Sale periods can be stressful all round, but if you approach them with caution—and a lot of consideration—then they can actually be great times to invest in really classic, affordable pieces to bolster your wardrobes. And I’m not talking about impulse high street buys that you’ll only wear once. If you know where to look you can find capsule pieces that will last you season after season, even if they do have a low price tag.
Below, I’ve proven this theory by assembling six expensive-looking outfits that consist of only under-£100 items I’ve found in the Black Friday sales. You might not believe it when you see them, but with so many incredible discounts happening right now (and a little bit of insider expertise thrown in), it was positively easy. The best thing about the pieces in these looks is that they can all be mixed and matched to create new, similarly elevated, outfits, as well as being layered up (or de-layered) depending on the season you’re dressing for.
From designer-looking wool coats and smart tailoring to chunky knits, classic loafers and jeans—keep scrolling to see and shop the six versatile outfits I’ve assembled for those, like me, who have expensive taste on a high street budget. Happy sale shopping!
