The Most Expensive-Looking Clothes Under $35 On Amazon, According To Stylists

Stylist Hailey Genevieve stans this tank for warm-weather wardrobes. “Your go-to summer tank” she says. “Effortless, elevated, and perfect from day to night.” Crafted from a smooth sweater knit, which also makes it a good option for spring and fall, the easy-fitting style features a split hem and a V-neckline, so you won’t overheat.

• Available sizes: Small — Large
• Available colors: 17

“The ultimate summer dress,” Genevieve says of this maxi, although you’ll be tempted to wear it year-round. “Elevated, flattering, and in the dreamiest color.” Pure cotton infuses the piece with an air of luxury, while the empire waistline and maxi-length skirt feature alternating horizontal and vertical stripes to increase the visual interest. If you get chilly, all it needs is a chunky cardigan.

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 8

Like the piece recommended by Genevieve, this dress comes in stunning colorways like the floral shade shown here — and the dramatic maxi length only heightens the rich vibe. The button-front silhouette is structured by a smocked bodice, with bow-tie straps delivering the outfit-elevating detail Genevieve champions.

• Available sizes: 14 Plus — 24 Plus
• Available colors: 6

Crafted using high-quality materials, like real 14-karat gold plating and cubic zirconia, it’s no wonder Genevieve calls this the “everyday tennis bracelet upgrade.” Its bezel cut and teardrop shop — not to mention the tarnish-resistant finish — make it a stunning option for regular wear, with Genevieve adding that it’s “perfect to add to any stack!” Though, of course, the design stuns on its own.

• Available sizes: 6.5 — 7.5 inches
• Available colors: 2

“This ‘baby doll’ tank is a must,” says Genevieve of this scoop-neck top, designed with a pleated tie-front in a lightweight cotton blend. “Chic, versatile, and ready for anything, from brunch to the boat! Pair it with silk or denim shorts,” she recommends. All that with a peplum hem could trick anyone into thinking this piece is far pricier than it is.

• Available sizes: Small — Large
• Available colors: 6

If you prefer a little extra coverage, consider this top; with a tie front and peplum hem, it bears striking resemblance to the stylist’s pick, but features bloused short sleeves. The exaggerated design does double-duty, adding pricey-looking detail while covering you up a bit more.

• Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
• Available colors: 13

On-air fashion expert Dawn Del Russo loves the way this striped and textured knit of this string bikini looks like it’s designer. “This Missoni-inspired bikini is almost like the real thing,” she says. “Perfect for this summer's crochet trend, too.” The cheeky low-rise bottom and triangle top are a high-key spicy addition to your swimwear collection.

• Available sizes: Small — X-Large
• Available colors: 5

Del Russo suggests this maxi dress for channeling designer-influenced style. “Chanel is a constant elevated glamour look we aspire [to],” she says, “and this dress gets us a little closer.” Crafted from a ribbed knit, with contrasting trim, the tank silhouette clings through the bodice before extending to a flared maxi-length hem.

• Available sizes: Small — X-Large
• Available colors: 6

“YSL-inspired sandals are a classic that will take you through many seasons,” says Del Russo of these flats, adding, “a high price tag is not necessary.” Crafted from gleaming faux patent leather, with a cushioned footbed, these also come with a coupon that can be applied at checkout.

• Available sizes: 4 — 10.5
• Available colors: 11

“This is an amazing bodycon dress that is an instant closet staple,” fashion expert and stylist Nina Lato says of this maxi, designed with delicate spaghetti straps and a straight neckline. “You can easily dress it up with some key jewelry pieces! It is so easy to style and wear and everyone will be asking you where you got it!”

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 11

“This is a staple fitted top that goes with everything,” Lato says of this cropped square-neck tank. “The style is snug on your body without being too tight,” she says, adding that it gives a “fitted crisp look.” In terms of styling potential, the sky’s the limit — and Lato advises: “This one is perfect for high rise pants or shorts and can rotate with a range of outfits.”

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 29

According to Lato, these linen-blend pants can work for a variety of occasions. “We love a good casual comfortable but elevated pant,” says Lato. “These you can throw on with your favorite top,” she adds. “Great for resort wear or brunch with friends!” Use the adjustable drawstring waist to get the fit just right.

• Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large

For elevating your jewelry collection, Lana Ashby Rowder, stylist and founder of fashion tech platform lookingGLASS, suggests this layered necklace. “I’m obsessed with this because it delivers that effortlessly put-together look without requiring any styling energy,” she says. The stunning two-piece set is plated in 14-karat gold for a polished finish — and Ashby Rowder says it easily “passes for something triple the price.”

• Available colors: 4

Ashby Rowder suggests these sandals to instantly pull together your look, saying, “they’re the kind of throw-on-and-go shoe that still makes you feel styled. [...] [They] work with just about everything in my closet.” With a cushioned insole and supple faux leather upper, they’re remarkably comfortable, too. “They fit true to size and are super wide-foot friendly, which is rare for a sandal this cute,” she adds.

