While there's undoubtedly a range of investment-worthy fall staples out there, some of the coolest must-haves happen to cost just under $75. (Yep, truth.) And as you can probably guess, the purpose of my story here is to showcase all of the elevated yet cheap fashion and accessory finds on offer. Because the pieces in question deserve your utmost attention if you want to look posh without spending an arm and a leg . To that, I spent the afternoon scrolling through the new arrivals sections of all of our favorite stores to curate the most expensive-looking under-$75 fall staples. Below, you’ll uncover an edit of the top affordable pieces separated by category (from dresses and skirts to shoes and bags) that will all add a fashion-forward spin to your fall wardrobe. A statement-making pick for wearing as is or layering underneath blazers or moto jackets. This cozy knit seriously looks way more expensive than it is. The puffed shoulders and polka-dot print make this top feel so right. This gorgeous rust hue is everywhere this season. Simple and sophisticated—what more could you want? An editor-favorite turtleneck, aka a must-have basic. You can never have too many mock-neck sweaters. A cowl-neck sweater is always chic. Oh, and some news: Loft has a new in-store initiative where it’s offering stylish pieces in sizes 00–26 merched together throughout the store. This is not your average black turtleneck with the on-trend bubble sleeves. You would never believe these were faux. Test this beauty out for your next night out. Wear this comfortable piece as a shawl or wrap it around as a luxurious scarf. Retro cat-eye sunglasses are where it’s at. Punctuate your everyday ensemble with this gold chain necklace. Tru this belt over a basic dress or coat to make it pop. Say hello to the colorful new earrings you’ll wear every single day. The purple hue feels so right-now. The pretty glass detail makes these earrings feel so unique and special. What’s better than cozying up in a blanket scarf? Exactly. Give this shimmery dress a whirl for any of your fancier events coming up. This must-have sweaterdress would look gorgeous with knee-high boots. This leopard dress is so flattering with the sweetheart neckline and midi length. Try this croc-embossed shiny skirt for your next night out. Leopard-print silk midi skirts continue to be a fashion-person favorite. Throw this flattering dress on and go. The tonal dot print and satin fabric here is so elegant. Go on, invest in the denim silhouette all fashion girls love. Yes, your basic black pants could possible use an upgrade. Say hello to your new go-to 9-to-5 pants. "Mom" jeans in the best wash and cut. Cargo pants will bring that ironically cool spin to your off-duty 'fits. The ideal jeans if you work in a casual office setting. This modern trench is even better from the back with the plaid detail. You legit can't get through these colder months without the perfect puffer. Dress this polished coat up with a turtleneck for the office or down with a hoodie on the weekend. A modern trench for under $100? Done and done. A tailored plaid blazer just works for everything. The lilac color ups the ante on this already-cool cozy topper. Duster coats continue to be all the rage. These faux-snakeskin booties feel so expensive. There are so many things that are spot on with these shoes, including the multi-colored finish, block heel, and pointed-V accent. These pointed black booties look like they could be three times the actual price. The chunky sneaker trend really isn’t going anywhere. So if you haven’t jumped on the look, now’s your chance. Just imagine these knit booties with a beautiful midi skirt and a blouse for the office. Yes, rain boots can look chic. Go on—elevate your heel offering.

Eli Infante’s lifestyle blog North of Man has grown from a personal style site into a full-on creative agency providing styling, photography, and creative direction to brands as well as other influencers. Well versed in the fashion industry thanks to his runway experience, brand collaborations, and modeling campaigns, he has shown time and time again that he can identify and integrate young, emerging brands — such as Computers New York, seen in his photo here —  with long-established brands such as Hugo Boss, another favorite from his feed.

“I enjoy a wardrobe that can make statements in a subtle way, but I also believe in dressing as vividly as possible,” Infante says. “This look, I would say, is one of many meeting points.”

We appreciate Infante’s eye for bringing together unexpected color combos, like this royal blue and black, as well as mixing outerwear by labels made up of classic tailored designs with those backed by a young entrepreneurial spirit whose designs are fresh. He keeps us guessing from post to post, and when we landed on this look — which at first glance was so simple, but upon further inspection was so skillfully assembled — we had to give him props.

