When your heart says luxury and your bank account says no, it can be a little (or very) discouraging. As nice as it is to be able to afford high-end items, it’s not totally necessary in order to look expensive. When it comes to looking expensive on a budget, it’s all about the little details! By paying attention to an item’s finishings and shopping for classic styles over trendy, you can find items that could fool anyone into thinking they’re high-end – even when they aren’t.

If you want to achieve the quiet-luxury trend and look expensive, even while on a budget, let us get you started! We’ve rounded up 11 items from our favourite relatively affordable shops to find the most expensive-looking items that won’t break the bank.