• Available sizes: 6 — 11
• Available colors: 10

“I can't recommend this flowy tank dress enough,” says Ashby Rowder. “We recommend it to our lookingGLASS clients all the time, and it’s always a hit.” She notes that it’s surprisingly versatile, not to mention comfortable: “You can wear it solo with strappy sandals for a lazy brunch sipping mimosas, or layer it under a cropped denim jacket and sneakers for a more casual vibe. If you want to take it up a couple more notches, add a structured blazer and a block heel for the perfect office.” For this price, you might want to grab a few — the chic frock is offered in nearly two dozen colors.

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 23

If you’re looking for an evergreen wardrobe addition, Ashby Rowder suggests this floral tank that’s casual yet intentional. “This ruffle-sleeve top is a client favorite because it’s incredibly versatile and easy to style across seasons,” she says. “The soft structure of the sleeve adds just the right amount of detail, making it a go-to for everything from casual coffee runs to more polished work looks.”

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 14

“These denim shorts strike the perfect balance — on-trend but not too short, which makes them a staple we recommend often for clients who want to feel stylish and comfortable,” says Ashby Rowder. “The high waist gives great shape, while the longer inseam and relaxed fit make them easy to move in.” The laid-back cutoffs can be styled so many ways, but Ashby Rowder suggests: “Pair them with a tucked-in tank and baseball cap for sporty-cool, or throw on an oversized button-down and slides for an effortlessly put-together weekend look.”

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large

For bringing your wardrobe up-to-date, personal stylist and style coach Samantha Dawn suggests this top. “Asymmetrical necklines are everywhere as they are fun, flirty, and [take] minimal effort,” she says. In smooth-as-butter fabric, you’d never suspect the cropped silhouette is so accessible.

• Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
• Available colors: 19

“Statement gold earrings can elevate every outfit,” says Dawn, who suggests adding this pair of earrings to your collection. “These earrings channel runway styles without paying the high price tag,” she notes of the teardrop style. Chunky yet minimal, they feature a push-back closure — and easily take you from day to night.

• Available colors: 19

If you’re more of a hoop girlie, these Pavoi earrings make a statement similar to the pair Dawn suggested — and they also come backed by over 37,000 five-star ratings. Plated in real 14-karat gold, the aesthetic is high-end, in a chunky yet simple design that’ll go with practically every outfit in your closet.

• Available colors: 4

“Belts are a great way to add waist definition and dimension into your outfits,” Dawn says, suggesting this faux leather belt, with gleaming metal hardware. “Opt for belts that have unique metal designs in combination with traditional leather components,” she advises. In classic black, this piece more than fits the bill.

• Available sizes: Small — X-Large
• Available colors: 24

In vibrantly printed satin, this scarf delivers a luxe look without taxing your bank account — and it comes recommended by Dawn. “An easy way to make your outfits instantly more chic is to add a neck scarf,” she says. Tie the 27.5-inch square around your neck or turn it into a headband; you could even style it as a belt.

• Available colors: 45

Stylist and creative director Warren Wright calls this top “a steal.” With its sharp tapered tank straps and a square neckline, he notes that this style “is usually done by larger designers like Vivienne Westwood” — but it comes without the designer price. Wright dubs it “a new staple in your closet.”

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 20

What Wright especially loves about this piece is “the tiered layers to avoid sheerness and the detail of the borders,” the stylist says of the ruffled skort. Designed with an elasticized waist, it pulls on easy but doesn’t skimp on style.

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 18

Personal fashion stylist and image consultant Cynthia Kennedy raves about these pants. “One of my clients is obsessed with the fact that these look like dress pants but feel like pajamas,” she says. “The satin gives them an elevated vibe, but they’re pull-on, which makes them so easy to wear from work to weekend.” The slant pockets add a practical touch.

• Available sizes: X-Small — 3X-Large (including select long sizes)
• Available colors: 19

“This skirt is a full-on main character moment,” says Kennedy of this tiered tulle skirt. “It’s light, floaty, and surprisingly wearable. I’ve styled it with sneakers for brunch and heels for events.” Designed with a smooth elasticized waist, nobody would guess the maxi-length skirt is so comfy — or so budget-conscious.

• Available sizes: Small — X-Large
• Available colors: 9

According to Kennedy, this straw purse is an accessory must. “It’s the bag you’ll take to every summer event,” she swears. “Feels like vacation in accessory form — cute, structured, and fits more than just your lip gloss.” Carry it by the top handle, or use the detachable faux leather strap, knowing the turn-lock closure will keep contents secure.

