Looking your best doesn’t have to cost a pretty penny, but it’s important to know where to shop without being held hostage by your overspending habits. Spring is the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe, and Target’s spring fashion lineup continues to deliver some of the best affordable clothing that looks far more expensive than its price tag.

These budget-friendly closet staples can give you a luxe, effortless vibe while staying well within budget. If you’re ready to step into spring looking stylish, sophisticated at affordable prices, here are four spring clothing items for the whole family from Target that look more expensive than they are.

1. Toddler Girls’ Embroidered Denim Dress

  • Price: $20.00

These girls’ mini polka dot dresses from Cat & Jack lend an air of casual refinement and grace to any little cutie wearing them. Combine it with a sweet cardigan, fun barrettes and a pair of black slip-on ballet flats for a winning number.

Nordstrom sells a similar Girl’s Printed Tiered Dress for $69, which is a little more than twice the price of Target’s version.

2. Boys’ Suit Jacket

  • Price: $30.00

A fresh idea for spring is this Cat & Jack boys’ suit jacket with three pockets, a back vent and a notched collar with button-down style front. It can be worn with a short-sleeve, polo-style shirt or dress shirt for a polished look. Consider pairing it with the matching pants that are sold separately.

It’s possible to spend much more for a similar product. Appaman has advertised a boys’ Linen Sports Jacket for $115, for example.

3. Women’s Lace Maxi A-Line Dress

  • Price: $45.00

Look stylish in this sleeveless lace dress, which is breezy, lightweight and made out of 100% cotton (microplastics are so out this season). Add a clutch purse, pendant necklace and heels to lend an air of luxury. The feminine floral pattern will make you want to float to the next front porch you see for some lemonade.

Neiman Marcus offers a polyester A-line maxi dress that sells for almost $400, which is a much higher price for a comparable style.

4. Men’s Casual Linen Suit Blazer Jacket

  • Price: $56.29

This Coolmee men’s casual blazer jacket is one way to stand out in a crowd this upcoming wedding season. The classic fit and modern pattern can be worn with casual suit pants or jeans for a rugged, handsome look. No matter what style of shirt it is paired with, it’s a smart choice.

JoS. A. Bank sells a Linen Blend Suit Jacket that’s about four times the price at $240.
