If you like a bit of luxury but don’t have the budget, then you’re in luck. Fashion doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

You can look spectacular and express your unique style for less if you know which brands to shop from. Countless brands sell the same quality and variety for half the money.

1. Charles and Keith

Once you’ve finished your outfit, you can pick out enigmatic accessories from Charles & Keith. Because they offer excellent quality products, people often confuse it with a more expensive store. Depending on your preference, they have an endless collection of bags in bright colors and earth tones, starting from $53!

Because they offer a wide range of designers, they have everything you need in their arsenal at prices that will make your jaw drop. If in doubt, check ASOS; they have something in stock that is custom made for you.

3. Intimissimi

Intimissimi is a well-known Italian brand, best known for its lingerie. According to Yahoo, it is one of the most affordable lingerie brands that offers good quality. However, most people don’t know that you can also buy premium basic items at a competitive price. Considering their quality, paying $59 for a premium cashmere top isn’t bad.

4. Mejuri

Mejuri looks like pure luxury, but the prices are much more affordable than they seem. This jewelry brand has timeless pieces that are perfect for everyday use and parties.

It offers various accessories, many of which are made of solid gold or gold vermeil. Despite using these high-quality materials, Mejuri offers lower price tags because it has eliminated the middleman from the supply chain.

5. Uniqlo

Sometimes we are looking for classic clothing that is sleek and stylish and doesn’t cost a cent. Uniqlo offers exactly that. Their slim-fit shirts cost around $40 and come in a variety of colors such as blue, gray and black. They also have chinos and trousers that will brighten up any shirt and fit perfectly.

6. H&M

H&M is a pioneer in the fast fashion industry, and rightly so. Instead of producing clothing in-house, they outsource it, which means you get a lot of variety from different designers, all at an affordable price. According to The List, the brand employs more than a hundred designers who keep an eye on fashion trends and clothing to ensure the best quality.

7. Mango

Mango is a brand that many shoppers often overlook, but is just as good as any on this list. According to the HuffPost, people in the US often neglect the brand because they are unaware of their killer prices.

However, the quality is worth the investment. For just over $200 you can buy a good jacket made from good quality fabric that will last a lifetime.

8. Top Shop

If you like streetware, dresses, knitwear or basically any other style of clothing, Topshop is the place to go. They come across as a luxury brand because of their impressive marketing and branding strategies; however, their clothes are not that expensive. You can buy an entire dress for $69 and look like a goddess!

9. Pull and carry

Pull & Bear places a strong emphasis on denim and earth tones, which are a great addition to your monochrome colors. Owned by a Spanish company, they use natural and synthetic fabrics in their collections, making them comfortable and cozy. The store mainly attracts a younger audience and is marketed as a trendy brand, which can often give the wrong impression that it is expensive.

10. FashionNova

Because you see celebrities like the Kardashians wearing FashionNova pieces, you might think they’re expensive, but that’s not the case. Despite the hype, they keep their prices low so you can splurge on their denim, swimwear, dresses, button-downs and more. They even have a collection with Cardi B!

1. Zara

Zara is a fast fashion brand with top quality items that enrich your wardrobe. It offers some of the most affordable clothing, starting at just $9. They have an extensive collection of tops, bottoms, accessories, beauty products and perfumes. While looking for clothes, you should check the material of the fabric; the fewer mixtures there are, the better the quality.

2. The Frankie Shop

According to Vogue Business, The Frankie Shop began its fashion journey in 2014 but has opened four locations, two in New York and two in Paris, in addition to a thriving online business.

When you enter their stores, the brand looks very expensive and chic, but the prices are in the mid-range. The premise of the store is to showcase emerging designers at an affordable price.

13. Loeil

Loeil is a ready-to-wear brand for women that makes you look like a goddess. According to Loeil, their pieces are manufactured in South Korea, China, Japan and the US, while products are designed in Los Angeles and New Jersey. The unique shapes and fits of tops and dresses make it seem like a catwalk-ready brand; however, the prices are much cheaper.

14. Eloquii

What sets Eloquii apart is the diversity of size options. Many brands don’t tailor their products to fit all body types, but Eloquii prides itself on its plus-size fits. Not only do they have reasonable prices, their clothes look like they are designer.

15. Everlane

Today’s fast-paced streetwear trends aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s okay. If you prefer minimal clothing, Everlane offers a huge collection of silk and cashmere pieces under $100! Their affordable boots are almost indistinguishable from a great, expensive brand.
