    42 Cheap Things That'll Help You Look More Stylish Than You Actually Are

    Inexpensive, but make it fashion.

    1. High-waisted faux leather leggings that'll feel oh-so buttery and upgrade your sweater-and-leggings outfit into style blogger territory.

    2. A super-soft minimalist sweater with maximum appeal. All your solid color knits are going to feel very lonely in your closet soon.

    3. A pair of socks for anyone who thinks that red lipstick just on your lips really isn't enough. These'll look equally stylish peeking out of sneaks, pumps, or ankle booties.

    Or a multipack of geometric sheer socks so you can wear your go-to "uniform" from your capsule wardrobe, but change up your ~foot looks~.

    4. A velvet cami to give your plain white one a break for the winter and add a lil' something extra to your outfits.

    5. Extra thick cotton over-the-knee socks in a cozy ribbed knit design for Lara Jean style plus a ton of coziness.

    6. A square-neck mini dress to add some on-trend romance to your day, without the drama of emptying your bank account.

    7. A gorgeous textured travel wallet that'll store your cash, boarding pass, passport, credit cards, and more — all while looking like a chic mini clutch.

    8. A flowy animal-print wrap skirt that'll be a closet staple through all four seasons — with a light sweater in the spring, breezy tank in the summer, a moto jacket and booties in the fall, and fleece-lined tights, heels, and a turtleneck in the winter.

    9. A Picasso's Dancing Men tee everyone will think you bought at a cool boutique to add a lil' something extra to jeans or plain black pants.

    10. A turtleneck dress for when you want to feel cozy and bundled up, but still stylish. A cute pair of patterned tights or over-the-knee boots, and you're set!

    11. A pair of brass and acrylic or marble statement earrings that'll really live up to their name — wearing the same LBD you've had for the past three years to another event? Jazz it up with these.

    12. A ruffle-sleeve top in a soft and stretchy faux suede that'll make a statement while feeling light as air.

    13. A convertible backpack/shoulder bag, because when you're traveling, you want to schlep all the things you need *and* be ready for an #OOTD pic in front of a monument. AND this one has a zipper against your back, so it's theft-proof too!

    14. A gorgeous midi dress with laser-cut sleeves and hemline to bring a little fancy to your everyday lewk.

    15. A fringed pullover to add a whole new ~dimension~ to your wardrobe.

    16. A braided velvet headband so you stay fashion-forward this winter — minimal effort (and spending) required. Dramatic hair accessories, I am so very here for you.

    17. A twisted faux fur scarf so you can opt for old Hollywood winter glam over a regular old puffer coat.

    18. A twist-front crop top for celeb stylist vibes without having to tie any knots yourself.

    19. A metallic pleated midi skirt so expensive-looking, people will stop you on the street and ask you where you got it.

    20. A set of three gold-plated bracelets for that stylish stacked bracelet look — without having to take the time to collect an ~eclectic~ assortment yourself.

    21. A corduroy pinafore dress that'll make layering a breeze. Pop on your favorite white oxford or cozy sweater, toss this dress on top, accessorize, and GO.

    22. Ruffle-hem leggings so you can make a fashion-forward statement while staying pajama-level comfy.

    23. A chevron-quilted belt bag for a hands-free *and* on-trend look. Convenience is chic, guys.

    24. An asymmetrically cinched hoodie for a ~fashun~ twist on a cozy classic — even when you're just leaving the gym.

    25. A pair of extra-sharp cat-eye sunnies for that "no photos please" look — you'll actually take tons of selfies in.

    26. A textured mini dress with a waist tie to make getting dressed on dark mornings (ugh why am I up this early?) a ~cinch~.

    27. A mini + maxi polkadot blouse that'll effortlessly mix patterns so you don't have to! Seriously, tuck this into a skirt or layer it over black pants and you'll look OOTD-ready in a flash.

    28. A set of velvet scrunchies to elevate your hairdo. This ombré pony? I'm in love.

    29. A mini tote with a removable croc pouch that'll make it ~transparent~ to everyone that you should really have your own fashion blog.

    30. A two-piece grid print suit set that'll make it look like you tried, even though you didn't even have to match a top and bottom. Plus, you can mix 'n' match with other separates for outfits galore.

    31. Or a flight suit–style jumpsuit for a low-effort look that'll still make everyone around you think "oh I want one of those!"

    32. A vintage-inspired scarf you can tie around your neck, ponytail, or purse handle for a polished final look. And these colors for fall? Chef's kiss.

    33. A button-detailed slitted skirt in a ribbed knit for the perfect blend of winter cozy and smokin' style.

    34. A statement blazer (in glen plaid or a snake-print for example) for business bish looks, even when just paired with your favorite leggings.

    35. A loose-fitting and super-soft maxi tee so you can bring the d-r-a-m-a while staying incredibly comfy.

    36. A cropped sweatshirt, because half-zips are a great (and cozy) low-key trend you can wear all winter.

    37. A melange knit top with two rows of pearls down the sleeves, because the fashion world is your oyster.

    38. A faux leather moto jacket to add just the right dose of classic cool to your closet — if you don't have a faux leather jacket in your collection, idek what you're doing.

    39. A striped mock-neck that'll be your go-to when wearing patterned bottoms for no-brainer mixed prints.

    40. Or a pair of wide-leg pants with tie-print and striped patterns to do the print mixing *for* you.

    41. A double-buckle belt so you can try out the current Western trend without committing too much — or spending more than 20 bucks.
