While it might be nice to have a sky-high budget for clothes, you don’t need one to wear expensive-looking outfits every day. Amazon is filled with tons of wardrobe pieces with high-end vibes at a fair price. All of the items on this list cost less than $30 — and as an added perk, everything is comfortable to wear, too.

01The Perfect Middle-Weight Sweater

04This Elevated Sweatshirt That Comes In Lots Of Shades

  • Available colors: 9