• Available colors: 2

“These are the kind of heels that make an entrance,” says Kennedy. “The bow gives just the right amount of drama without being over the top — people always ask where I got them.” Covered in lush satin, the slender high heel could make any outfit look expensive.

• Available sizes: 5 — 11
• Available colors: 10

If you love the look of chunky accessories but not the weight, Kennedy suggests these earrings. “Statement earrings that don’t feel heavy — finally,” she says. “These instantly elevate any outfit, and the mix of metal and resin gives them that designer-inspired edge.” Plated in pure 18-karat gold, that’s deluxe gleam, no cap.

• Available colors: 4

Kennedy loves the retro look of these sneakers. “Old-school cool with modern comfort,” she says. “I love pairing these with linen trousers or floaty dresses when I want to stay comfy but still look put-together.” The lace-up design is made from faux leather and suede, with a dual-density midsole for dreamy comfort.

• Available sizes: 6 — 11
• Available colors: 5

Red carpet fashion expert Melissa Rivers has a recommendation for upgrading your wardrobe: “These pants scream ‘rich lady at the Four Seasons’ without the high price tag.” The billowy cut makes them supremely comfortable wear, and Rivers adds, “They flow like a dream, cinch the waist like you have a personal trainer, and they’re beige, the official color of quiet luxury.”

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 16

“This skirt gives Old Hollywood on a shoestring budget,” says Rivers of this piece, designed with a pull-on waistband and thigh-high side slit. “It’s sultry, it’s sleek, and that deep chocolate color is divine. Pair it with a tank and suddenly you’re the mysterious woman at the bar who ‘just got back from France.’”

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 16

For a light layer, Rivers suggests this sheer cotton-blend poncho. “You know that glam auntie who always shows up in something flowy and dramatic, that’s this shrug,” says Rivers. “It’s giving ‘I just threw this on,’ even though it pulls the whole outfit together. Perfect over a tank, a dress, or even pajamas if you’re feeling extra. I’d know. I’ve done it.”

• Available sizes: One size
• Available colors: 26

Rivers loves the way this cap-sleeve top can elevate a look. “This top is like a facelift for your wardrobe,” she says, “The pleats do all the work, and the V-neck is just low enough to whisper ‘I’ve still got it’ without shouting. It looks way more expensive than it is, which is always the goal.”

• Available sizes: Small — X-Large
• Available colors: 17

Personal stylist Dianne Boyer is a fan of this tank’s texture. “What I love about this sweater is that it is so light that it doesn’t feel like a sweater, but falls perfectly on your body like one would,” she says. “There’s no gaping under the arms, which can happen with a halter-style top. The white trim gives it an elevated look so that it can be dressed up or down.”

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 9

“Here is your summer going-out top” says Boyer of this one-shouldered top, with a hip-length hem. “The ruching is flattering, and the top looks alluring without showing too much skin. While this top can be worn all year, it comes in great summer colors such as lavender and pink, making it perfect for the season.”

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 12

Boyer likes this vest’s unique details so much, she wears it herself; “I’ve been wearing this vest as a halter top already this season,” she says, “I love the asymmetrical cut, and it’s fun to wear casually with jeans or shorts. You can also wear it for work now and add a long-sleeved top underneath to continue wearing it through fall.”

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 8

“We’ve all experienced it being hot outside and freezing inside when the A/C is cranked up,” says Boyer, who recommends this cotton-blend sweater shawl. “I love this piece because it adds warmth in a nice, streamlined way. You can throw it over your sleeveless dresses and tops. It stays in place perfectly, without adding the bulk of ‘real’ sweater arms.”

• Available sizes: One size
• Available colors: 12

Its smocked bodice and wide ruffled straps are chic, but Boyer particularly likes this dress for its print and notes that “adding a gingham maxi dress to your closet is the perfect go-to for almost everything. From brunch to vacation to running errands, you’ll reach for this dress all season long. Dress it up with heels or throw on a pair of sneakers — you’ll love wearing it both ways.”

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 8

“Lace and eyelet are trending,” says Boyer, who recommends this top for desk-to-dinner dressing; she calls the fabric “perfect option for air-conditioned places. An eyelet top is ideal for wearing to work or dinner to avoid being chilly...a great combination of breathable, warm, and stylish.” With long sleeves and ruffled cuffs, you can wear it all year long.

• Available sizes: X-Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 14

Alison Moodie Collins, fashion expert and owner of AM:PR, a boutique fashion public relations agency, considers these rattan ballet flats a must-buy. “Woven flats are the standout shoe trend,” she says. “Spotted on runways and worn by celebrities, trendy yet wearable...They offer a touch of sophistication from coastal escapes to city streets.”

• Available sizes: 5 — 9.5
• Available colors: 1

Like the pair suggested by Moodie Collins, these fishnet Mary Jane flats blend wearability with of-the-moment style. Trimmed in faux leather, with an adjustable foot strap, the open weave is perfect for showing off that pedicure — and the texture will look just as cool with evening looks as daytime ensembles.