A post shared by LEO CHAN ? NYC + LA (@levitatestyle) on Jan 17, 2019 at 4:21pm PST

Born in Hong Kong and based in New York, Leo Chan managed to do what many guys dream of but most don’t get to do: He left his job in finance after four years, and along with his girlfriend Alicia Mara, got a sponsorship project to travel the world for five months. Five years and 41 countries later, they are both still working exclusively on his blog Levitate Style, using their travels to Egypt, Portugal, Spain, and more as inspiration for stylish posts.

Travel is a throughline in most of Chan’s posts, not limited to our current favorite from a recent trip to Los Angeles. “This is an effortless travel outfit bringing the NYC monochromatic street style to L.A.,” he explains. “Wearing [some of] my favorite travel essentials — comfortable turtleneck shirt, plaid coat, ripped jeans, and Balenciaga speed sneakers — lets me go from all day exploring town to dinner with friends at night.”

Take one look at Bobby Hicks’ Instagram or YouTube channel and you’ll see this guy loves the outdoors. Outside exercising, outside with his girlfriend, or outside with his dog, there is one thing that’s always true: The dude looks pulled together even though his outdoorsy look is easy and effortless. Rustic style can quickly skew to a functional place and leave fashion out of it completely. Hicks repeatedly shows how to tackle time outside well, whether it’s the up in the mountains or downtown.

“I love living in NYC, but I'm happiest in the woods, and this outfit just felt right in so many ways,” Hicks says about his ensemble we chose as our favorite. “I basically live in jeans, but always love to create a color contrast against the blue of the denim, to find complementary or triadic color schemes.”

This quintessentially cool-weather color palette is timeless and likely to never go out of style. He adds of his look: “During the fall, it's magical because your environment can then complement your outfit in ways that you can't find in the city.”

Budget

J.Crew Field Mechanic Jacket, $198 at JCrew.com

Born in Los Angeles with roots in France, Talun Zeitoun has become an influential voice in fashion. With a hairstylist mother who works with some of the biggest celebrities in the game, Talun had a unique exposure to the world not many kids can say they’ve had. His upbringing, along with being a true talent in his own right, has led him to be a sought-after authority in the luxury style space, allowing him to work with Coach, Christian Louboutin, and Saks Fifth Avenue, to name a few.

As you scroll through his namesake blog, TalunZeitoun.com, it quickly becomes clear he favors a calm, classic, neutral color palette when showcasing his style, and our outfit of choice is no exception.

“I'm into warmer tones when it's really cool out — I like the irony of it,” he says about his layers of the saturated shade of camel, a classic color season after season. “Plus, being efficient with fewer, but thicker layers helps minimize bulk and streamline a refined winter look.”

Items to shop inspired by Talun’s look:

One half of the brother-sister duo @theleisibs, Tommy Lei has an unlimited sense of self he shows off on his blog, MyBelonging.com. Whether he’s carrying a leopard print Jeff Wan bag the size and shape of a milk carton or stopping to pose with an iconic Versace print shirt tucked into his pink pants that perfectly match his hair, Tommy takes the laissez-faire attitude of Los Angeles and displays it for all to enjoy. But even in LA, outerwear can play an important role in his daily outfits of choice. We picked this understated combination due to its sophisticated simplicity.

“A shawl, wool coat is a great essential to have in any man’s wardrobe, so it’s paramount for me to invest in one that will stand the test of time and seasons,” says Lei. “The one I am wearing is from emerging LA-based label, Arcady, and their version of it is spectacularly tailored and just voluminous enough to be worn on both coasts.”

Another key to this coat’s success? Its camel hue, much like that seen in the post above, is a classic color that should be adopted by every man looking to dress well. Explains Lei: “Its camel tones are also particularly flattering on almost all skin tones and complexions, so naturally it makes second-skin styling that much more effortless.”

Items to shop inspired by Tommy’s look:

Budget

Laneus Belted Midi Coat, $329 at Farfetch.com

Gobiger Aviator Sunglasses, $12.99 at Amazon.com

H&M Reversible Shopper, $24.99 at HM.com

Zara Travel Jogging Pants, $49.90 at Zara.com

Fila Strada Disruptor, from $41.98 at Amazon.com

Arcady Belted Shawl Collar Coat, $695 at Arcady.com

Ray-Ban 58mm Metal Aviator Sunglasses, $168 at Amazon.com
