I went to Target with a $100 budget for clothes. I found 5 high-end dupes to refresh my wardrobe.

When I reached the dressing room, I had five pieces in my cart: three tops and two pants. They totaled $126 (or $119.70 if I used my Target debit card to save 5%).

My selections, as it turned out, were nearly perfect. I could either go $26 over budget — it wouldn’t be the first time I did so at Target — or remove one pair of trousers to lower my total to $98.

Target’s $25 striped sweater looked similar to a $198 piece I saw on the Neiman Marcus website, and the $28 burgundy chino pants reminded me of Anthropologie’s $130 trousers.

The final item in my cart was a $25 cream vest, which wasn’t too far off from Ralph Lauren’s sold-out $175 piece.

For $100 (or $126 if I went slightly over budget), I could purchase four or five dupes of higher-end garments.

The versatile pieces could also perfectly refresh my wardrobe at home and make countless new outfits.

Granted, I don’t think anyone would be fooled into thinking my new Target outfits are designer. The store’s vest was made of thin rayon instead of Ralph Lauren’s thick cotton, and the cargo pants I tried on were a little more sheer than I’d like.

However, Target’s clothes weren’t poor quality. The tops and trousers I tried on felt comfortable, classic, and made of good materials for their respective prices. I could see myself keeping any of the items I chose for years.

But even better: they were affordable. Why splurge on something in my online cart when I can buy five new pieces for the price of one?
