I'm ashamed to admit that, despite only living in New York for two years, my sweater collection is overflowing. From flimsy knits I found in fast-fashion clearance bins to high-end pass-me-downs that I've borrowed from my sister's closet, there's no shortage of collared knits, cardigans, and pullovers in my tiny closet.

I've been trying to dwindle down my clothing collection as we head into the fall, but this year, I find myself being pulled to more and more attractive, timeless, rich-looking pieces that I know I'll look and feel good in. Thankfully, while browsing Nordstrom's jaw-dropping sweater section full of well-priced gems, I stumbled upon 33 sweaters that look straight out of a trust fund. While there's no exact outfit formula to replicate if you're aiming to achieve the rich-girl vibe, you can buy well-crafted, high-quality pieces that appear 10 times more expensive than they actually are.

Below, browse the best luxe-looking sweaters, cardigans, and knits available at Nordstrom for you to shop right now. You can thank me later!
