Have a look to see if your top pick is amongst them…
One of those Antonia was raving about as ”elegant” was the Spanish fast fashion giant, Zara – and the UK-based pro is not the first one to praise the retailer.
Elegance coach Anna Bey also ventured to Zara where she managed to find a number of items that look more expensive than they really are.
She explained on YouTube that the trick here is to bag basics that will trick people into thinking you’ve spent a fortune, when really they’re from the high street.
Amongst some of her favourite affordable buys were platform boots, a pair of tailored black trousers, as well as a high neck knitted jumper and a V-neck polo shirt for £25.99.
Another store Antonia mentioned in the video was no other than H&M – and according to another fashionista, the brand offers a range of budget-friendly summer dresses that will elevate your appearance.
These, the style fanatic, from Denmark, revealed, included a maxi dress with white straps in white you can nab for £55 and a ribbed maxi frock on sale for just £9.
Meanwhile, in the footwear department, the guru advised to pop into Dune, where you can bag stylish and elegant shoes currently with a whopping 30 percent off.
Sharing her favourite bargain finds, Antonia also praised customer-loved Marks & Spencer, as well as Next.
In the last few years, the retailer Marks & Spencer has become somewhat of an internet sensation, with shoppers sharing their amazing hauls online.

These have included both office-friendly trousers for under £20, as well as a wide array of designer bag dupes, such as their sell-out version of the viral Celine bag that’s £3,065 cheaper than the original.
Unfortunately, there was one store that didn’t make the cut – Primark, often known for its low prices.
”What’s your favourite? I love Marks and Spencer,” Antonia revealed in the comments.
Fellow fashionistas raced to comments, where dozens shared their top picks.
One, for instance, said: ”mango is better than Zara if you ask me.”
A second chimed in: ”I never have good luck at Zara but I know lots of people do. H&M always does better for me.”
”mango and stradivarius too,” someone else penned.
”Thank you for sharing!! I have been searching high & low for elegant budget friendly brands!” a TikTok user said.
”I love New Look as well,” a style fanatic wrote.
