I'm Not Sure What It Is, But These 3 Things Always Look So Expensive to Me

If I’m an expert at anything, it’s finding things that look way more expensive than they are. I’m always looking for the next cool thing, investing in fashion risks, and testing out new trends—aka constantly shopping—so I literally can’t afford to cash out all the time. After trying on what feels like hundreds of thousands of clothes, bags, and accessories, I’ve developed a discerning, CIA-level eye for fabrics, construction, and fit that would make even the best bootleggers sweat (and give me a heavy discount). That stitching is plastic, sir.

My years of scientific research have shown the trick to looking expensive is finding inherently luxe pieces to anchor all your looks, and the three items below reliably meet that need. There are so many options in each of these categories this season, so stay woke, and keep scrolling to see the best finds from across the internet. Here’s to us manifesting a rich auntie winter. Clink, clink!

Vegan leather hit the ground running this fall and shows no sign of letting up. From pants to blazers, skirts to jackets, anything made in this fabric elevates whatever you choose to pair it with. Accomplish Kat's effortlessly cool look by layering knits over your vegan leather Monday to Thursday, and switch to a formfitting corset top on Friday.  Some pro tips: Avoid glossy or patent leathers and stick to relaxed-fit styles to ensure a timeless look.
This '90s-inspired, straight-leg cut is right on the money.
Dress it up with ankle boots and a blazer or down with a baggy sweater and some Jays.
Finally, a warm dress option for winter.
Add some fishnets underneath for fun.
This one is so versatile. Wear it as a top or as a jacket if you live in warmer climates like L.A.
The girls who get it, get it.
Switch out the tie with a statement belt, and you'll have the chicest dinner look.
This will look so cute with all your cozy sweaters.
There's nothing quite like hardware-inspired jewelry to add some weight to a 'fit… and to your words. And the best part? You can layer them to achieve the precise amount of drama you desire out of the night. Feeling extra dramatic? Mix silver and gold pieces, and you'll look plucked out of the pages of your favorite editorial. If you prefer more understated elegance, stick to a single chunky gold chain necklace, and let me know when you notice people start treating you differently.
A little bling never hurt nobody.
Jackpot.
Simplicity at its finest.
This would make a great gift. Get it engraved for extra credit.
The best of both worlds.
It's a belt buckle! Love.
Adding a watch to your stacked bracelets is so chic. 
For all my romantics.
The way my hands carry themselves differently after putting these on.
Wear it with all your crew-neck tops.
A whole look.
I love faux-fur jackets and accessories because they allow me to get away with an otherwise utterly casual outfit and somehow leave me still looking expensive. Gray sweats paired with faux-fur is peak chic, and for that, I'm totally bought-in. However, we must acknowledge that all faux furs are not created equal. When you've landed a good one, however, the payoff lasts a lifetime. Linked below are the best affordable options out there.
A cutie.
"Do you see this coat?!"
The stock just went up.
The boxy cut adds to the lumberjack vibe.
This military-style coat is everything.
The navy color sets this off.
The only house slippers you'll want to wear out of the house.
It's 50% off. Need I say more?
Take her skiing!
I personally identify with this 4B-curl faux fur.
If you live anywhere cold, you need these.

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...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
