Online shopping has let us all come by luxe-looking wardrobe items on Amazon at an affordable price with just a few clicks no matter when the shopping itch strikes. And while I certainly don't have all the best shopping tips, I have certainly learned a thing or two on my countless shopping journeys. One thing I know for sure is that impeccable style is usually found in the nuances of how you put a look together — in other words, small details are king.

For example, a simple bra clip that hides the straps can instantly polish and perfect your outfit. And then there are these extra-wide, criss-cross headbands that add a glamorous touch to literally any outfit. (They're even a great way to keep your hair out of your face during a workout.)

These little touches can not only upgrade the style of your outfits, but also the functionality, like a classic faux leather tote that's big enough for my laptop and other work essentials. Likewise, I'm a sucker for these flats that go with absolutely everything and never fail to keep me comfortable during my commute.

See where I'm going here? Peruse this list for more items that provide an expensive-looking touch to your wardrobe without spending a lot of money.

These Sunglasses That Can Upgrade Any Outfit

You can look polished on even your most casual days with these mirrored cat-eye sunglasses with old Hollywood vibes. The classic-meets-trendy glasses feature gold detailing and nose pads for comfort, while the polarized lenses reduce glare from the sun and protect eyes from harmful UVA, UVB, and UVC rays.

5

These Skinny Belts That Are A Perfect Finishing Touch

One of my favorite styling tricks is to add a skinny belt to a look that needs just a finishing touch. They're great with denim or slacks, but they're also the perfect way to add definition to blousy tops and dresses. This set of four belts is made with elastic and faux leather and features interlocking gold-tone buckles.

6

The Wallet That Can Protect You From Identity Theft

This faux leather wallet is equal parts fashionable and functional. It features an impressive 18 card slots, along with two big zippered pockets for cash and a phone. Better yet, the addition of RFID-blocking technology works to prevent identity theft. Choose from 43 colors, like champagne, yellow, and baby blue.

7

I love how a scarf can add an instant dose of intrigue to your look whether you wear it in your hair or on your bag.

Make them a go-to for keeping your hair tucked back while working out or washing your face, too.

9

These Leather Gloves That Won't Break The Bank

One look at these leather gloves and you'd assume they cost an arm and a leg. But for little more than the price of brunch, you can keep your hands warm (and in style) all year round.
