5 Cheap Spring Basics That Will Make You Look Chicer
It's somewhat of an urban legend nowadays that you need to spend a lot of money to be considered chic. In the past decade, the high-low trend has emerged, vintage shopping has reached peak popularity, and gushing to your friends about the cheap thrill you just scored is no longer considered low-brow. In fact, it's said cheap thrills that can actually make your entire outfit feel more on-trend and expensive.
Whether it's the addition of a fun jewelry style or a cool third piece, sometimes cheap basics are what end up standing out most in your outfit (and nobody would ever guess was actually affordable). There are a few cheap basics that almost always fall into this category—from the sweater style that makes your jeans-and–a-T-shirt outfit stand out to the one It piece of jewelry to own this spring. Below are the five cheap spring basics that look anything but and will actually make your whole outfit chicer.
Flat sandals are one of those items that don't require a large price tag to be good quality. You can usually find quality leather slip-on sandals for well under $100. I've found from my personal sleuthing that neutral-colored flat sandals also tend to look more expensive as well—think camel, nude, and beige.The cardigan trend has been huge for a few seasons now, and this spring is going to be all about shrunken styles. Whether they're tied around your shoulders or worn the traditional way, shrunken cardigans are one of those magical third pieces that you can throw on over basic jeans and a tee and all of a sudden your outfit looks thoughtful. By now, everyone has probably jumped on the bodysuit bandwagon (if you haven't, they take all the legwork out of tucking your top in), but this spring it's the asymmetrical style specifically fashion girls will be clamoring for. Luckily for us, you can find an affordable version at all of our favorite retailers right now, and the single shoulder detail just makes the bodysuit feel like a step up from your average. Behold the magical power of a slip skirt. Regardless of its price tag, a solid or printed midi slip skirt just feels expensive. Its sleek silhouette pairs well with virtually anything and has an air of effortlessness about it. If there's one jewelry style that's going to be everywhere for spring 2020, it's the chunky chain necklace. It seems retailers everywhere have gotten the same memo because affordable favorites like Mango and Pixie Market have beautiful versions that ring in right around $30 right now. Throw it on with even a plain T-shirt and suddenly your outfit feels elevated.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
