Expensive doesn’t automatically equal stylish. Just take a look at the affordable celebrity outfits that have been popping up all summer long. Several tastemakers are effortlessly mixing economical finds with investment-worthy pieces for a fail-proof outfit formula.
Take Mrs. Hailey Bieber, for example. Earlier this week the 26-year-old elevated a timeless jean-and-T-shirt moment. Her secret weapon is finding affordable brands that offer high-quality pieces. Bieber’s go-to at the moment for the best white T-shirts is Leset. She’s been photographed in the brand’s Kelly cropped tee, which comes with a $72 price tag, at least three times this summer. And she’s not the only one having an affordable girl summer. Taylor Swift is practically queen with a collection of Madewell handbags and Reformation shoes. Even Sofia Richie—a paragon of quiet luxury—can’t say no to a great pair of jeans that are available at a fraction of the price.
Find these and so much more in our roundup ahead.

Jenner shows us the easiest way to elevate an affordable outfit: Choose a chic all-white palette to start with, and mix in accessories that add a hint of color. Jenner’s Goyard bag elevates the casual number, while her Adidas Samba sneakers add the cool-girl touch.
