These Under-$150 Winter Finds Are a Good Start

I’m not going to lie to you: Affordable retailers like Zara, H&M, and Mango are usually the places I beeline to when I’m in the mood to indulge myself with a cheap and trendy buy. As I was idly scrolling through their new arrivals on my last visit, though, I couldn’t help but notice all the chic and timeless pieces, especially the pieces that looked destined for a forever wardrobe. With a certain anti-trend, quiet-luxury aesthetic on the rise, retailers are clearly taking notes on the growing interest in paring things back and have been acting accordingly.

Once I spotted a few quiet-luxury finds, I searched up and down all my usual sites and found a trove of items that were so chic, so luxurious, and so wealthy looking that their surprisingly low price tags shocked me to my very core.

From the languid cream-toned trousers you’ll want to skip your jeans for to the luxurious capes that will make you look like you just stepped off a private jet, I’m uncovering the best expensive-looking finds to buy for winter and the best part is that none of them top $150.
