The 12 high-street finds that will make your wardrobe look way more expensive than it really is – including a viral bag
DO you want to dress like you’ve just had a spending splurge in Selfridges when, in reality, you definitely don’t have the cash for designer garms?
I’m a Fashion Director and I spend my life trawling the high street so you don’t have to, quickly sorting out the tut from the top-end buys – and even I can’t believe that these 14 pieces aren’t designer!

With prices from £15.99, you too can look runway-ready for a snip.
There is something so satisfying about saying to someone: “This? Oh, it’s just H&M!”
Maybe you’re looking for something to rock an occasion this summer or a designer-dupe bag that will save you an absolute packet.
Or perhaps the leather dress that looks like it just came straight from Paris Fashion Week is a bit of you.
Scroll down for our pick of the high street’s most luxe-looking pieces.

Shoes, £99, Charles & Keith – BUY NOW
After Chloe’s Paris Fashion Week show, wedges are firmly back on the radar, as are chunky heels and ballet flats.

Bag, £65, COS – BUY NOW

Blouse, £54.99, H&M – BUY NOW
Frilly, frothy and oversized, this pretty, ruffled top will look just as great teamed with rolled-up combats as it would with a pair of wide-leg tuxedo trousers.

Earrings, £15.99, Zara – BUY NOW
Statement earrings are all over my social channels again.
These ones are dead-ringers for Monica Vinader’s designs, which come in at five times the price!

Dress, £119.99, Mango – BUY NOW
Look out for understated pieces that show real attention to detail when you’re shopping the high street.
This Mango dress has a tiny satin bra inside, which just peeks out of the top, making it look like it should be hanging up in Harvey Nichols.

Dress, £229, Zara – BUY NOW
The new leather collection at Zara might be a little more expensive than its regular pieces, but boy does it deliver!

Jacket, £72, trousers, £47, both Next – BUY NOW
A white suit always looks expensive, especially with a tan.
In fact, it’s my absolute go-to for any occasion – except, of course, someone else’s wedding!
hm.comThis gorgeous monochrome maxi-dress is so versatile[/caption]
Dress, £64.99, H&M – BUY NOW
I am not sure if it’s the top-stitching, the neck scarf or the fit and flare shape, but this dress whispers quiet luxury to me.
What’s more, because it’s a button-through dress, it would also look amazing over white wide-leg trousers.
massimodutti.comThis bag delivers classic design that will never date[/caption]
Bag, £199, Massimo Dutti – BUY NOW
It’s slim-pickings when it comes to finding good-quality leather handbags on the high street at the minute, but Massimo Dutti is always one of the first places I try.
This gorgeous woven wonder is a real investment buy I’d use again and again.
mango.comAlways look out for silk, cashmere and linen fabrics[/caption]
Blouse, £79.99, skirt, £59.99, both Mango – BUY NOW
The relaxed nature of washed linen always looks high-end.

Slingbacks, £49.99, Mango – BUY NOW
There are a few Miu Miu kitten-heel dupes around, but these are my favourites.
Super-sharp, sexy and with a saving of £875, I’m sold!
