Whilst we all want to look our most polished selves, we don't all necessarily have the endless budgets to buy our coveted designer brands as our favourite A-List muses do. However, that doesn't mean to say that its an impossible dream: we bring you high-end vibes but with a high-street price.

The high-street is a treasure trove full of premium looking pieces without a hefty price tag to go with it. There's really nothing better than wearing a high-street piece and someone mistaking it for a designer.

Each week we round up 10 things from the high street that look like the real deal, this week's spotlight is ASOS...

  1. 1/10

    ASOS DESIGN drape detail bandeau jumpsuit in khaki linen

    Drape Detail Bandeau Jumpsuit

    ASOS DESIGN

    There's nothing we love more than an effortlessly chic outfit, and this jumpsuit is just that. With the effect of a matching top and trousers, we love that this linen number is an all-in-one. It's the perfect piece for summer.

  2. 2/10

    Harissa toe thong mid heeled sandals in brown

    Harissa Toe Thong Mid Heeled Sandals

    ASOS DESIGN

    As we've seen from the SS24 runways, this season the chunkier styled sandals are on their way out and designers favoured strappy, more feminine shapes instead. The chocolate brown tone gives a softer finish than black for summer.

  3. 3/10

    square neck tie back linen mini sundress in abstract print

    Square Neck Tie Back Linen Mini Sundress

    ASOS DESIGN

    This year we're looking for floral alternatives and this ticks every box- we love this abstract patchwork style print. Linen is a must have for the summer months - this is going straight in our basket.

  4. 4/10

    Isabel mix & match linen look A-line bandeau beach top

    Isabel Mix & Match Linen Look A-Line Bandeau Beach Top

    ASOS DESIGN

    Avoid tan lines this summer and opt for this chic strapless number. Its creamy, linen hue will ensure you can easily pair it with anything and it's cut-out ruched strap back adds a little extra interest.

  5. 5/10

    tailored wide leg trouser with pleat detail

    Tailored Wide Leg Trouser With Pleat Detail

    ASOS DESIGN

    A sleek pair of tailored trousers have fast become a staple for any capsule wardrobe. We love the brown as a softer style for summer. Pair with a white tee and chunky sandals and you're sorted.

  6. 6/10

    clean bandeau top & tie waist midi skirt

    Clean Bandeau Top & Tie Waist Midi Skirt

    ASOS DESIGN

    There's nothing as versatile as a co-ord. We love this monochrome abstract print style. It's so much more than just one outfit, it will be two of the hardest working pieces in your wardrobe.

  7. 7/10

    cotton poplin peplum tie shirt top

    Cotton Poplin Peplum Tie Shirt Top

    ASOS DESIGN

    We love finding a great dupe and this tie-front poplin top is giving us serious Ganni vibes. Animal print is certainly having its comeback moment at the minute so we're loving the leopard print. We'd style it with white jeans, simple sandals and some oversized sunnies.

  8. 8/10

    14k gold plated hoop earrings with twist hinge design

    14k Gold Plated Hoop Earrings With Twist Hinge Design

    ASOS DESIGN

    The gold twisted finish on these hoops makes them look much more luxe than they really are. They would easily slot into an every day jewellery look, or wear them as more of a statement earring.

  9. 9/10

    dad short with linen in stone stripe

    Dad Short With Linen

    ASOS DESIGN

    Shorts are always a tricky one to buy, but high-waist is always a flattering silhouette to opt for. We love the subtle pinstripe and pleating to make them slightly more tailored.

  10. 10/10

     longline cami & maxi skrit co-ord in abstract crystal print

    Longline Cami & Maxi Skirt Co-Ord

    ASOS EDITION

    This pastel hued co-ord is going straight in our basket ready for a summer wedding or getaway. It's perfect for an evening event, just style it with strappy sandals and a plain clutch.