• Available sizes: 7 — 11
• Available colors: 9

“Basics aren’t going anywhere, and this short-sleeve knit has quickly become my go-to,” says Moodie Collins of this top, designed with an easy, hip-length fit. “With its timeless silhouette and refined ease, it’s perfect for navigating the in-between temps of indoor and outdoor settings — polished yet incredibly comfortable. I have it in four colors; the fabric is ultra-soft and the quality is unmatched.”

• Available sizes: Small — 3X-Large
• Available colors: 40

“Brown suede belts have become a must-have accessory” says Moodie Collins, who suggests this faux suede option. “While chocolate tones continue to reign, the suede texture adds a fresh, tactile edge,” she says. “The right belt brings instant polish and depth to even the most familiar looks. This one is great quality and has a good weight.”

• Available sizes: One size

“If you know me, you know I’m a blazer girlie!” Moodie Collins says. “A well-tailored blazer instantly elevates any outfit — whether it’s over a suit, paired with jeans and a tee, or even thrown over loungewear for school drop-offs, gym, or errands. It's the ultimate polish-without-effort staple.” This double-breasted blazer has a bit of stretch for a pricey-looking drape. And if you have a little extra room in the budget, Moodie is a big fan of this jacket.

• Available sizes: Small — XX-Large
• Available colors: 8

In classic khaki, this double-breasted belted trench is a must for Moodie Collins. “A forever piece,” she says. “Throw it over anything to instantly refine your look. For taller women, opt for a mid-calf length; for petite frames, just below the knee works best. This versatile layering piece will always have a place in your wardrobe.”

• Available sizes: X-Small — Large
• Available colors: 1

If you live in warm or dry area that doesn’t call for a full-length trench, try out this cropped coat, which features a chic abbreviated length. The double-breasted style includes a belted waist and cuffs, so you still get the timeless style — but without adding extra bulk.

• Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
• Available colors: 4

“Linen pants are the effortless staple that instantly elevate any look — breathable, tailored, and quietly luxurious,” says Moodie Collins, who recommends these palazzo pants, in a luxe linen blend. “Their natural texture and fluid drape give off an expensive feel, without trying too hard.” An adjustable drawstring waistband customizes the fit.

• Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
• Available colors: 4

This top made a big impression on style coach Giu Lamotta. “This top will not only look expensive but also feel it,” she says, noting its soft cotton-modal blend. “The shape of the top takes a regular shirt and elevates it so it has a point of interest,” she explains, “while also keeping it classy and looking timeless!”

• Available sizes: X-Small — X-Large
• Available colors: 5

“Perfect clutch for an evening out or a special occasion,” Lamotta says of this bag, specifically recommending the glossy silver acrylic shown here. “You could never tell that it did not come straight from the latest collection of a luxury fashion house. You can get it in both gold or silver, but silver looks more put together and luxurious always!” The center compartment has room for all the essentials, including your phone, keys, and wallet.

• Available colors: 4

“Classic, timeless and perfect,” is how Lamotta describes this maxi dress, calling it “a staple in everyone’s closet” that “looks so polished and luxurious without breaking the bank.” Designed with a high crew neckline and wide tank shoulders, its billowy fit is the definition of elegant ease.

• Available sizes: Small — 4X-Large

Upgrade your bracelet stack with this Lamotta-recommended bracelet. “This gold-plated tennis bracelet will not only look, but feel luxurious and expensive,” she promises. “It is a beautiful bracelet that [adds] a touch of brightness and sophistication to any look.” She notes the high-end construction — it features 14-karat gold and cubic zirconia — saying, “The best part, is that it will last such a long time because of its amazing quality!”

Stylist and personal shopper Gianna Marie Scappucci wants you to know this sheer lace blouse is incredibly versatile. “Jeans, leather pants, skirt or shorts, not much doesn’t compliment this retro poet blouse,” she says. Accented by pearly buttons, the mock neckline and bloused three-quarter sleeves look positively pricey.

• Available sizes: Small — 3X-Large
• Available colors: 8

Scappucci recommends a “stunning shirt dress easily paired with heels, flats or sneaks, a variety of colored belts and jewels to top off a dressy or create a casual look.” Take her advice and try this button-down dress. The breezy maxi length, notch collar, and striped print have that “summer as a verb” vibe, but at a far more relatable price point.

• Available sizes: X-Small — 3X-Large
• Available colors: 9

If you want to inject your wardrobe with some high-end energy, Scappucci suggests an A-line dress in tweed, a style she describes as “classic” and “very Chanel.” This dress features that tweed texture Scappucci loves, with gold-toned buttons, with demure short sleeves and a high scoop neckline.

• Available sizes: 6 — 18
