Everyone has a favorite piece that they cannot live without. Whether that’s a beat up pair of jeans that you bought five years ago that have great quality or a dainty necklace that elevates any outfit look, there’s no doubt that we all enjoy a few items in our wardrobe more than others. Our team has gathered up our top high quality pieces that we have come to adore throughout the year, in hope to share with our audience.
When speaking of high quality, there’s a misconception that refers to the high price of these items. Of course, we, as a collective, have come accustomed to believing that we have to spend an arm and a leg to receive the best quality. Due to luxury brands' advertisements, we associate great quality with a greater price. However once you understand your necessities as a buyer and become more educated in the fashion realm, you’ll start to be able to comprehend everything from the touch of a fabric to the way the clothes hang on you.
We've compiled an assortment of styles and textures that have been backed up by consumers who rate the pieces on the high-end of the scale. When looking over the curation of the list, take note that all of the items are under $100! You will find that each piece offers quality, while staying in a budget-friendly price range.
Tops are an everyday essential that has branched out in various categories. If you’re leaning more towards a casual presence of your outfit, there’s a basic white tee or a button up that can cultivate a simple look in a compelling manner. However, with white tees it can be difficult to find high-quality that won’t cost you too much. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed or fitted shirt, the material matters the most, which can be seen with Anthropologie’s Scoop Neck Tee. Same goes for mesh tops; they tend to tear easily after just one wear. The Free People Mesh Top offers consumers a stretchy and soft material to go against their skin, rather than a scratchy fabric.
It is finally sweater season with the weather becoming cool and sending a nice breeze in the atmosphere. To stay warm, you need a cozy top that’ll keep the warmth from escaping the fabric. That’s why good quality material is needed, especially for those living in colder climates. Whether you’re in a chill mood and need the American Eagle hoodie or looking to be fashionably layered, this selection is sure to give you the best of your money. Each piece is crafted with a good percentage of cotton to ensure you are cozy and that everything molds to your body type.
We need durability when it comes to the pants we wear; pants that don’t have thin material that feels as if it’ll snag on anything, or tear at the seams if you move the wrong way, are ideal. The three pants offer a range of style and durability with their makeup being 50% cotton or more (no polyester). The Mango pants composition is 50% cotton and 50% lyocell, which is a durable fabric that is good for both the planet and humans.
Though the selection of this category may be considered dainty, they still have a lot to offer. We have agreed on the fact that while big, clunky jewelry gives an outfit a different mood, it is the daintiness of these accessories that serves for a timeless look for a great price. Another thing to note: because gold jewelry may be harder to maintain, especially if you’re not wanting to spend too much, the list below is clear in making sure you receive the best quality by adding specific materials used to curate these beauties.
Step into your wardrobe knowing you’ll walk out in comfort and style. Gazette Gal agreed that the three shoes listed offer the needs for those who may be on their feet all day. From lifestyle to activewear, the shoes give great cushion and sturdiness, especially considering the make-up of their design. All three brands are known for their durability that are made to last, which must be taken into consideration when adding quality pieces to your closet; as always quality over quantity.
Add more flair to your clothes with the help of accessories. Not just any, of course, but be selective with what you add to elevate your look. It could be as simple as adding the soft socks from Alo, or the extravagance of the Mango satin scarf.
