If, like me, you want your summer outfits to exude a rich-looking vibe (think Sofia Richie in the South of France), but you don’t want to spend your entire pay check on a new-season wardrobe then you’ve landed at the right place today.
As a fashion editor on a budget (I’m currently saving for a house and have a strict cap on my fashion spending this year), one of the first places I make a beeline to when I’m looking for effortlessly elegant yet affordable finds is H&M. Right now, they have a strong selection of summer essentials—from luxe-looking linen pants to sleek sandals—that are guaranteed to elevate your wardrobe this season. I’m a pro when it comes to maneuvering around the affordable brand, and this week I’ve waded through hundreds of pages (so you don’t have to), to bring you the crème de la crème of expensive-looking summer picks—all under $85—that will unquestionably make your summer wardrobe look richer. Keep scrolling for plenty of premium-looking finds worthy of you wallet.
