Even though we are just a few weeks into September, I have been shopping for autumn for quite some time now, and the chic new arrivals continue to roll in. I’ve been restocking everything from great denim pieces to new knits to pretty blouses and autumn dresses. Of course, I wish I could spend as much as my heart desires, but I’m keeping an eye on my favourite affordable retailers that have elevated-looking pieces that could sometimes pass for designer.
H&M, Zara, and Mango have set the bar high with their latest new arrivals, and I couldn’t help but snag a few autumnal pieces. I rounded up 30 affordable but expensive-looking autumn items that look way pricer than their price tags. Keep scrolling to take a look.
