I get such a thrill uncovering a special gem that looks expensive and like it could easily have another zero on the price but rings in on the more affordable side. On that note, I found five under-$100 items recently that I just had to show my friends in a group chat. (Side note, I often send through cool items when I see them to inspire their shopping needs.) My friends honestly couldn't believe the said finds were under $100 because of their elevated feel.

Below, you'll uncover the items in question that have modern and forward design details. I also went through a slew of my favorite stores to bring you an edit of even more expensive-looking items, including beautiful dresses, chic footwear styles, and cool shirting silhouettes. Keep scrolling for more.

Next, check out more amazing affordable items.
