My Mom Wants to Look Chic on the Cheap—I Suggested These Expensive-Looking Items

My mom recently messaged me because she wanted some sartorial guidance on a few summer pieces worth adding to her wardrobe. Her exact words were: “I want to freshen up my summer look—what can I buy that’s cute but won’t cost a ton?” Given that I’m all for cheap items that look incredibly chic, I had a list of expensive-looking trends I sent over to her to consider this season.

The items in question all feel elevated and quite high-end thanks to fashion-forward details but can actually all be purchased for under $50. Intrigued? Keep scrolling to check out the expensive-looking pieces I’m loving right now, complete with a bit of visual and shopping inspiration if something catches your eye.

Whether it's a top or a dress, a puff-sleeve accent brings extra dimension and elevates an otherwise simple item.
It's all about the details. Going for a pair of sandals with a square toe will make the shoes feel quite high-end (even if the price point isn't crazy high).
Opting for chain-link necklaces and bracelets is the way to go. They're of the moment and don't necessarily have to cost a fortune to get the look.
In the dress realm, I'm all about a tank dress. While on the simple side, the silhouette is inherently chic and can look so sleek with your favorite accessories.
My mom wanted to add a few new tees into her collection, so I suggested plain T-shirts in slouchier cuts because they feel modern and fashionable and thus more high-end.

Next, check out more chic summer items.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

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...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

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...
