People Always Think These European-Look Fashion Pieces Are Designer, But They Start at Just $8

Maybe you’re headed on a European vacation, or maybe you wish you were and just want to dress the part. Either way, there are smart ways to style your look so that you’re channeling the vibes from abroad. The trick is to bring in elements that are familiar to the areas, like neutral colors, floral patterns and striking stripes. When you pair them with light, breathable materials, you’ll be on your way to a luxe look.

To prove that you really can dress the part without breaking the bank, we focused on the best tops, dresses, skirts and pants for just $15 or under. You might not be flying to Paris, Barcelona, Santorini or Portofino this summer, but you can look like it (and look expensive while doing it)!

Tops

1. Our Favorite: A short-sleeved button-down shirt will never go to waste, as you can style it with linen pants, a skirt or even as a bathing suit cover-up.

2. Beautiful Bows: Bring the feminine vibes with peplum-style top that features a bow on each shoulder, an elastic bodice and a charming floral pattern.

3. Non-Basic Tee: A basic T-shirt is fine, but you can make it a little more interesting with eyelet embroidered top that will pair well with any bottoms in your suitcase.

4. Pretty Puffs: Available in over 40 colors and patterns, the longer length of this puff-sleeved polka-dot shirt means it can be worn with a range of pants and skirts — just get creative with how you tuck it in.

5. Easy Embroidery: This embroidered cropped number has an overall waffle material to give it a more Amalfi Coast-friendly feel. You just have to decide which of the 16 colors to pick.

Dresses

6. Our Favorite: A basic dress is the base for many outfits, and this cap-sleeved T-shirt dress works as the backdrop for styling with a cardigan, an oversized hat or whatever look you’re after.

7. On-Point Palette: Something about blue and white just feel like a European summer, and the above-the-knee length, short sleeves and pockets make this V-neck dress a winner.

8. Unexpected Color: This tank-style midi dress features thin stripes and has a surprise red hem for a pop of color. The side slits are a nice touch, too!

9. Sweet and Smocked: Instead of stressing over your outfits, snag this flutter-sleeved dress with a forgiving bodice that can be paired with your favorite flats, sneakers or sandals.

10. Rich Mom Vibes: This black dress with red flowers is just begging to be your choice for a nighttime occasion. Its sleeveless, maxi style is ideal for a summer look.

Skirts

11. Our Favorite: This isn’t your average style, as this flowy midi skirt has an asymmetrical design to give it more body as you walk.

12. Merry Midi: Hitting right at the calf, this high-waisted skirt has a floral pattern and an A-line style. Pair it with a tank or tee in the length of your choice.

13. Mad for Maxi: A maxi floral skirt gives all the European vibes, and the combination of pink and orange makes this a more fun option.

14. Smart Stripes: Vertical stripes are a smart way to elongate and slim the body, and the yellow and white color palette makes this midi pleated skirt Euro-ready.

15. Nice Knees: For those who prefer a shorter style, this knee-length skirt has chiffon-like material to really give an airy feel. All eight colors work for summer, too.

Pants

16. Our Favorite: The high waist and drawstring detail make these linen and cotton pants comfortable, and the above-the-ankle length is super flattering.

17. All in the Details: To spice up these flowy mid-rise pants, they feature rick-rack hems to make them stand out from the rest.

18. Luxe Look: There’s something so chic about a pair of pants with very thin vertical stripes. You can wear these with a simple white tee and be out the door!
