As a born-and-raised Southern Californian, my style tends to be quite casual, no matter the occasion. Usually, that means jeans and tees year-round, but lately, I’ve been wanting to get out of my WFH funk and dress up a bit more. To be clear, “upscale” certainly doesn’t have to mean designer. I may be biased, but our Who What Wear Collection’s newest spring launch is full of beautiful, well-made pieces that don’t cost a fortune and yet look so polished.
One of the things Who What Wear Collection does best is matching sets. Whether you’re looking for a fun yellow pants set or a sophisticated midi A-line skirt with a coordinating crop top, there’s definitely something for everyone. Scroll down to shop my 5 favorite pieces to dress in an upscale way for less than $175.
